Is Wi-Fi and wireless devices safe during pregnancy?
Wi-Fi exposure is far lower than from cell phones, and high-quality studies show no biological effects. No action needed.
What the sources say
NCI says radiofrequency exposure from Wi-Fi devices is considerably lower than from cell phones and that the few high-quality studies to date provide no evidence of biological effects from Wi-Fi. Non-ionizing fields cannot damage DNA directly, and no mechanism by which they could cause cancer has been identified. Pregnancy-specific research is limited; NCI notes studies of parental exposure in pregnancy have been inconsistent.
