Ontario Catholic teachers union issues Wi-Fi warning

OTTAWA – Ontario’s Catholic teachers’ union is warning against teaching in classrooms with wireless Internet.

The Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association, which represents 45,000 teaches, issued a research paper Monday highlighting some of their concerns surrounding Wi-Fi technology.

The union’s call for a moratorium on wireless Internet follows a warning from the World Health Organization in May. The WHO’s cancer arm called for more research into the potential dangers of Wi-Fi, noting all radiation from wireless devices could be carcinogenic.
