About Smart Meters EMF

  • -Smart meters are digital utility devices that automatically transmit your energy usage data to power companies using radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields in the 900 MHz to 2.4 GHz range.
  • -Unlike the old analog meters that required manual readings, these devices communicate wirelessly multiple times per day, creating a new source of EMF exposure directly on your home.
  • -What this means for you is continuous RF radiation emission from a device typically mounted just feet from your living space, often near bedrooms or kitchens where you spend significant time.

1950 MHz IMT-2000 field does not activate microglial cells in vitro

Unknown authors · 1950

Researchers exposed rat brain immune cells (microglia) to 1950 MHz cell phone radiation at various power levels for 2 hours and monitored them for 3 days. The study found no activation of these immune cells and no inflammatory response, even at radiation levels up to 2 W/kg. This suggests that this specific frequency may not trigger brain inflammation in laboratory conditions.

The SYB Research Database includes 1,426 peer-reviewed studies specifically examining smart meters electromagnetic radiation and its potential health effects. These studies have been conducted by researchers worldwide and published in scientific journals. The research examines various biological endpoints including cellular effects, neurological impacts, reproductive health, and other health outcomes.
76% of the 1,426 studies examining smart meters electromagnetic radiation found measurable biological effects. This means that 1084 studies documented observable changes when organisms were exposed to smart meters EMF. The remaining studies either found no significant effects or had inconclusive results.
