AURORA, ON, Jan. 19, 2012 /CNW/ - Another school has removed its Wifi, following warnings that the system
emits potentially harmful microwave radiation.
"Schools are in the business of helping children, not hurting them so we
shouldn't be taking chances," said Brenda Glashan, principal of the
Aurora Montessori School, a private elementary school of 350 students
north of Toronto.
Last May the World Health Organization warned that radiation from WiFi,
cell phones and other wireless devices may cause cancer. Researchers
have since reported that WiFi from laptop computers causes damage to
human sperm.
Several Ontario private schools have since removed their wifi systems,
but many public schools continue to install them despite the health
warnings.
Aurora Montessori school is known for its advanced computer lab, and now
hardwires all of its internet connections.
