Re: Plants won't grow near Wi-Fi routers, experiment finds

**<l*@juno.com>**

Here is Princeton University's position statement on the topic, based on
a study designed to measure student exposure
http://web.princeton.edu/sites/ehs/radiation/nirad.htm#WiFi

The Danish "experiment" was not a controlled one. It will be interesting
to see whether their results can be replicated. I have an open mind about
it, but I object to the sensationalism around what appears to be a poorly
controlled experiment.  A double-blind would have been much more
informative and would have been easy to do.

And who in their right mind would sleep with a cell phone next to their
head? That seems very irresponsible of everyone involved.

Regards,
Lois
