City in Illinois has Wi-Fi naysayers over health: All you need to know about this article is the following. Naperville Wi-Fi opponent states, "In a town in Sweden, there were so many hospital calls when the WiMax system was activated that the entire country has since eliminated all Wi-Fi systems." Swedish embassy contacted by reporter: Not true; Sweden is expanding WiMax. Opponent: "That’s what I was told."
I received some rather angry email the last time I suggested that EMF used in Wi-Fi doesn't cause ill health effects. I think I've come up with a formulation to explain my position: Love the afflicted, hate their reasoning. I've been trying to make clear that I don't think people--such as this executive profiled in this Daily Mail article--are making this stuff up. Rather, the preponderance of evidence would suggest that ill health that manifests itself so strongly probably has a cause other than EMF because of the prevalence of EMF.
We put up a Muni Sponsored FREE WiFi Hot Spot Zone in downtown Highland Park, IL last June and came across the same issue. This was at the same time that Nextel was trying to put light pole level repeaters in and the naysayers were afraid of the radiation. They were same naysayers that had their blackberry on their belt, their Nextel phone on the other hip with a bluetooth adapter in their ear. When we made the comparison of what we are doing versus all the Rf in the world they already have including the microwave, baby monitor, wireless router in their house they realized that their concerns were irrelevant
