Smart meters emit radio frequency in three ways: strength, duration, and distance. The closer proximity of a smart meter to a person's bed may increase exposure. However, the majority of the emissions from a smart meter usually go towards the neighbor's home rather than the resident's own. The strength and duration of smart meter radiation is limited, and the ping durations are only a millisecond or so, which adds up to a small amount of exposure throughout the day. Some smart meters emit more radiation than others, and those closer to the substation may emit more pings.
