Re: Parental fear of Wi-Fi in schools is unfounded, Letters, May 15

Wi-Fi uses the same frequency, not bandwidth as a microwave oven, 2.45 Ghz, with lower power density.

The frequency of cosmic background radiation (CBR) peaks in the microwave frequency range of 160.2 Ghz with a shorter wavelength than Wi-Fi.

Microwave ovens do not run 24 hours a day. The beacon signal from a Wi-Fi network radiates 24/7 at full power to broadcast the name of the Wi-Fi network.

Comparing Wi-Fi to cosmic background radiation is like comparing apples to oranges. Humans have adapted to low levels of natural CBR over millenia.

Sir William Stewart, biologist and former head of the British Health Protection Agency, stated in May 2007 on BBC's Panorama that the rollout of Wi-Fi in schools should stop until heath testing is done.

Cardiologist Dr. Stephen Sinatra, former chief of cardiology at Manchester Memorial Hospital, has written to school districts warning that Wi-Fi can cause the hearts of some children to go out of rhythm - what he calls "undiagnosed ventricular tachycardia."
Dr. David Carpenter, a Harvard-educated public health physician at University of Albany New York has spoken out very strongly against Wi-Fi.

It sounds to me like all parents have much to be concerned about.
