View Original AbstractUK school Wi-Fi devices emit 5-29 milliwatts of power with exposures well below thermal safety limits at normal distances.
Plain English Summary
Researchers from the UK Health Protection Agency measured radiofrequency radiation levels from Wi-Fi devices actually used in schools, including laptops and wireless access points. They found that all devices emitted very low power levels (5-29 milliwatts) and produced radiation exposures well below international safety guidelines at distances of 0.5 meters or more. This study provides real-world data on how much Wi-Fi radiation students and teachers are actually exposed to in school environments.
Study Details
Laboratory measurements have been carried out with examples of Wi-Fi devices used in UK schools to evaluate the radiofrequency power densities around them and the total emitted powers.
Unlike previous studies, a 20 MHz bandwidth signal analyzer was used, enabling the whole Wi-Fi signa...
