Introduction: WiFi and its prevalence
WiFi has become an integral part of modern life, with most households and public spaces providing access to wireless internet. The convenience and accessibility of WiFi have made it an essential technology for work, education, and communication. However, as the use of WiFi continues to grow, concerns have been raised about its potential impact on human health.
The Science behind WiFi radiation
WiFi uses radiofrequency (RF) radiation to transmit information between devices. RF radiation is a type of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, which means it does not have enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules. Other common sources of non-ionizing radiation include cell phones, microwaves, and radios. While high levels of ionizing radiation, such as X-rays, can cause damage to DNA and increase the risk of cancer, the potential health effects of non-ionizing radiation are less clear.
