BS.

2.4Ghz radiation, at the levels produced by most computers and other devices, is non-ionizing.

Also, note the source - local news = most likely wrong.

I was interviewed by a local news station talking about wireless network security a few years ago, and the final produced piece took what I said totally out of context, to the point that it was no longer valid.


I would be interested in the following:

- does it have to be a laptop? what if there is a WiFi router in my room?

- does the device needs to be on my lap? is it safe to have it on the table?

- does it only make the sperms less mobile or does it corrupt the DNA?


Did they have a control group who used laptops without wifi enabled/available? This wreaks of BS...
