Numerous individuals engaged in the design of sophisticated smart homes may lack an awareness of the extent of RF (radio frequency) radiation exposure to which they are subjecting their families. Moreover, many of these individuals may not recognize the potential hazards associated with such radiation. Their primary focus tends to be on the convenience and novelty offered by smart home technologies. RF radiation emissions from a smart home stem from two distinct sources. Initially, smart devices interconnected wirelessly within the system emit RF radiation through their wireless signals. Each wireless device essentially functions as a miniature cell tower within the household. Additionally, smart devices lacking wireless connectivity but linked through the home's electrical wiring induce the emission of a hazardous variety of RF radiation termed "dirty electricity." Within the scope…

What are Smart Meters? Smartmeters, the latest devices used for measuring utility consumption, including electricity, water, and gas, are being installed nationwide in residential and commercial buildings. These meters, provided by utility companies and governments, replace the traditional analogue meters with digital "smart" meters. It is important to note that many individuals are unaware of the switch from analogue to smart meters or the ongoing process of installation. While analogue meters have been used for several decades, the new smart meters rely on digital technology. One significant concern regarding smart meters is their emission of radio-frequency radiation (RFR). This type of electromagnetic exposure is biologically active and can be absorbed by the human body. The wireless communication networks used by smart meters to communicate with other devices and utility providers…

As the implementation of 5G technology progresses in certain test markets and the widespread installation of smart meters becomes increasingly common, it is crucial to gain a comprehensive understanding of the nature of smart meters, the type of radiation they emit, and its intensity. Introduction to Smart Meter Radiation When we refer to "smart meter radiation," we are actually discussing radio frequency radiation, which is a form of electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation emitted by smart meters. This type of radiation is not unique or novel; it is simply a reference to the source of radiation. The reason why this term is commonly used is due to the growing prevalence of smart meters, which is becoming an issue affecting almost every homeowner in developed countries like the United States, Canada, and…
