Bathing in RF

Here's yet another example of how many believe that we're already surrounded by RF, so we might as well give up. That's pretty much akin to saying, car exhaust is everywhere, so what's the harm in sucking on a tailpipe?

City to DTE: Please Stop Installing Smart Meters Until Further Review - Rochester Patch

City councilmember David Becker, who has a chemistry background, told the audience during that meeting that there has been a lot of misunderstanding about the smart meters but that there has been "no proven danger of radio frequency radiation whatsoever."

"All of us in this room are bathed in huge amounts of radio frequency at the moment," Becker said.

He urged those who spoke out against the meters to check scientific sources.

In his letter to DTE, Vettraino explained that he and other city leaders were under the impression that the meters would not be coming to Rochester until the city had a chance to learn more about them.

Instead, some of the meters have been changed out in the past several weeks, and Vettraino said he and councilmembers have received concerned phone calls from residents who are asking questions about the meters — questions the city cannot adequately answer without more information from DTE.
