On Tuesday, August 4, the Snohomish Public Utility Commissioners will vote on a $98 million proposal for the SnoPUD Advanced Metering Infrastructure program (AMI). Smart meters emit radio frequency radiation in short bursts with some meters emitting bursts 9600 to up to 190,000 bursts a day. EHT (Environmental Health Trust) has been invited to present on the complex issue of radio frequency radiation and why so many communities are opposed to increasing their daily exposure to this type of non-ionizing radiation. Why are scientists calling to reduce radio frequency radiation exposure?
Theodora Scarato, Executive Director Environmental Health Trust and Elizabeth Kelley Executive Director of the Electromagnetic Safety Alliance, Inc. who also directs the International EMF Scientist Appeal Campaign to the United Nations present an educational webinar to begin the conversation.
