I know next to nothing on this radiation stuff suffice say to say I believe the new smart meters that are being installed in Perth are likely to cause even more damage to our health.
Well, I'm married to someone who spent years of her life as a neuroscientist learning about mobile phone radiation. She had a whole lab, with electromagnetic screening etc, rigged up at a G8 university. The project was to follow up a slight possibility, raised in a UoW lab, that phone radiation had an effect on one brain wave frequency.
When she started the project she was scared about what would happen if mobiles did have a bad effect on the brain, although she thought it was very unlikely as so many studies had showed that they did not. On the other hand, if she could prove they DID, it would be great for her career since (despite what many claim) scientists develop their careers by breaking down the accepted theories. In the end, she found nothing. The effect she was looking for did not exist.
So if you "know next to nothing" why should we believe anything you say on this subject, especially when people who have spent years researching the area say you are wrong?
