Is it safe to sleep near a wifi router?
« on: 13/09/2018 11:20:52 »
Robyn asks:

"Would you let your child sleep a few meters from a wifi router? Can we be sure it has no effect on the brain or body?"

What do you think? Post an answer below!

It might be dangerous if intruders sneak in to use the Wi Fi otherwise no problem
Up until a few years ago eveyone had a TV or computer monitor ooperating at 25 to 30KV emiting a small amount of Xrays and no one cared, now we have Wi Fi that emits milivolt photons and many people worry

WiFi is a ridiculously low power version of radio, and has no known or conceivable ill-health effects at all.

There is no concrete evidence that exposure to WiFi affects our bodies. In my opinion the effects may be inconsequential but I'd to take reasonable steps to limit exposure.
