Netherlands study shows Wi-Fi warps tree growth

While not the first, PC World is one of the latest to report that Wi-Fi signal radiation has a negative effect on sapling health. A recent Netherlands research conducted by Wageningen University discovered that Wi-Fi radiation can alter development patterns and trigger bleeding and fissures in growing sapling bark. The Netherlands is certainly not alone with this issue, either. Researchers estimate that all deciduous trees in the Western world might be subject to harmful Wi-Fi radiation.

Wi-Fi research displays bacteria and viruses are not to blame

The Netherlands city of Alphen aan den Rijn was where the five-year Wageningen University research on Wi-Fi was taking place within the trees. Approximately 70 percent of trees in urban areas currently show similar symptoms from Wi-Fi electromagnetic radiation, whereas only 10 percent of deciduous trees in and around cities showed the growth irregularities at the beginning of the study.

The Wageningen study focused on the ultra-fine particles emitted by Wi-Fi signals more than anything else. The electromagnetic fields that come from operating cars and trucks with radio or Wi-Fi and Satellite equipment and all the phone networks has been hurting the trees and shrubs substantially also. Organisms like trees get the particles in them effortlessly thinking about the ultra-fine particles are so small. Other plants, animals and human beings are also subject. There has not been a definite research published on the effect on human beings yet although lots of evidence would suggest the human cells react in a negative way to the radiation.

Does Wi-Fi cost you far too much?

Trees are vitally essential to the environment, as the USDA Forest Service is quick to point out. It seems like now that Wi-Fi is here, nobody would be willing to give up something that is so essential to us. If the trees and shrubs all die though, this is what would be gone:

• Pollutants wouldn't be absorbed from the air to the trees.
• Property value wouldn't increase due to the trees and shrubs on it.
• Trees are good for business appeal and neighborhood appeal. That wouldn't occur anymore.
• No trees and shrubs to cool cities.
• An average U.S. household with tree shade on it saves the family $250 on average annually which would not occur.
• Trees save the U.S. millions by reducing pollutants within the water supply. This could no longer happen.
• No trees for animal habitats in urban areas.
