Are WiFi routers a health hazard?

With the proliferation of WiFi, it was only going to be a matter of time before health concerns regarding the electromagnetic fields created by WiFi networks would be discussed.

In the United Kingdom, in particular, parent organizations in schools and local health organizations have been questioning the effects WiFi waves may have on children.This is becoming more of an issue, and some parents have even gone as far as suing a school district over plans to install an always-on WiFi network.

At the moment, there isn’t a single study that suggests any harm whatsoever from WiFi networks. Parents, however, say that this is a new technology and it will need long-term studies spanning years to find out.

In the meantime, they want protection for their kids. Some small stories have been popping up in the press across Europe about teachers or workers claiming to have become sick because of WiFi.This follows years of concerns regarding the dangers of cellular electromagnetic fields (phones and towers), which have been studied extensively with mixed results.

At the moment, it is generally agreed that using a mobile phone for long periods can create headaches, possibly ear infections and generally cause a state of nausea for some users.

That’s why it is recommended to use ear pieces, two-way speakers and other solutions whereby you don’t put a phone against your ear for too long.

Accordingly, and due to the fact that WiFi is now becoming widespread - with every home, office and school soon having these WiFi waves flying around- it becomes important to launch scientific studies in the field.

The same people campaigning against mobile phone masts, are the ones suspecting the health impact of wireless computer networks. People defending WiFi say that a WiFi router is really small, use much less power, has a much shorter range, and gives off less radio frequency radiation than an average cell phone tower. Looking at this issue technically reveals that WiFi routers have a peak power output of 100 mW. Compared to most cellphones, which output around 2 W, its makes WiFi look tame.

So far, industry experts and engineers believe that children, and adults, will be perfectly fine in a WiFi covered area, even if they sat straight in front of the wireless router for extended periods.Every electrical appliance in our modern lives emits electromagnetic waves (radiation).

While schools are cracking down on WiFi routers, they’re allowing microwave ovens, cellphones, televisions, portable radios and other electrical devices that may also pose some undefined long-term risk.

Worrying isn’t it? Or maybe there’s nothing to worry about at all. Let’s see some studies that can tell us more. In the meantime, use every electrical gadget or wireless service with moderation and stay tuned!

I don't agree about all this fuss.. you might as well campain against satellites, FM radio, EM waves coming from space.

Cell phones I agree, you put the device to your ear and very close to neurons, which are the most fragile to heat, which EM waves could create.

WiFi is just like regular radio in terms of being in your home.. you have nothing to worry about, unless you put your router under your pillow when you go to sleep.

I'm an EE student, by the way.

I agree with samir...

think also, wireless home landline telephones that use 2.4ghz frequencies can interfere with your router signal; along with microwaves, your fridge, etc

just ban the telephone...

or all electrical devices there of

i DEPEND on wifi for work, school and home for telephone calls and internet access, as well as my video game consoles. I'll take the risk.

Ah good exciting content! Will always come to our attention. To bring you good news-works perfect! The Nike soccer cleats line of Nike football boots will always have a special reverence among football fans who lived through the late 1990's era of football. Arguably the first ever New nike soccer shoes to be designed with a focus on being lightweight (and thus imbuing the player with a speed and agility advantage over their opponents) the Nike mercurial soccer cleats also dared to venture into the use of a synthetic upper to reduce weight, whilst simulating the properties of natural leather.

Wonderful article ah well. Content is real attractive. The way to bring you good news: The Nike Mercurial Superfly features the same characteristics as the old colourways. Directionally positioned blades maximize cutting and allow for quick changes of direction, while secondary toe traction provides added toe-off power for those first critical steps. Collectively, these Mercurial Vapors design details allow greater speed and quickness in all directions. Nike Flywire technology incorporated into the Mercurial Vapor Superfly streamlined upper provides a lightweight, strong and more dynamic fit.
