There is some discussion about the harm of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted from mobile phones and other wireless devices. Is there reliable evidence? How does the distance of a baby to a wireless device affect the influence? I am not interested in anecdotes, assumptions, or dubious research but in hard, reproducible facts.

Could you link to some sources for the discussion about the harm from EMR you mention? It might help to get people started on quality answers. – Beofett♦ Jul 25 '12 at 13:24
This sounds like a candidate for Skeptics.SE... – Torben Gundtofte-Bruun♦ Jul 25 '12 at 14:05
Since we're talking specifically about WiFi and cellular signals, I'm assuming we're going to limit the discussion to GHz-area microwaves and cell-phone or wifi-like power levels? It's pretty uncontroversial that exposure to high levels of highly energetic EMR (X rays, gamma rays) is harmful. ELF is a completely different can of worms too. – drxzcl Jul 25 '12 at 14:13

I see it's already been cross-posted and answered on Skeptics so I am closing this copy. – Torben Gundtofte-Bruun♦ Jul 25 '12 at 15:04
