Kingstree, SC | What a bunch of BS! In the US alone i haven't heard of a case of WiFi Health risks at all, hell you go to a McDonald's and Wifi is installed as you munch on your burger! i think some canucks up there is taking the issue too far out of hand, don't get me wrong i am sure there could be some device that may be out of their respected spectrum and out of safe levels but that can't be based on that ALL RFI/EMI or other devices is the same. other wise, get rid of satellite's in space, cell phone towers, satellite's dishes, and cell phones and cordless phone and go back to the stone age! |

There are a number of my (idiotic) fellow canucks who do want that. They believe they suffer healthwise from too much RF in the air, more specifically due to the RF generated by the cell phone towers. In Toronto, there are no very few, if no, dead spots where a signal cannot get to - plus these towers are littered all over apartment building roofs.
The point of their complaints is that not enough research has been done on this subject, and they are looking to push Health Canada into doing a thorough study.
But to be fair, just because no study has found any higher than normal cellular or DNA degradation due to higher than normal RF in the air does not mean it is not happening. If it is - tinfoil shielding just MAY be the way to go.  |

Canada, QC | I recently became an uncle and love my niece dearly. I was shocked to hear that 50% of all children born today will die of cancer... It's been argued that being exposed to more chemicals, at a higher concentration and earlier in life would contribute to this sad fact. These are concentrations judged "normal" or "acceptable" according to north-american laws and standards... Couldn't the recent increase in RF radiation (last 10 to 20 years) contribute to the demise of our health without us knowing it?
Recent medical developments having contributed to elongate life expectancy, could possibly have masked the effects of "modern" life on our life expectancy and health... Who knows really. Really!
Having said that, I still think banning Wifi is ridiculous. It's an insignificant drop in the bucket. |

I hope they don't have any Wal-Mart/K-Mart/Target/Circuit City/RadioShack/(insert storename here) in their town either. They have been using wireless devices for inventory, as well as electromagnetic anti-theft countermeasures, and not to mention the Laser Radiation emitted from the bar code scanners onto the cashier. How about those radar guns the cops use on the highway, or the ones the truck weighing stations use. What about the automated speed checkers mounted to street signs. I will stop now, because this list could go on forever. I wish people would stop trying to blame the world for their loss. |
