Are home wireless internet signals bad for your health?

Answer 1

Only if you believe those studies that say that low power EM fields somehow cause cancer. Otherwise, no. If the product was ever proven to be unsafe, either it would have been banned or else there would have been a warning label required (like tobacco).

The U.S. government seems to think that they are safe.

----------------------------
In June 2003, scientists reported findings from a population-based study to evaluate whether exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) is associated with increased risk for breast cancer in Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk counties), N.Y. They did not find an association between exposure to EMFs and increased risk for breast cancer....

---edit----
Government reports and academic reviews:
A review of genotoxicity studies done with power-frequency fields found that 46% of studies found no effects, 22% found evidence for DNA damage and 32% were inconclusive....

Answer 2

dudes LISTEN!, the only true way 2 find out is go 2 Sweden!, they have specialist scientist and, of who all are concerned for the populations health, no governments of politics bullshit is involved, in the uk and USA, y do u think there not banned???, exactly in Sweden its different, there studies have shown that its can be very bad, in the long run, and because this technology is new then well never really know for now, but they DO!. e.g. a school in Sweden, a child complained he felt weird and the local authorities has all the wi-fi things removed immediately, PARANOID? i think not!

Secondly i have beeb sittin right infront of a very powerfull wi-fi router with b/a/g n all that crap and i really couldnt understanf why on earth my memory was getting worse and i lost conentration. Then when my dad was talkin 2 his m8 from sweden , who is a specialist for radio wave technology, he said those symptons are cuased by wi-fi!!!!


i didnt care that FOUR OF THE MY HOUSEHOLD PC'S USED WIRLESS INTERNET!!!, i had it removed straight away, and to be onest i feel much more nergetic now, and am passing exams more easier, seriously!!!!,

ok w.e u can choose 2 believe its all bullshit, but if ure that stuburn then u deserve all the deaseased etc. assosiated with Wi - Fi !!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

even if the waves had sufficient energy to really cause cell damage, the quantity is too small. Generally speaking you get more harmful effects from the sun then you would ever get from most man made wave emmiting objects.

The exception really is nuclear bombs which give off enough radioactive energy to actually cause cell deaths in a very short amount of time. reactors that dont melt down (aka Chernobyls) dont emit enough to really mess with you as long as it is shielded (all are)

realistically it would take so long to see any effects from this kind of wave energy that its not even worth mentioning. you could sit in front of a wireless router 24/7/365 for 50 years and probably would not get cancer from it. of course, noone can really prove why people get cancer, all those studies that are done saying "such and such could cause cancer" are just polls showing that out of 10000 people who (for instance) used cell phones for 50 hours a week, 10 got cancer so it could cause cancer. Heck, Ive seen studies that say if you smoke cigarettes and drink coffee you are less likely to get Alzheimers. I dont take much stock in those studies

Answer 4

I read a story yesterday about 2 chat room participants getting killed by another chat room person. So yes it could be

U got many times more radiation off your local TV station or radio station.

Absolutely Not!
