Automated meters are digital, and outfitted with wireless communication modules, so they emit radio frequency (RF) energy just like other common household devices like cell phones, satellite TVs, baby monitors and microwaves.
The World Health Organization has determined that the small amount of RF energy produced by automated meters is not harmful to human health. The amount emitted is well below the limits set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and below the levels produced by other common household devices.
No credible evidence shows any threat to human health from RF emissions at or below the limits developed by the FCC.
