Document 1 – American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) letter.
The AAEM has written a letter to the California Public Utilities Commission calling for a halt to wireless smart meter installations on all houses and schools. This represents the first national medical group to look in-depth at wireless health risks and to advise the public and decision-makers about the pressing need for preventative public health action.
Document 2 – County of Santa Cruz report on Smart Meter safety
Dr. Kendall claims that smart meter radiation is safe based solely on Health Canada’s Safety Code 6. This document, which contains a report written by Dr. Namkung, the Public Health Officer for the County of Santa Cruz, casts serious doubts on Dr. Kendall’s reassurances, by stating that “FCC guidelines are irrelevant and cannot be used for any claims of Smart Meter safety”. FCC guidelines and Safety Code 6 are the same.
Amongst a number of damning observations, the Santa Cruz Public Health Officer’s report states: “Meeting the current FCC guidelines only assures that one should not have heat damage from Smart Meter exposure.
It says nothing about safety from the risk of many chronic diseases that the public is most concerned about such as cancer, miscarriage, birth defects, semen quality, autoimmune diseases, etc.”
“In light of these statements from prominent members of the medical community, Dr. Kendall’s claims that there is unanimity amongst health authorities that the electromagnetic radiation emitted from a smart meter is safe are simply not true,” states Steve Satow, President of the StopSmartMeters.ca Society.
Based on Dr. Namkung’s report, as well as other evidence, the Administrative Officer for the County of Santa Cruz in California has submitted a report to the County Board of Supervisors recommending that Santa Cruz County residents be allowed to remove Smart Meters and replace them with an analog meter, and that they impose a temporary moratorium on the installation of smart meters in Santa Cruz County.
“This report fully validates all of the concerns that are currently being raised by the citizens of BC”, says Walter McGinnis, vice president of StopSmartMeters.ca. “The fact that we cannot find one single member of the legislative assembly to represent us, to speak for us, only reinforces why we must have an initiative vote on smart meters,” says McGinnis.
“The government continues to press ahead with this ill-conceived program in the face of mounting public outrage in what I can only describe as a complete dereliction of the democratic process,” states Steve Satow.
