Please do a study on EMF's on our building in Payson,Arizona
A city councilman owns our building..Last summer 150 people from Payson stormed the city council meeting to decide about smart meters. Their concerns were many but included health concerns regarding EMF's..The world Health organization is again looking at EMF's since their head of theDept. got what is called EHS(electro hypersensitive syndrome)..
The building owned by the city councilman of Payson now has four banks of Smart Meters across the back of the building equally spaced on the ground floor on the back of the building…Also on the back of the building eight feet from the building are buried transmission lines, air conditioning units every four feet around the ground floor and two large grey boxes in the center of the building where all the electrical for all three stories comes in . We are also in the shadow of a microwave tower less than two hundred yards away…
I live on the ground floor and my health has been failing significantly..since moving to Arizona eight years ago..I live in the center of the building on the back side of this building in the area where all the wiring comes into the building behind the grey boxes..It is dark at the center of the building on the ground floor ..Every day I sit near the light from the windows..with closed windows because the noise from the AC/Units is so loud..and I see the microwave tower,the transformer box and the nine a/c units and can hear the "buzz'..I am grateful that you are doing a study with Navapache Electric..Our building has had the owner well versed in the effects of EMF's..by the group of angry protestors..but he did not modify the boxes where the old safe analog meters stood..No Shielding at all for each of the bank of sixteen meters times four across the building..APS construction crew stated that the responsibility to shield n the meters lie with the homeowner..not the tenant..
My concern is that in 'light' that the WHO is again 'looking ' into smart meters in march of 2014..tht APS is hurrying to put these meters in..despite the fact that Massachusetts has now reversed their opinion to allow them..It is my concern that the 'rush" to install these meters is to charge more and has been done without analyzing the background EMF's where they install the meters..
Most of the 'world" is adopting a 'Prudent' view of EMF's..China,Russia,Italy,Poland,AND Switzerland where the World Health organization is located has adopted a 'Prudent" attitude towards the meters..The United States has adopted a 'Willy nilly' approach..The selection of upper limit exposure..has been placed above the amount where childhood cancers arise at 1000 unitsWatts/meter2..It is not smart…to put additional EMF's in buildings ten feet from the rear of the building with ac units rimming the bottom floor.floor.Especially given that the majority of the residents are chronically ill…Please consider my request to monitor 807 south westerly ,Payson,Arizona 85541 in your study…Deb Dugger apartment # 112
Thank you for your correspondence. You mentioned that you would like ADHS to test your building’s EMF exposure levels. We are currently working with the Arizona Corporation Commission and the Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency on a project to evaluate the RF/EMF exposure from “Smart Meters” and potential health effects. As part of that study an appropriate sampling plan will be developed in order to give us information about the amount of RF/EMF exposure from “Smart Meters.” As part of the sampling plan, we are considering multiple exposure scenarios. One of those scenarios is a bank of “Smart Meters” such as those at your apartment complex. We appreciate your request for us to take samples at your apartment complex, and will consider that request as we develop the sampling plan.
