A recent Dutch study claims that the trees are adversely affected by wireless signals that we use casually for voice and data traffic nowadays. According to the survey 70% of the trees in densely populated areas in the Netherlands suffers from something called the WiFi disease. Five years ago showed only 10% of the trees symptom of WiFi disease. WiFi flu is found on the trees by abnormal growth rates and “bleeding” from the cracks in the bark.
The researchers behind the study points out the need for follow-up studies of trees WiFi disease to enable them to ensure that it is actually Dutch wireless networks that cause damage to trees. Would they come to the conclusion that it was indeed the WiFi behind the damage one might wonder how the signals affect humans? For the moment I’m not particularly concerned.
