I am most likely being an overprotective parent but since the birth of our newborn, my wife and I have been wondering about credible studies dealing with Wi-Fi and health concerns. I love my Wi-Fi, it's the cornerstone to all my gadgets and computer setup through out my house, and it makes my world easier plain and simple, but having a newborn enter that world changes the way I think about everything.
Now before people start writing that Wi-Fi is safe because they use it in hospitals and schools, let me be clear, I'm aware of all that, but the idea of having it 24/7 for years to come around this little person that is our responsibility to look out for makes me want to have a definitive answer to the subject.
I will put on my tin foil hat and await for some well thought out/educated answers.
37Is weird nobody has linked the Skeptics question about this matter. – Braiam – 2014-02-19T01:16:15.510
I've cleared up some discussion here. Comments aren't meant for that. If you want to discuss the technical matters of this question, please go to [chat]. If you have a claim to make, post it in an answer and back it up with facts and references. – slhck – 2014-02-19T10:57:17.143
8This would be on topic at [skeptics.se], [biology.se], [physics.se] but it is completely off topic here. The question has nothing whatsoever to do with computers or their usage and computer experts are not qualified to answer it. – terdon – 2014-02-19T13:23:25.927

@terdon It would be on-topic at Parenting as well.
– Beofett – 2014-02-19T13:43:33.3335To those voting to close with the reason that the question "is on topic on Skeptics". Yes, it is, but that doesn't mean it's off topic here. Don't seek to migrate good and interesting questions away from the site. The question has something to do with computer technology everyone of us uses daily. For discussing the topicality of this question, [Meta] is the place to go. – slhck – 2014-02-19T14:44:37.487
1@slhck I voted to close and selected that reason cause it was already there, bad call, sorry. As for being on-topic, the health risks of WiFi are not in the site's scope. Had the Q been about the technical side, it might have been on topic (though only barely since there is no specific issue here and nothing related to computers). As it stands, this is a question about either human physiology or radiowaves and has nothing to do with computers. It is indeed an interesting question, just off topic. – terdon – 2014-02-19T16:11:27.980
