What are the current key issues of wireless effecting health?
I need to do a report about whether wireless technology affects health. What are the current key issues regarding this matter?
Thanks!
Other than at extreme powers, like in a microwave or standing in front of a military radar, they don’t…
The surface of the Earth receives around 1000W of electromagnetic radiation per square metre on a clear day, here in England (and over 1500W at the equator).
Human being have evolved under these conditions.
The idea that the trivial power levels from WiFi gear and mobile phones can affect people is ludicrous.
Another big myth relates to things like cellphone base stations, because they do use high powers.
Many people don’t understand the ‘inverse square law’ which applies to the strength of EM radiation at a distance.
Whatever the power at 1m from the antennas, at 10m it’s 1/100th as strong, at 100m it’s 1/10,000 as strong and so on. At 100m from the tower, the weedy signal from your phone in your hand will be far stronger than the big cell base transmitter…
The list goes on, but it’s all down to panicmongering and misunderstandings.
