Articles yesterday in the British press raised again concerns relating to the hazards arising from DECT phones and their continuous microwave emissions.
Should similar concerns apply to a home with several WiFi routers in, 'pumping out' 2.4GHz 24/7??
And the sky might fall on our heads - some folk just aren't happy without something to worry about.... :-) It's even funnier when you see some chain smoker complaining about mobile phone masts - clueless...

Crivvens. The articles probably appeared in the National Enquirer and the Sunday Sport.
Similar concerns should indeed exist. Which is fine, since the sensible concerns level for DECT phones is zero.
But if it worries you, wear a tinfoil hat... :-)

Uh-uh! Some folks at MIT (iirc) actually researched the effects of tinfoil hats on radio waves. They found that you got higher energy levels _under_ the tinfoil hat than you did if you didn't use one :-)

Eeek - aluminium foil? Alzheimers, no?! ;-)
I'd love to work somewhere that gets grants to do this sort of research. I mean ,can you imagine the application form, or the interview board? :-)
Mark McIntyre
Only if you eat the hat,
Which is perfectrly reasonable I guess......
Mark McIntyre
This makes sense .. the "hat" is a parabolic reflector.. it concentrates the radio waves into your head... nice
I'm sure they did it on their own time :-) Also, iirc, they actually tested tin vs aluminum foil. I can't remember how that worked out.
Very tongue in cheek.

On the Effectiveness of Aluminium Foil Helmets: An Empirical Study
LOL. Thanks for the link - I just knew about this from a radio interview.
I would like to have seen the presentation for the budget for this
