Smart meters and potential health risks

The assessment of potential health effects from Smart Meters is the subject of 4 reports from the US released in 2010 / 11.

The California Council on Science and Technology, a State Government body concludes:

The CCST Project team, after carefully reviewing the available literature on the current state of science on health impacts of radiofrequency from smart meters and input from a wide variety of subject matter experts, concludes that:

  1. The FCC standard provides a currently accepted factor of safety against known thermally induced health impacts of smart meters and other electronic devices in the same range of emissions.  Exposure levels from smart meters are well below the thresholds for such effects.
     
  2. There is no evidence that additional standards are needed to protect the public from smart meters.
