My son-in –law works for the MOD ensuring that sailors on navy ships do not get fried by the huge amount of microwaves emitted by the various radars and other transmission equipment on the vessels.

 

I would estimate that he has more wireless technology in his household than most libraries and schools.  If he thinks it’s safe it’s good enough for me.  (Not very scientific, I know, but possibly another nail in the coffin of this story.)

Subject: WiFi and risk to children

 

There has been some debate on the safety of public WiFi in schools sparked off by a BBC Panorama programme on dangers to children from a range of devices including mobile phones and WiFi.  There does not seem to have been any official health survey or advice on this but some schools in the UK and abroad have stopped public WiFi.

We would be interested to hear from anyone who has come across this, has any views or, indeed, has taken any action as a result.

Many thanks,
Catherine
