BAWUG readers: I roped you into this socalwug
thread because I wanted to hear what you all would say.
read the email below to find out what I am
responding to...
this is so sad.
it is an absolute load that people are actually
able to make their way into a court to talk about something like
this.
"substantial body of evidence".
what are they talking about?
there isn't a fact in this supporting these
claims.
it is absolute slander.
tests quite to the contrary have indicated that RF
is 100% harmless.
they have done studies with rats and RF and they
used signals thousands of times stronger than those emitted by your Waps and
they couldn't prove it even gave the rats headaches.
this kind of suggestion is just silly and should
those spewing it should be forced to produce evidence or shut up.

Subject: [SOCALWUG] Parents sue school
over WLAN's health effects on children
I reliable source forwarded this to
me:
"Parents in
Oak Park, Illinois, have launched a class action lawsuit against
the local
school board for threatening the health of children by installing
WLAN
technology in classrooms. The lawsuit alleges that Oak Park
Elementary
School District 97 has "ignored the substantial body of evidence
that high
frequency electro-magnetic radiation poses substantial and
serious health
risks, particularly to growing children." It accuses school
authorities of
failing to "adequately examine and assess the potential
health risks that
wireless LANs pose to humans, particularly children who
are still growing."
The suit argues that "there is a substantial and
growing body of scientific
literature studying and outlining the serious
health risks that exposure to
low intensity, but high radio frequency (RF)
radiation poses to human
beings, particularly children...[and that]
prolonged exposure to low
intensity RF radiation can break down DNA
strands, cause chromosome
aberrations and break down the blood-brain
barrier, thereby permitting toxic
proteins to invade the brain." For more
than two years now I have argued
that health concerns are a future sleeper
issue which would come to the fore
as WLANs become more pervasive. It
appears that the future is here."
