That wil not deter a lawyer.

Bear traps and pepper spray doesn't deter lawyers. Ho ho ho.

Has anyone actually managed to prove a case of EHS?

Well clearly the school officials would not turn off WiFi based on the parent's claims. There is a massive amount of litigation about diseases transmitted by electromagnetic waves. Everything from cell phones to high powered overhead lines.

Having worked with these types of questions, any form of energy will cause biological damage if it is strong enough and you receive a long enough exposure or a high enough ratio of on time to off time. You can always find an experiment that proves biological damage. But it is invariably at exposure levels that are way above routine. The questions always revolve around the statistical variation from human to human.

Working hi voltage regularly, the mag strip in my credit cards would cancel out about every 2 to 3 months and I had to replace them.

Luckily, you aren't a credit card.

Wireless signals are about .035 W at the source and fall of drastically with distance. Your computers output of wireless is probably more dangerous especially if using a laptop or tablet. All are well within safety margins by factors of hundreds.

Being the UK the girls house likely had several relatively close neighbours. There was likely several Wi-Fi signals still within range even if it was turned off in her own place.

I'm more like an atm for the doctors. : )

Until maybe 10 years ago, it wasn't often to find a power lineman that reached the ripe old age of 70.

Part of it was attributed to the lifestyle drinking/smoking, but also there was a pretty extreme exposure to cable cleaners that can't even be purchased today.

Also the guys nearly bathed in PCB's, working in transformers. The weed killer put in substations lasted for years without nary a weed popping through?

There were many study's done on exposure to hi voltage. We have all seen the helicopter cowboys climbing out of a chopper onto a 345 line.

The Russians quit working million volts live citing the workers as becoming sterile, and increased rates of cancer.

Watch the powerlines. You will see birds landing on distribution wires. You don't see them land or stay on transmission wires that are energized. They fly up to the wire with intent to land and when they reach the emf field, they fly away. I have a transmission line at my back property line, when the birds land I can tell the line is switched off, when it is on the birds act like they hit an invisible force field [haha], which they did.

I saved my breate-rite strip from last night to experiment with.

It works best with 3 of the plastic strips. You
might need 2 used ones to get 3 strips.

All jobs open to women in the military.

Quote:

“There will be no exceptions,” Carter said. “This means that, as long as they qualify and meet the standards, women will now be able to contribute to our mission in ways they could not before.”

Carter said that top leaders in the Army, Navy, Air Force and U.S. Special Operations Command all recommended that all jobs be opened to women. The Marine Corps recommended that certain jobs such as machine gunner be kept closed, but the secretary said that the military is a joint force, and his decision will apply to everyone. The top Marine officer who made that recommendation, Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, became chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in September, and did not appear alongside Carter on Thursday.

I believe there is an effect up close with powerful fields, completely, of course. Repeated and long term phone use can be damaging, I'm sure. But sitting in a 'bath' of lower powered wi-fi? I'm hugely skeptical.
