"Scientists in the UK at the Health Protection Agency (HPA) recently completed a research project on wireless local area networks (WLAN).  The HPA issued a press release which was reported by Medical News Today on September 15, 2009.  Dr Simon Mann presented the team's findings and is quoted as saying, "Our findings are consistent with the HPA position that exposures to the radio waves from Wi-Fi equipment are expected to be well within internationally-accepted exposure guidelines and less than levels from mobile phones."
 
Simon's statement is designed to elicit the belief that Wi-Fi is safe, yet being within some randomly set exposure guideline does not in any way guarantee safety or lack of human health effects.  Andrew Goldsworthy BSc PhD, a retired lecturer in biology at the Imperial College London explains why."
