What are the radiation implications of having the Wi-Fi iPad positioned partially on your body for hours a day?

I don't know much about this (so don't shoot the messenger), but Christopher Ketchem has been on sort of tear about the dangers of cell phones and WiFi. THe has a recent GQ article and was on This American Life about this.  The money paragraphs on WiFi from the article: "All of these concerns—the danger of microwaves issuing from the phones we place next to our skulls, the danger of waves emitted by the cell towers that dot our landscapes—also apply to the Wi-Fi networks in our homes and libraries and offices and cafés and parks and neighborhoods. Wi-Fi operates typically at a frequency of 2.4 gigahertz (the same frequency as microwave ovens) but is embedded with a wider range of modulations than cell phones, because we need it to carry more data. "It never ceases to surprise me that people will fight a cell tower going up in their neighborhoods," Blake Levitt, author of Electromagnetic Fields: A Consumer's Guide to the Issues and How to Protect Ourselves, told me. "They they'll install a Wi-Fi system in their homes. That's like inviting a cell tower indoors."" "The concern about Wi-Fi is being taken seriously in Europe. In April 2008, the national library of France, citing possible "genotoxic effects," announced it would shut down its Wi-Fi system, and the staff of the storied Library of Sainte-Geneviève in Paris followed up with a petition demanding the disconnection of Wi-Fi antennas and their replacement by wired connections. Several European governments are already moving to prohibit Wi-Fi in government buildings and on campuses, and the Austrian Medical Association is lobbying for a ban of all Wi-Fi systems in schools, citing the danger to children's thinner skulls and developing nervous systems."

The risks of both wi-fi and cellular radiation are starting to become more universally known. A scientist from CSIRO actually just won compensation for pain he incurred while working in a building with wi-fi for many years: http://www.news.com.au/technology/csiro-scientist-dr-david-mcdonald-wins-compensation-for-wifi-pain/story-e6frfrnr-1226729178281 And despite numerous appeals (in regards to wi-fi health risks) the LA Unified school district just gave out iPads to 200 students, which they are now attempting to get back: http://greenswan.org/los-angeles-unified-school-district-ipad-fiasco/

There is some risk due to the use of Wifi- as there is in any device with wifi. Read the great article about Ipad radiation at http://www.rskofradiation.com
