The Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution, an independent group of British environmental experts, has short-listed Wi-Fi for its next study. Noise pollution, water management and the environmental impact of plastics are also options.

The news follows continued fears over the potential dangers posed by Wi-Fi and related technologies (mobile phones, electric power lines etc.), which would also be covered. The group is currently asking for public views to help make its decision.

Hopefully any investigation would be a proper and scientific process as opposed to Panoramas (BBC) somewhat less credible attempt.
