The BBC has announced that the Health Protection Agency is going to begin a systematic research program on how WiFi is used. The goal of this study is to determine how WiFi is being used and the possible radiation exposure that results from such use.
Spokesmen from the HPA believe that the study will confirm the safety of using WiFi, but feel that since England’s Chief Medical Officer suggested children limit their non-essential cell phone use due to potential exposure to radiation that a study into the radition emmissions of WiFi was the next logical step.
Results of the study will be publicly available, but officials reinforce their belief that WiFi is safe.

I find it hard to believe that emissions from WiFi are stronger than that of mobile phone masts. If they are not stronger then why bother spending money doing the research. TV masts surely kick out more wattage but they are safe. Aren’t they?
No matter what the results are from any investigation into the biological effects of radio energy are on the human body, whether it’s cell phone, wifi, TV masts or whatever, the results will be that it’s safe.
After all if there was any proof that radio energy is harmful then all of the emergency services and armed services would stop using their radio equipment.
Or am I being cynical
