No tinfoil hats needed?
Posted by: eusty on Saturday, December 01, 2007 - 07:30 PM
Wi-Fi

Remember that Wi-Fi was revealed as a major heath hazard and users were digging out their tinfoil hats, well it seems (unsurprisingly) that things were a bit exaggerated.

Back in May on the Panorama programme Wi-fi: A Warning Signal, fears were raised that Wi-Fi was more dangerous than mobile phones and caused many schools to rethink their wireless policies.

Well after two complaints by viewers the beebs Editorial Complaints Unit (ECU)  decided to have a look at the claims, the results are that the programme had given an unbalanced impression of scientific opinion and that Wi-Fi installations give off a higher level of radiation than mobile phone masts was wrongly suggested.
Even one contributor to the show, Professor Michael Repacholi, said that the scientific issues had been presented in an unbalanced way and that the treatment of his own contribution had been unfair.

So it's safe to remove those hats now.
