Smart Meter Radiation Hazard: 100 Times Worse Than Cell Phone Radiation

Smart meters are being used to replace the old analog meter because manufacturers claim they are more efficient and provide nearly real-time data. However, they are not being totally honest about the radiation emitted from smart meters. Throughout the U.S. these more high-tech meters are being installed on water, gas and electrical devices in homes without the consent of the homeowner. According to Daniel Hirsch, an expert in nuclear policy at UCSC, the radiation emitted from smart meters may be 100 times higher than cell phone radiation.

Naked Airport Body Scanner May Increase Cancer Risk

Naked airport body scanners, also known as Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT), are beginning to be install in larger numbers throughout the United States and Europe. The airport body scanner uses ionizing radiation which is an electromagnetic wave that is destructive to atoms and molecules. Examples of ionizing radiation are ultraviolet (UV), x-rays and gamma rays. Our cells and DNA are made of complex structures of atoms and molecules; therefore, ionizing radiation can destabilize them.
