Wi-Fi "Allergies" Prompt Calls for Ban
There have been a number of studies on sensitivity to electromagnetic fields (EMF). Of course, the research has been controversial, but agencies including the National Institutes of Health and the National Cancer Institute have acknowledged the potential hazards of long-term exposure to strong EMF, and have done studies on the association of cancer risks with living near high-voltage utility lines.
It's even been posited that the EMF from a hybrid engine, such as in a Prius, could have health risks. A group in Santa Fe, New Mexico has requested a ban on wi-fi in public buildings because they say they’re allergic --- or sensitive --- to wireless Internet signals. ____________ Source: Tech-Ex |

I'm allergic to pollenating trees, do I call city council and ask them to cut down all the trees?
