Posted by easy eco blog, March 5th, 2010

EMFacts has a nice flyer with health tips concerning Wireless networks or Wi-fi. With the advents of Wi-fi, Cell phone signals, Alarm systems, Wireless utility meters, consumers are getting bombarded with more and more radiation.
Some common sense tips they recommend:
- Do not sit in close proximity to a wireless router (keep it in an unoccupied room if possible)
- Turn off any wireless devices at night time while you sleep – as these devices emit microwaves at all times – not just when the device is transmitting data
- Avoid using a wireless laptop on your lap for extended periods of time
- Take note of the short-term health effects – if you notice any symptoms
- Try to remove or reduce your exposure to the wireless devices
A recent news report about some parents in Canada are blaming their children’s illnesses on the wireless Internet routers installed in their schools, is adding fuel to the debate.
