Is It WIFI Bad for Health?

The imminent arrival of the free and open wifi network to Seixalbo parish has raised concern in a group of residents of this rural town in the capital of Ourense. Delighted with the municipal measure to provide free Internet access, are more critical of the location chosen by the local government for the installation of an antenna wifi signal repetition.

According indicates a group neighbors, structure facilitating project coverage Ourense wifi has built over that newly acquiring Concello in historic nucleus parish on Calle Estreito, número 1.

This location is rejected by this group, since they believe that is done on a building in disrepair and that is very close to housing. His discomfort was transferred formally to Concello of Ourense, through a registered letter to the Government Sub, which requested that "the technical services of the City Council will assess the situation of the building and inspect the building" to prevent them becoming a risk to pedestrians.

The problem for public health observes a group of residents before installing the wifi antenna extends beyond possible landslides by the poor condition of the property. His argument is also concerned by the harmful effects it may have the antenna on the wifi network and, as they say, emit electromagnetic pollution "we are not the legal obligation to bear".

To justify its refusal to install the repeater in the historical heart of Seixalbo refer to different judgments that once forced them to stall the project to implement free Internet access in cities like Leon. In fact, in recent years there have been protests from environmental groups and neighborhood groups to seek other alternatives.

Interestingly, the fruit of the controversial building was visited recently by the mayor of Ourense, Francisco Rodriguez, and the councilor of healings, Marga Martin, who during his stay in the parish announced that the landmark building will be renovated to host a civic and social .

However, part of the residents believe that "has been closed for many years without any maintenance on its facade and presents clear signs of deterioration, this infrastructure wifi can further weaken the precarious state and create a greater danger" to the inhabitants of Seixalbo .
