On April 23, representatives from Stop Smart Meters UK ( http://stopsmartmeters.org.uk/) spoke to British MP’s about the clear and present risks which ‘smart’ meters would impose upon British families.
Dr Liz Evans spoke of health effects, saying there are hundreds of studies showing “evidence of harm could be acute”, including possible “chronic effects from long term exposure such as cancer, infertility, dementia, genetic damage, immune system dysfunction and damage to foetuses”.
IT systems engineer Mike Mitcham added newly uncovered information about the dangers of hacking vulnerabilities and privacy violations caused by the new meters installations.
On May 10, the UK Government announced that the ‘smart’ meter installations throughout the country will be delayed by more than a year.

Martha R Herbert, PhD, MD, a pediatric neurologist and neuroscientist on the faculty of Harvard Medical School has warned that W-Fi should not be used in schools due to concerns that exposure to the pulsed microwave radiation used in Wi-Fi may have adverse effects on children’s ability to learn and potentially damage their health.
In a letter to the Los Angeles Unified School District, Dr Herbert stated:
“EMF/RFR from Wi-Fi and cell towers can exert a disorganizing effect on the ability to learn and remember, and can also be destabilizing to immune and metabolic function. This will make it harder for some children to learn, particularly those who are already having problems in the first place.”
Dr Herbert has also written a 60 page paper about how exposure to electromagnetic radiation may affect children’s development, supported by more than over 550 references to the scientific literature.
Dr Herbert’s letter to the Los Angeles Unified School District may be viewed at the following link, and her paper may be downloaded from the following link:
