David O Carpenter MD's report to the Quebec Energy Board, 30 April 2012
The State of Scientific Research as to whether advanced
meters transmitting by Radiofrequencies, as proposed in the present case (Hydro-Quebec),
may constitute a Risk of Serious or Irreversible Damage to Health
Expert Opinion Summary
It is my opinion that the state of scientific research sufficiently establishes a risk that meters transmitting by radiofrequencies as proposed in the present file by Hydro-Quebec may constitute a risk of serious as well as irreversible damage to health, through biological effects other than those resulting from heat. Some individuals or categories of individuals are more susceptible to injury than others (children, pregnant women, elderly, persons with illness, electrosensitive individuals, etc.)
Such non thermal effects are reviewed in section 5 of this report.
Therefore, there is justification for examining precautionary or prudent measures that could be applied in addition to the current standards (which are based only on biological effects resulting from heat) Discussion and examples of such possible precautionary or prudent measures are provided in sections 6 and 7 of this report.
