ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My history with this issue began September 2006 when National Grid came to my home and replaced our analog meter without our knowledge or consent with a digital smart meter. I immediately heard something that interfered with my sleeping. I never heard this before. I bought my home in 1999. There was never a problem with hearing a continual noise that never stops. Symptoms followed such as headaches and migraines of which no reoccurring history. I also had nose bleeds, nausea, muscle spasms, fatigue, to name the worst of them. I called the DPU, DPH, DEP, EPA, verizon and national grid hired noise experts electricians, power quality studies in my home with a dranetz. SPL octave band studies for pure tones. Learned in 1990 Barbara Kwetz signed into law pure tone regulations for MA. But to no avail. Our experts were not equipped to provide us with help or had conflict of interest. When the first generation of smart meters were rolled out the costumers of utilities and safe to say most of population were ignorant of what the impact of smart grid technology ie., radio frequency radiation pollution would negatively have on us when exposed. There is no escaping it where this technology is turned. The state did not complete a single test that would identify the problem and mitigate. It was a clown show. They also ignored an affidavit from arlo Guthrie who is a forensic sound engineer who identified pure tones are the source of the grid and telecommunications layer of grid. The agencies never reached out to speak with him. The testing the state planned, for a couple years allowed national grid to test at or property without hiring a disinterested party to watch the wolves in the hen house. National Grid left an SPL meter over night in our home and another outside and both had glitches and produced zero data to complete the testing protocol. Several demand letters later in 2012 in July we finally got our analog meter back. I felt better immediately and the severe symptoms have not come back since removing the digital meter. One thing I predicted would not be mitigated; that being the noise. The pulsed RF signals are causing interference on the uninsulated exposed wires so it is broadcasting 24/7 even during a power outage because of the back up batteries. We are being charged $26.00 a month to have a reader come out to read the meter! This has to be illegal because it is our right to be protected not abused for wanting safety and our health protected.
