Re: Doesn't it take years to come up with any data

said by HardwareGeek See Profile :

Most health studies I read about take 10 to 20 years. So I doubt there will be any data anytime soon proving or disproving that wi-fi is a health risk.
There have been studies done on non-ionizing radiation for decades and no proof has been found yet that "low power devices" can do any harm. While WiFi is relatively new, it isn't significantly different from other similar devices that have been used for decades.

Here is a good easy to understand web page on the issues of non-ionizing radiation and potential hazards. »www.hko.gov.hk/radiation/tidbit/···ss_e.htm

But you are right, in that if you want to rule out WiFi specifically, studies will take a very long time to provide definite lack of harm.

Re: Doesn't it take years to come up with any data

Cell phones have been in use long enough that if there is, for example, a 10-year latency period for health effects, we should start seeing mass effects soon, if there will be any.

As you emphasize, most studies have not found short-term harmful effects from low-power sources. High power sources are known to be harmful (this is why a microwave oven is required to be sealed when in operation, for example).

Study of high-power sources and of long-term effects has been hindered by conflicts of interest. See for example, »globalresearch.ca/index.php?cont···aid=7025
