Abstract

The article focuses on a report released in September 2008, based on 10 years of research by the World Health Organization (WHO) on supposed health risks related to the use of wireless communication systems. The WHO found that non-ionising radiation from wireless routers varies between just 0.002 per cent and two per cent of international safe-exposure guidelines. The radiation that users are exposed to, from Wi-Fi stations is less than 20 per cent of that produced by standard FM radio and television signals. In other words, the amount of radiation emitted by Wi-Fi is small enough to be almost negligible, and poses no threat.
