Haifa municipality disconnects WiFi
in kindergartens and schools in the city
18/4/16
The disconnect is until a thorough
examination of WiFi safety is done
Haifa's mayor, Yona Yahav, ordered in coordination with the head
of education department, Ilana Truck, to immediately disconnect WiFi in
educational system until a thorough examination of the subject. At the same
time, Yahav guided to advance the installation of wired safer system.
Yahav: "The education
system in Haifa
is full of network computers and new, advanced technological systems. However,
regarding anything that relates to our children, if there is doubt- there is no
doubt. We must take excessive precaution.
As long as the argument on real danger was not refuted, I
ordered to disconnect all the devices in kindergartens and in schools. In order
not to prevent advanced technology from the children, we will act to activate
safe wired system".
In recent years, the internet media has become part of our
daily lives. The use of cell phones, smart phones and computers is gaining
momentum among a wide range of ages, where children is an especially sensitive
population to environmental effects among them exposure to electromagnetic
radiation (non ionizing radiation).
Since the publication of the State Comptroller report in
December 2014 on the subject
"handling electromagnetic radiation in the education
systems by local authorities and private owners", all relevant bodies were
recruited to measure radiation in all schools in the country.
Haifa municipality states, that "the education system has
advanced computers system of the highest level. They are under control and
stand in annual measurements and until today the results were lower than the
demand of the existing standard. "
In view of this, and as long as it was not proven that WiFi
radiation is dangerous, a discussion has started in the municipality to take
precaution and receive answers from the governmental ministries.
Haifa municipality is organizing a conference for the next month,
on radiation from cell phones and smart phones, in order to give knowledge to
the public on wireless emitting technologies and their effects. The conference will deal with creating a
policy for educated use of cell phones in the education system in Haifa. Part of the
conference will be dedicated to radiation from Wi-Fi. This week, in coordination with the head of
the city's education system, Ilana Truck, Yahav ordered to disconnect
immediately the WiFi in kindergartens and schools in Haifa until a thorough examination of the
subject is done. These days the
education system is preparing to gradually install wired system as an
alternative in all education system in the city. These will be installed in the
first stage in classrooms where pupils learn for the final exams that force use
of computers, so they won't be harmed from the disconnect. The teachers in
elementary schools in the city took on themselves to load every evening the
studies material from the internet, so that pupils are not exposed and their
studies won't be harmed. Dr. Mona Nofi-Naama,
head of non ionizing radiation issue, in the Cities Association Haifa Bay for
environmental protection: "According to the precautionary principle, it is
needed to reduce the exposure to non ionizing radiation as much as possible,
among the rest also WiFi, by reducing the use of wireless networks and to
prefer in every opportunity wired connection rather than wireless. The
standards relate to thermal effect only, while here the subject is health
effects that do not relate to heating that are in low levels below the
standard, but were not defined.
