The chairman of Britain's Health Protection Agency, Sir William Stewart, is calling for the health risks of wireless internet or WiFi to be investigated. Stewart is particularly concerned about health of children who are more vulnerable to radiation.
The radiation from mobile phones and WiFi systems are very similar. Unlike phone radiation WiFi exposes everyone in the immediate area. Research coming out of Europe is raising questions about the long term safety of mobile phones.
Stewart is not alone in his concerns. The Austrian Medical Association is calling for a ban on WiFi in schools, a university in Ontario refused to install WiFi due to health concerns and a school in Illinois has been sued over its WiFi system.
