With more Wi-Fi being included with personal items in our homes, from our alarm systems to our HVAC systems and everything in between, how do we know how much we're ultimately being exposed to? We had a Wi-Fi smart meter removed from our power panel because it sits directly beneath our master bedroom, which means that we are being exposed to Wi-Fi all night long while we are sleeping. But we have to PAY an extra fee to not be radiated by our smart meter every month. And yet, the power company has NO RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that their Wi-Fi meter is safe for our health. There are so many issues that have yet to be addressed and I strongly urge this administration to fully research the safety of all these technologies.
