Re: Health effects from wireless LAN in schools
Your report about the health effects from
wireless LAN in schools contains erroneous information. For example, it states
that "FCC standards are not outdated." In fact, FCC standards do not consider
the effects of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) emitted by WiFi on children or pregnant women (including
pregnant teachers). While the FCC does
not recognize that children absorb radiation differently than adults, since children's skulls are thinner
and smaller than adult skulls, the U.S.
Air Force does recognize this difference: Roach,
FCC standards do not consider the effects
of exposure to RFR from Wi-Fi emitted in a building with metal roofing (such as
many schools have). Meanwhile, in the
IEEE's June 23, 2015 issue of Spectrum, Dr. Om
Gandhi, professor of electrical engineering at the University of Utah, has served as Co-chair of IEEE's SCC 28.IV
Subcommittee on RF Safety Standards
(1988-97) and as Chair of IEEE's Committee on Man and Radiation (COMAR) 1981-82, published,
"Yes the children are more exposed
to radio-frequency energy from mobile telephones than adults." In this
peer-reviewed paper, Dr. Gandhi writes that "it is very hard to understand why" the FCC's safety
guidelines only consider the head of a mannequin whose size is in the 90th
percentage of US military recruits.

In a lecture reporting on peer-reviewed
literature, "Children, Radiation and Health," British MD Dr. Erica
Mallery-Blythe outlines the effects of
RFR exposure on children: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNFdZVeXw7M
Further, to avoid Electronic Screen
Syndrome and addiction to technology (different from RFR exposure), children
need to learn how to regulate their use
of electronic devices.
Your school system has the opportunity to
develop safer practices: to hard-wire computer use; help children recognize when they need
eye-to-eye conversation or
non-electronic activities. I urge you to serve as a model for the
country and to develop practices that encourage safe use of technology.
