This article from The Idaho Observer discusses the negative health impacts of radiation for cell phone towers -- negative impacts also associated with the municipal Wi-Fi networks proposed or already built in cities across the country.
"The Federal Communications Act (1996) made it virtually impossible for communities to stop construction of cell towers -even if they pose threats to public health and the environment. Since the decision to enter the age of wireless convenience was politically determined for us, we have forgotten well-documented safety and environmental concerns and, with a devil-may-care zeal that is lethally short-sighted, we have incorporated into our lives every wireless toy that comes on the market as quickly as it becomes available. We behave as if we are addicted to radiation. Our addiction to cell phones has led to harder 'drugs' like wireless Internet. And now we are bathing in the radiation that our wireless enthusiasm has financed."
"Five decades of studies confirm that non-ionizing communications radiation in the RF/microwave spectrum has the same effect on human health as ionizing gamma wave radiation from nuclear reactions. Leading German radiation expert Dr. Heyo Eckel, an official of the German Medical Association, stated, 'The injuries that result from radioactive radiation are identical with the effects of electromagnetic radiation. The damages are so similar that they are hard to differentiate.'"
"Understanding what happened at Likely Mountain is critical to understanding the public health threat posed by radiation in the United States."
"The city of San Francisco, with an area of only seven square miles, has over 2,500 licensed cell phone antennas positioned at 530 locations throughout the city. In practical terms, this city, like thousands of others, is being wave-nuked 24 hours a day."
