Subject: iPad danger comparable to cellphone
I would like to bring to your attention that WiFi-enabled iPads
(which are used in direct contact with children's bodies -
hands, lap, abdomen etc) represents a comparable health hazard,
to our younger generation.
"an average smartphone uses 35 times the bandwidth of a regular
cellphone", "tablet uses up to 121 times the bandwidth." http://goo.gl/QHYpS
In Canada, parents and schools are spending thousands and
thousands of dollars purchasing iPads for use in homes and
classrooms (even tho' they are 3 times the price of a netbook
which can be wired). Toddlers are given iPads as toys and I was
horrified to hear that a parent put an iPad next to a young
child's pillow for bedtime stories and music. Parents need to be
warned.
I have measured the microwave radiation of an iPad (with WiFi
button turned on only, not browsing the internet and not
downloading anything). The measurements from the WiFi-iPad
spiked several times HIGHER than an iPhone on talking mode. I
have also checked an iPad's magnetic field (WiFi off, just
playing an already downloaded game) and it read 20 milligauss. I
would like to share the following videos with you. Please feel
free to test on your own. I think this danger which is
fast-advancing in schools and homes across nations need to be
brought to public awareness.
* The highest I have measured of an iPad on Wi-Fi mode was
actually at 90 μW/cm2, but I was not filming that time. Also,
the probe of the RF meter is located in the middle of the
spherical casing, about 2cm further from the outer shell of the
case. As a result, the readings indicated in the video are not
from "direct" contact of the iPad, which would be even higher;
whereas the children's bodies would be in direct contact with
the iPad - sometimes in the hands, sometimes on their laps
against their reproductive organs.
This is the back of the iPad which will be
resting on children's laps. Look at the top line of the
Tri-Field Meter, it shows that the magnetic fields of the
iPad2 was at 15-20 milligauss even with Wi-Fi turned off
and the unit is on Airplane Mode (no cellphone
reception/connection).
