How much radiation does WiFi from a base station generate? Data shows it's only 1/5 of that from a cell phone

Wuhan's wireless city is getting bigger and bigger, and with it comes a substantial increase in the number of signal base stations, and wireless network coverage is getting wider and wider. While WiFi is giving citizens more convenience, many people are beginning to worry about the electromagnetic radiation of base stations. "Base stations have been built at the doorstep of our homes. With such a large base station, everyone is afraid that its radiation will affect their health." A Wuhan citizen said. So, how big is the radiation from signal base stations? Will it harm our health?

　　Signal base station WiFi radiation is only one-fifth of that of mobile phones?

　　Recently, a third-party monitoring agency came to Wuhan to measure the radiation of base stations here. The data showed that the signal base station radiation met the national standard, and the value was only 1/5 of the radiation value during a mobile phone call. In theory, it would definitely not endanger the health of citizens.

　　The monitoring records show that the working group came to the base station of Wuhan Citizens' Home, and the monitoring instrument obtained more than 20 sets of monitoring values ​​at different positions and distances from the base station. The data showed that the radiation value of the base station was 0.57-1.46 volts per meter, and the average value was about 0.89 volts per meter. Compared with the radiation of 4.5 volts per meter during mobile phone calls monitored on site, it is only 1/5 of the radiation when answering the phone. Subsequently, the instrument showed that the radiation of the base station on the roof of Zhuyeshan Entrepreneurship Building was about 1.79 volts per meter.

　　It is understood that my country's standard for electromagnetic radiation requires that the electric field strength must be less than 12 volts per meter, or the power density must be less than 40 microwatts per square centimeter. The above measured data shows that the electromagnetic radiation of the signal base station is far lower than the national standard. It is reported that the EU standard for electromagnetic radiation is less than 450 microwatts, and the standards of Japan and the United States are less than 600 microwatts. In comparison, my country's national standard for radiation is more stringent.
