[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's just dumb to call the poster concerned about wifi radiation on growing children crazy, there are constantly studies being funded as the grown of this industry and the speed of technology moves so fast, it is truly unknown whether there will be long term health problems associated with wifi everywhere.  In fact, some countries and cities in the US (starting on the west coast of course) are promoting "wi-FREE" zones in hotels, cafes, etc…  All that being said, the greatest risks come from regular use of cell phones, and kids shouldn't put them against their heads (and neither should we, it says so in your i-phone or smartphone instructions when you buy one! ).  For now, it seems as if the progressive state of Washington has taken the cause seriously, and here's a link to a study from Jan. 2014.  As for too much focus on technology, at WIS every MS student is mandated to use i-pads in most classes and for homework, even take them on field trips.  We need to help our kids embrace technology and learn to use it well, it's something WIS is doing a great job with and DCI is on the same track.  http://www.doh.wa.gov/Portals/1/Documents/4100/WiFiSafety_Jan2014_DraftFinal.pdf[/quote]

No, it's not dumb to call people who keep recycling discredited claims crazy.  And it seems you did not read the document you linked to.  The conclusion was that there is no evidence that low level RF is harmful. Period.

"The work group reviewed every comprehensive scientific review performed by national or international health agencies, and published in English since 2000. The consensus conclusion of these 16 documents was that there is no clear and consistent evidence that low levels of RF fields, such as produced by Wi-Fi equipment, have any adverse health effects in humans."[/quote]
