National Association for Children and Safe Technology
The Timeline:
February 2013
Concerned Parents saw that Princeton University had a webpage detailing their "New Wireless Safety Study". This “New Study” was from 2007. It was outdated (old research) and inaccurate.
See the Outdated Princeton Website Here.
February 2014
A Parent wrote a letter to the Director of Environmental Health and Safety at Princeton University asking that Princeton take down the outdated and inaccurate information. The letter was substantive and provided strong scientific evidence.
February to June 2014
More Parents, including founders of the National Association For Children and Safe Technology continued to write letters to Princeton University.
August 2014
Princeton took down the site by August 2014.

Thank you Princeton University!
WiFi is not safe. We hope you will take WiFi out of dorm rooms and classes so that students can sleep and study safe every day!
NEW!! See the Position Statement on WiFi Radiation Concerns
"We can reasonably say that the wireless networks present at Princeton University do not present a hazard to persons working or otherwise spending time in University buildings."
The site states that is “New”, yet references research dated 2007. We assume it was “NEW” in 2007.
"The current consensus in the scientific community" ?
The current consensus from the World Health Organization is that "safety is not assured."
The Firestone Library survey averaged the exposure. The intensity of the pulses were not presented and it is this measurement which is critical to understanding human health impacts.
Furthermore, the Firestone measurements do not consider the exposures from several devices in a room in use at a time. A person is exposed to radiation from the router, from the users device and from the devices in use in the environment. None of these exposures were considered in the measurement survey.

These exposure guidelines were developed decades ago and have not been reviewed for 18 years.
Read these reputable studies by reputable scientists:
Interphone
Hardell*
CERENAT
All show increased cancer in highest users after ten years of use.
*Hardell study states that Wireless RF-Radiation is carcinogenic and the classification needs to be urgently revised.
Critical Missing information:
What are the radiation levels that staff and children are exposed to with all access points powered and emitting radiation PLUS when multiple
(30+ in a class) devices are in use in one room?
In addition, this states that notebooks will be at 10 cm away. What about students who rest these devices on their laps (over their reproductive organs) in the hallways and study areas?
These are the critical, real questions that parents want answers to.
