Wi-fi and Trees
Here’s a little bit of disconcerting information. It turns out that wi-fi signals negatively affect trees. According to this study, up to 70% of trees (up from 10% only 5 years ago) show damage that includes: “cracks, bumps, discoloration and various forms of tissue damage”
Here’s a second take (read this one if you read only one).
In the study – trees closest to the wi-fi source showed dead tissue on the upper and lower epidermis creating a “lead-like shine”.
Researchers were quick to point out that further study is needed but still….
So what do you do? Shut down the infrastructure or kill a bunch of trees? (this brings a nasty little surprise to the world of urban forestry and finding trees that survive this form of pollution as well as the other forms an urban center creates)
