The Dangers of Electromagnetic Radiation to Children

We all know that Wi-Fi allows connecting to the internet via microwaves, or Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR).

But did you know that low dosages of EMR for long periods of time could be as hazardous as high dosages of EMR for short periods of time? There's no escape. Look around you, Wi-Fi is everywhere! Wi-Fi enabled homes, schools, offices, cafes, etc, ensure that almost everybody is constantly within range of a constant dose of EMR.

  Too much EMR = bad! Prolonged exposure to radiofrequency and microwave radiation from cell phones, cordless phones, cell towers, Wi-Fi and other wireless technologies has been linked to interference with short-term memory and concentration, sleep disruption, headache and dizziness, fatigue, immune disruption, skin rashes and changes in cardiac function.
  Children are at greater risk. Children have thinner skulls, and their brain and nervous systems are still in development right into late adolescence.
That's why they're more at risk to things like H1N1, and that's why they're more susceptible to EMR.

However,  progress is limited, especially with inadequate and outdated internationally accepted guidelines set in the 1990s still in place.

Malaysia is probably still racing to make sure the country is 100% Wi-Fi enabled.

Is your child being exposed to EMR? See point number 1.

So what can we do to protect children from EMR? For now, we can only go through the trouble of not using Wi-Fi at home, and perhaps asking schools and libraries not to use Wi-Fi as well.
Children should also only use mobile phones in the event of an emergency.
