The age-old adage First Do No Harm should be the tempering goal of not only medicine, but government and industry, especially when they team up to deploy new technologies, set policies and serve the people.

This blog exists to reveal and analyze areas in which these powerful groups are failing to "first do no harm."

CFL light bulbs give off electromagnetic radiowave pollution

This link from a 2009 blog article gives more details on the radiation emissions that CFL light bulbs give off. My earlier post (the first one on this blog) detailed tons of health problems people get from these bulbs. Exposure to the electromagnetic emissions might explain the symptoms some people get.

In the same vein, my electric power company, Alliant Energy, FINALLY included a paragraph in their circular suggesting the use of LED bulbs for everyday functions. Before, the utility ONLY promoted CFL bulbs, and without any warnings about the mercury or electromagnetic emissions (which one would not expect, since it might detract from their marketing aims).

Why are people getting sick from wireless utility meters? Independent Scientific Study Reveals Violation of FCC Standards

Scientific Analysis of New Wireless Meters May Explain Reported Health Symptoms.

A new study on wireless „smart‟ meters shows they are likely to violate Federal Communications Commission (FCC) safety limits in some instances where they are installed and operated close to where people spend time in their homes and back yards. . Further, the study found it typical to have excessively elevated radiofrequency (RF) radiation levels in rooms adjacent to the meter, comparable to living within 200 - 600 feet of cell phone towers. . Scientific studies have reported adverse health effects from chronic exposure to pulsed RF at the same levels and frequencies emitted by smart meters.
