Is WiFi safe, especially in schools, or should we be cautiously concerned?

This is a link to a Danish experiment on some effects of WiFi radiation. It is something worth considering, especially if you consider the fact that students and teachers are in school for 6-8 hours, 5 days a week......

WiFi sure is easy, and there are many who believe that it's long term effects and safety are both, as yet unknown, and potentially harmful. I know that I do not want to sit in the stew, or have my child in it either....

Do or would you feel 100% at ease being exposed to it throughout the day, everyday? School systems are also much more powerful than home systems (which may not be such a great idea either,) especially with 2-3% of the population apparently being highly affected by it. Why the rush to fill every cubic inch of Nature with electronica?
Shouldn't we be cautious with the future health of everyone's children, and the teachers/administrators?

I don't believe in a flat earth, nor do I believe it grand, to rush into electronica beamed everywhere. I just think better slow now, than "oops" later.

On another hand, CO2 is well above 400PPM, the ice caps are effectually melted, fracking, Keystone/Tarsands and Fukushima continue along, most of us hop in and drive everywhere, and money/profits seem to be more valued than a planet worth living on into the future.

Perhaps, today's students, can save us from ourselves, if we don't beat the curiosity out of them in the meantime and, we will see, eh? http://www.buzzpatrol.com/danish-9th-graders-commended-for-experiment-with-cellphone-radiation/
