SAFETY campaigners fear children could be being exposed to dangerous radiation from wireless computer networks in schools-causing health, behaviour and learning problems.
And they want more research into the networks, where computers connect to each other via microwave radio signals instead of cables.
By the end of the year four out of five secondary schools and more than half of all primaries will be using the wireless systems. But campaigners Powerwatch say a Latvian survey shows children subjected to similar radiation to the microwave signals had attention span, memory and tiredness problems.
Powerwatch chief Alasdair Philips said: "We believe wireless computer networks may be messing with children's heads."
And Dr Michael Clark of the Health Protection Agency said: "There should definitely be more research done to confirm wireless networks are safe."
