According to a joint study conducted by several universities in the Netherlands, the rise in electromagnetic fields associated with wireless networks and cell phones is blamed for stunting tree growth in urban areas, MacWorld reported.
Researchers in Alphen aan den Rijn were commissioned to study the impact of wireless networks on the Dutch city's trees after abnormalities in growing patterns were spotted there.
While there is not conclusive evidence that Wi-Fi use is harmful to human beings, the new study concluded that 70 percent of the trees in urban areas of the Netherlands were negatively affected by the proliferation of Wi-Fi technology, CNET reported.
But before you toss your iPhone or wireless router in the trash and return to old-fashioned communication methods such as envelopes, stamps and a stack of tree-killing stationery, it might be worth noting that the study was limited to examining a total of 20 ash trees over a period of just three months. The trees that were placed closest to Wi-Fi stations showed averse symptoms such as dying leaves. Still, researchers at the TU Delft University and Wageningen University cautioned that more studies were needed
