What other devices emit microwave radiation?
There are many other devices that emit the same radiation as Wi-Fi. These include:
• DECT (digitally enhanced cordless telecommunic-ations) and DECT-style baby monitors. Most of these devices emit
pulsing microwave radiation from their base station (even when the phone is not being used), and are frequently placed
by the bedhead or on the work desk.
• wireless home entertainment systems and game consoles (also known to emit microwaves even when switched off)
• some wireless security/alarm systems
• wireless interactive whiteboards and paging systems.
What should I do to reduce my exposure?
Due to the increasing concerns over the possible hazards from the use of wireless networks (and similar wireless technologies), the best way to reduce your exposure to unnecessary microwave radiation is to use cables wherever possible.
The other advantages of cabled networks are speed (Wi-Fi is slower than wired networks), security (Wi-Fi is insecure – even with WEP or WPA encryption) and reliability (Wi-Fi is often known to drop connections).
If it is not possible to remove your wireless connections, it is advised that you take other precautions:
• do not sit in close proximity to a wireless router (keep it in an unoccupied room if possible)
• turn off any wireless devices at night time while you sleep – as these devices emit microwaves at all times – not just when the device is transmitting data.
• avoid using a wireless laptop on your lap for extended periods of time
• take note of the short-term
health effects – if you notice any symptoms try to remove or reduce your exposure to the wireless device.
