One Canadian university thinks so. Lakehead University is limiting WiFi access on their campus because of fears that the electromagnetic forces pose a heath risk to students. We’ve heard this about cell phones, microwaves, iPods and practically every other new technology that becomes widespread. Studies so far are inconclusive but companies obviously need to protect themselves in the event that it is proven that these things are dangerous.
Do the advantages to a campus-wide wireless system outweigh the potential health risks, especially when those risks are not yet medically confirmed?
