Ten years ago our adult son moved to a new rental apartment near Kingston NY.  Over the course of several weeks sleeping in the new bedroom, he was awakened repeatedly during the night with severe headaches.  Having never experienced any such headaches or interrupted sleep previously he assumed it had something to do with his new environment but was at a loss as to the cause.  It was suggested he find out where his apartment’s electric meters were placed.  He discovered that four digital smart electric meters for the apartments in his building were mounted together outside on the wall directly behind where he had been sleeping in his bed, his head no more than a foot or two from these meters.  From this close and persistent contact with the pulsating micro radiation over several weeks, he suddenly found himself faced with a health condition he had never heard of before, but which induced severe reactions whenever he found himself near any sources of RF/EMF radiation, i.e. routers, meters, cell towers.  That was ten years ago.  Since then, married with children, he has struggled to lead as normal a life as possible, but a life severely circumscribed by the limitations imposed by EMF disease.  His work, home and family life are affected enormously.  When he and his family visit us on Long Island we do our best to provide a comfortable environment as free from EMF sources as possible.  We have no smart meter on our home measuring our electricity usage.  We maintain an analog meter for which we must pay an $12 to $14 premium each month to PSEG.  In our research we were incredulous to discover that the last time that the FCC conducted a study of electro-magnetic radiation was 1996 – 30 years ago.  I point to the specific scientific studies referenced below to emphasize the very clear need for the FCC to conduct a very serious review of its regulations in light of the overwhelming body of evidence pointing to the severe health effects of RF/EMF radiation.  In addition, the Department of Health and Human Services needs to follow suit to address the severe consequences on the human body caused by the cumulative effects of RF/EMF exposure.
