Comment on What should you say to a parent scared of Wi-Fi?parent

Sorry, but if you consider a single research paper cited (and sponsored by Wi-Fi Alliance) as a conclusive evidence that Wi-Fi poses no health risk... you're bound for extinction.

The paper doesn't even touch biological effects of EM radiation! It merely states that most APs operate at power levels "below the internationally-recognized RF safety guidelines".

This is exactly what I was talking about.

It contains metareferences to numerous studies, which somehow I doubt were all funded by the wifi group.

If I had ever seen a study that led in any plausible way to the conclusion that it was dangerous, I might start caring about the source, but right now it just isn't an issue. The studies have been done. They have all come up negative. It's time to stop calling for studies in the vain hope that they will prove something that isn't true. If Wifi is dangerous, pack it in, you've only got minutes to live, because you won't believe how dangerous all the bacteria living inside you at this very moment are.

Or do you have some actual study that shows... anything? Anything at all? Or anybody proposing even a faintly plausible mechanism for damage?
