Wi-Fi; Bad for Trees


Wi-Fi one of the amazing device we all uses for wireless access of network. Its almost in all places now. Routers are so cheap these days and everyone is buying it to get rid of the wires and for multiple access of the network. But, now it’s the time for realization.

Results from a preliminary study by DU Delft University, Wageningen University, and other institutions in the Netherlands show that Wi-Fi radiation may be harmful to trees. The study finds that Wi-Fi radiation may cause bleeding and fissures in tree barks, and these incidents were not attributed to virus or bacteria, and that 70% of trees in urban spaces now show signs of damage compared to just 10% five years ago. The study finds that trees located nearest to Wi-Fi radiation exhibited a lead-like shine on the leaves and death of leaves’ lower and upper epidermises.

Radiation from Wi-Fi is also said to inhibit growth of corn cobs, though more work needs to be done to truly isolate the cause of these symptoms to Wi-Fi radiation and not just particulate pollution in the air. For now, just be careful where you use those Wi-Fi hotspots, as tempting as it is to work outside in a park on a nice day. Thank you for reading!
