Wireless products - radiation exposures

http://wiredchild.org/parents/58-which-products-are-most-dangerous.html

This table shows you the strength of radiation emitted by each product. The higher the power level the greater the radiation. Acute vs chronic exposure. The power levels of other technologies all seem much lower but this doesnt mean they are much safer. We are generally exposed to this radiation for much longer periods of time, so the exposure is known as "chronic". The only studies of chronic exposure are the mobile phone mast studies. The key message is that we can all affect our children’s future heal...

But since the Nineties, when their use became more widespread, there have been nagging doubts about their safety. For many people these were resolved two years ago with a report from the Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research Programme. Read more (Daily Mail 3rd November 2009).

Statistics

Could radiation exposure from other wireless technology already be contributing to increasing cancer rates? In general, cancer rates are rising, especially amongst the young. Studies show that secondary exposure to mobile phones, their masts, and wireless technology are linked to a range of cancers, not just those in the head and neck area. Read more about health effects. This could be contributing to the rise in cancers, especially amongst the young. Why don't cancer charities warn us about this risk?
