According to recent estimates, Wi-Fi has been installed in
about half of British primary schools and in more than 80
percent of secondary schools.
A scattering of studies around the world have looked into
related EMF-reliant technology such as mobile phones, but
research into the possible dangers of Wi-Fi has been scant.
Critics of the new technology warn that exposing people to
prolonged exposure to EMF may prove catastrophic, and some
have called it the 21st century equivalent of smoking or
passive smoking.
(Ironically, in 2000 health researchers in Britain published
a report examining whether cell phones - viewed as trendy
and addictive - were taking the place of cigarettes for
British youth, and asking whether the fad may turn out to be
the "holy grail" long sought by anti-smoking campaigners.)
Wi-Fi defenders argue that people get more radiation
exposure by watching television, sitting in front of a
computer or even listening to the radio.
A spokeswoman for the British Education Department said
Wednesday that the government based its advice to schools on
the guidelines issued by the Health Protection Agency (HPA),
which does not consider any risk to exist.
The protection agency - an independent body established to
protect the health of citizens against infectious diseases
and hazards including radiation - said in a statement that
it had always pressed for new research into wireless
technology, but denied media reports saying HPA Chairman
William Stewart is opposed to it.
The agency said Stewart was not prepared to "condemn" the
technology, adding that Wi-Fi devices are of very low power,
much lower than mobile phones.
Alasdair Philips, a spokesman for Powerwatch, a citizen
advocacy group, said Wednesday that he believed the decision
to provide Wi-Fi technology in school classrooms was
irresponsible.
"What we're saying is that if this was a new drug, we
wouldn't have it anywhere near the streets," he said. "We'd
have it on trials."
