uses low power radio signals to connect a laptop, tablet computer, smartphone or other device to a computer network. This may be in a
home or office, or though so-called “wireless hot-spots” in cafes, airports and
other locations. There are several
factors about the technology which result in very low exposures:
Tests
in New Zealand and many other countries have shown that exposures from WiFi access
points and laptops in classrooms during lessons are brief, and tiny fractions of the permitted
exposure limits. On this basis, schools would
be best advised to concentrate on other areas for promoting health and safety. How
can I reduce my exposures to WiFi signals? Although
the health research and low exposures suggest that there is no need to reduce
exposures to WiFi signals, it is simple to do so if you wish:
