Hi All,
A colleague has informed me that a TV programme this week covered the topic of illness(headaches) caused by Wi-Fi, did any of you see it? Is there any 'REAL' cause for concern? Or are we dealing with the 'worried well'?
Regards,Paul

Thanks Jon,
That's useful, I also looked on the BBC site to find there is an expert?Richard Westcott, has he published any results/reports?
Regards,Paul

Sorry Paul, I can't help you there. Hopefully some other contributor may know.

From what i can remember of the news report the other day it was basically that if you were in a wi-fi spot for a year it would be equivalent to being on a mobile phone for 20 minutes, i don't know whether that should reassure us all or make us paranoid about using mobiles. I myself cant see what the fuss is about.

I live only 40 miles from a TV transmitter site which has the 2nd highest power output in the UK so perhaps I can sue the BBC for the effects I may suffer from their 1 & 2 television transmissions.
WiFi operates on specific frequenies starting at 2.412GHz, not too far from the 3GHz of S Band radar, the difference here is the WiFi is putting out a couple of watts compared with a radar output in MegaWatts.
Siting is all important when dealing with RF and the WiFi transceiver should be located in position to operate at its optimum. When small cards are fitted into laptops etc then the output is very small and any damage is reflected in not being picked up on the lan.
Perhaps more worrying is the radiation from high power lines running over housing estates where cancer clusters have been noted but no single authority (afaik) has ever accepted the risk.
