ANSES concludes that it is unlikely that exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted by either radio-frequency smart meters (gas and water) or other meters (electricity), as they are currently being deployed, would generate health effects in either the short or the long term

ANSES says that ‘Exposure in the vicinity of a gas or water meter is very low, taking into account the low emission power and the reduced number of communications (less than one second 2 to 6 times per day). Exposure due to meters is well below that due to a GSM mobile phone, for example’
