Smart Meters - Public Service Commission

irregular, skipping a beat every 3-7 beats. My pulse had never done that before. I then took my pulse in a
number of places inside and away from my house. My living room is basically the only place my pulse skips
beats. The irregularities occasionally occurred in a milder form in the dining room, which is at one end of the
living room. When my daughter was visiting, we sat in the living room for 20 or 30 minutes, then took our
pulses. Both our pulses skipped a beat after 10 to 11 beats. Why was my heart pumping irregularly only in my
living room? At some point I remembered that a SmartMeter had been installed a few months earlier on the
outside of my living room wall, directly behind my sofa. From what I have read, an irregular heartbeat can be
dangerous. I told PG&;E about my experience, but they refused to remove my SmartMeter, so now I don’t go in
my living room. A.H. Monterey County

The following letter is from a prominent doctor in Napa:
“I have a patient who is being injured from the SmartMeter. She has a history of Cardiomyopathy from
infection and was doing well until the SmartMeter went in last fall. She is now back in Atrial Fibrillation and
needs meds she does not tolerate well. It is all a result of the extra EMF. I will send you copies of articles about
how EMF effects patient’s heart rate. Is there are special complaint form I could send off to the SmartMeter
company that you use? I was going to dictate something for my patient and reference the EMF and heart rate
issue”.

They installed our Smart Meter about 3 months ago and I have been extremely sick from the day it was
installed. My husband who never has headaches, now has one 24 hrs. a day. I have been extremely sensitive to
RF/EMF since 2005 when a neighbor had 2 Sprint cell towers installed next door and we were forced to sell
and move.
We are trying to move now, but you have put Smart Meters on every house that might work for me. How come
you don’t have a contingency plan for RF sensitive people? You have made my life a living hell and won’t even
give me an option to have my old meter reinstalled even with a Drs. note saying how sick I am. J.M. Riverside

URGENT!! HEART CONDITION- SMART METERS MUST BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY!!! A bank of Smart
Meters, that emit radiation 24 hours a day, were installed on the wall of my home, and I have been severely
affected with heart palpitations, non-stop ringing in the ears, shortness of breath, insomnia, and sleep
interruption, and more. I posted signs not to install smart meters, which is a legal action, but PGE/Wellington
Energy illegally trespassed and ignored the signs.
I have a heart condition, and am EMF sensitive, and yet despite many very futile calls to PG &E, they have not
removed the meters, nor have they replaced them with the non-wireless analog meters that have worked
perfectly for decades. I have been an excellent ratepayer for decades, I am low-income and cannot afford to
move. This is unjust discrimination, and gross negligence not to allow an “opt-out” of any kind. And even
worse, with PG & E being fully aware that I have a heart condition, they have added more smart meters on the
wall of my home, and they are threatening to add double the meters to my home in the next days, or weeks.
How can a utility demand that our health, and the health of our families, and pets be exposed to 24 hour
radiation, with no ability to say “NO”? Anon, Sonoma
