From about 5 or 6 feet away from where my head is when I sleep, my wireless router is on the floor against my radiator in my bedroom. Do you think that like cell phones these waves can be harmful? Should I be worried at all?What is the radiation comparative to from this distance? A cell phone? Or not as bad?
No you shouldn't worry. The energy of the EM waves are not that high to cause harm.They are two types of radiation: Ionizing and Non-Ionizing...Ionizing damages the body by damaging DNA by ionization or creating free radical reations.Non-Ionizing radiation damages the body by heating/burning it. Wireless routers and cell phones are non-ionizing and their fields are so weak and small. You would need hell of alot to have any heating effect whatsoever.
