Almost one-third of Canadians are worried that regular exposure to radiation-emitting wireless devices—such as cellphones and wi-fi routers—is harming their health, says a study from the Department of Health.

Surveying 5,000 Canadians from across the country, the study asked how concerned respondents were about “daily or regular usage of products like these that emit various forms of radiation,” to which 31 percent said that they were worried, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
