While some experimental and small-scale clinical studies report potential biological effects and health concerns associated with Wi-Fi and radiofrequency radiation, comprehensive reviews and regulatory evaluations emphasize that the current evidence remains ambiguous, often lacking definitive consensus on direct harm.
