to worry about whether wifi should be banned from schools

Has anyone read the report featured in today's on line Mail stating that a committee set up by the Council of Europe has issued a report saying that wifi should be potentially banned from school since it can potentially cause cancer and affect developing brains? And that this was a health crisis in the making akin to asbestos, smoking and lead in petrol?

My DC's school (small and in a house) has had its wifi updated recently to what the principal (who is technology mad and wants all pupils ultimately to bring in laptops) described as "industrial" standards.

At home I always switch off our wireless box at night just because well I have always been a little sure about how it might affect the DC. And now I've read this article I'm even more concerned. Any thoughts? I know I'm probably being unreasonable.
