Safety

The World Health Organization (WHO) says "there is no risk from low level, long-term exposure to wi-fi networks" and the United Kingdom's Health Protection Agency reports that exposure to Wi-Fi for a year results in the "same amount of radiation from a 20-minute mobile phone call."
A small percentage of Wi-Fi users have reported adverse health issues after repeat exposure and use of Wi-Fi,[62] though there has been no publication of any effects being observable in double-blind studies. A review of studies involving 725 people that claimed electromagnetic hypersensitivity found no evidence for their claims.
One study claims, in preliminary results, that "laptops (Wi-Fi mode) on the lap near the testicles may result in decreased male fertility". Another small sample study (15 males and 15 females) found a decrease in the P300 event-related potential (ERP) for male but not female subjects while engaging in a working memory oriented linguistic task during Wi-Fi exposure.
