The UK Health Protection Agency carried out a research project on this issue, in the context of concerns about WLAN RF in primary schools.
Their results can be viewed here: http://is.gd/2F8zuf The *very* short version: "Using a sitting voxel model of a ten-year-old child, and considering an exposure scenario of a Wi-Fi device operating at 2.4 GHz with an output power of 100 mW and a duty factor of 1 (100%), the highest localised SAR value in the head and torso were calculated as 5.7 mW kg-1 and 14.4 mW kg-1 respectively. These values are significantly lower than the limit of 0.08 W kg-1basic restriction advised by the ICNIRP for the general public. The reported SAR value in the head represents less than 1% of the SAR previously calculated in the head for a typical mobile phone exposure condition."

Has anyone else been asked this before and can you direct me or send me the info that you provided to that person or department? Thanks for any help or info on this subject.
