Wi-fi Health Risk?
(01-12-06) - Campaigners have called for parents to remove wireless routers from their homes amid claims that the signals are unsafe.
Some users of the revolutionary routers that remotely connect PCs in offices and homes to the internet have complained to campaigning group ElectroSensitivityUK that the technology makes them ill.
However, Chris Guy, head of Reading University’s School of Systems Engineering told London.co.uk: “The amount of power emitted by wi-fi devices is about a tenth of that given out by mobile phones. It is very, very unlikely that it is harmful because the power levels are so low. I just do not believe wi-fi is damaging people’s health.”
Chris Eagle, BroadbandChoices Consumer Manager added: “Over 25 per cent of broadband users connect via a wireless router (Ofcom, 2006). Complaints, to date, seem to be highly isolated and at odds with medical and technical opinion.
“However, if users are concerned, there are many cost effective wired-routers on the market that allow a household to connect more than one PC to a broadband connection simultaneously.”
