Radiation from wireless internet antennas

A situation like that is simply impossible to sweep under the rug.
Nick Naylor: Gentlemen, practice these words in front of the mirror: Although we are constantly exploring the subject, currently there is no direct evidence that links cell phone usage to brain cancer.There is also a basic lesson in antenna physics: antennas aren't designed to beam their maximum radiation straight down at the ground, because that would be completely illogical. The peak radiation intensity is distributed in the shape of a torus. Think of it like a lighthouse. It doesn't aim its light directly at the base of the tower; it casts its beam out toward the horizon. This design, combined with mounting the equipment on a high structure, ensures broad coverage. In reality, the signal is actually at its weakest directly beneath the antenna.
And that’s why people are constantly jumping around while they're talking on their phones.
It’s not as if anyone would ever dream of placing an antenna on a tall building, because then it might tilt downward and "illuminate" a larger surface area, potentially hitting the phones held by pedestrians passing by, right?
On topic:
As Nick mentioned, there is currently no evidence, nor does anyone have the slightest desire to find any. If someone were to actually stumble upon definitive proof, the mobile industry would simply commission a handful of three-month studies within two weeks that conclude nothing is certain.
And that researcher would most likely find themselves unemployed.
maybe they're from Australia and got kicked by a kangaroo... 😬 anyway, we basically live in a universe where 90% of energy is electromagnetic. It's enough to say that our sight, hearing, and even all our other senses operate on the principle of electromagnetic energy 🙂 (Brian Green - space fabric). if that energy actually caused cancer, we would have all dropped dead a long time ago... 🙂
