Wifi and health: Perspectives and risks

Abstract

Increased exposure to electromagnetic fi elds such as radio frequencies used by Wifi technology raise questions and concerns about their impact on health. For answer these questions, several scientifi c studies have carried out followed by results publication in prestigious scientifi c revues. Literature conducted on the effects of non-ionizing radiation and Wifi waves is vast and sometimes controversial. Epidemiological studies and the results of in vitro and in vivo experimental studies have showed the biological effects of electromagnetic fi eld in different frequencies range. These effects caused disorders at the molecular and behavioral level. However, these studies were insuffi cient to confi rm the directly related effects to the cause. Therefore, further research must be done to raise the controversy about the safety of wireless waves.
