Smart Meter Letter to Newspaper - May 23, 2013 [Surrey, BC] Children’s sensitivity to Wi-Fi warrants caution by A. Churchill - The Vancouver Sun - May 23, 2013: - vancouversun/opinion/letters/Children+sensitivity+warrants+caution/8421693/story.html Re: Parental fear of Wi-Fi in schools is unfounded, Letters, May 15 [- vancouversun/technology/Parental+fear+schools+unfounded/8387207/story.html] A teenage relative of mine once bought a cool cellphone, even though he knew it could make him sick. He is EMF-sensitive, and microwave transmissions make him headachy, agitated and spacey. It was OK, he said, as long as he kept it in airplane mode; and the cell helped make him feel more like one of the crowd. Young people are driven to keep up with the latest trends and these days that means wireless technology. Unfortunately, the American Academy of Pediatrics and other medical authorities are concerned that children are also especially sensitive to all electromagnetic fields because their developing nervous systems are fragile, their brain tissues more conductive, and their smaller skeletons more easily penetrated by microwaves. Warnings from researchers, doctors, professors and government agencies that microwave radiation is potentially harmful to children have so far been drowned out by a multibillion-dollar Wi-Fi marketing machine. Parents must decide whether and how much Wi-Fi to use at home, but how many kids have to get sick before we follow the lead of many European countries and take responsible measures to reduce EMR exposure in our schools?
