Thanks for all the advice guys... Lots to consider.

Re Wi Fi.... Yes it is everywhere. Which is precisely why kids should be given a break from it at school. It is microwave radiation mixed with High frequency radio waves. Who knows what damage they will do in the long term.

France, Germany, Russia and Israel have banned Wi Fi in schools and lots of schools in England and Scandinavian countries have also chosen cabled internet only.

Most people don't think about it. But the research ( coming out of Sweden manly is very concerning)

It just drives me crazy that Australia are rolling it out everywhere. When it hasn't been proven totally safe. And schools should be protected as kids are more vulnerable to radiation than we are.

Anyway. I'm looking at Manly West currently. The school seems good too. No Wi Fi. Lol
:)

There is strong research both for and against. But that is all it is. Research not proof. My point is that whilst the jury is still out. People should air on the side of caution. Especially where children are concerned. And if countries like Israel, Germany France and Russia have gathered enough evidence to ban WiFi in there schools. It has to make you stop and think. Governments don't make decisions like that on a win. And these countries have some of the best scientists on the world. Children are very vulnerable to EMR's. so they should be given a break from it. Instead they are more than likely exposed at home. And then 5 days a week for 6 hrs a day. It is so unnecessary. When cabled Internet is all you really need at school.

There is no need to be sarcastic. I am merley expressing a concern. In 10 or 20 years time. Who is to say what the effects may be. Some times we just feel strongly about certain things. But we all make choices in our lives to minimise the dangers. Of course we can't live in a danger free world. But unnecessary risk seems like a no brainer to me. After all what choice do the kids have in all this. Nobody even asks the parents permission. I really hope my concerns are unwarranted. But so many other countries do not think so.

Re: WHO classifying as carcinogen

The WHO haven't classified WIFI (low level EMR) as a carcinogen. In fact they say there is no evidence that it is. It's a common misreading of their statement they made. They put EMR's in the group of things that are open to further study so funding can be allocated...grouped with things like coffee.

From WHO statement: "...Current evidence does not confirm the existence of any health consequences from exposure to low level electromagnetic fields."

Re: microwave




See the chart in post above for the difference in power between WiFi and microwaves. Wifi is less powerful than radio which we have had for 100 years.

Re: blood brain study:

"Dr. Havas cites one such study that she says showed mobile phone signals break down the blood brain barrier. In fact, this study was a single in-vitro (petri dish) experiment, and the authors only hypothesized that one potential effect might be to increase the blood brain barrier permeability. In other words, nobody has ever observed such an effect. (my emphasis)

Interesting topic, but a bit of a derailing of your thread...maybe we should move it if you have more general Brisbane school stuff to ask ?
