Wireless 'wi-fi' technology should be removed from schools to prevent millions of children suffering a heightened risk of cancer and sterility, teachers demanded yesterday.
The Association of Teachers and Lecturers called for classroom wireless networks to be suspended immediately until research has properly considered the threat to health.
Members said they were concerned by scientific reports linking wi-fi with impaired concentration, loss of short-term memory, chromosome damage and increased incidence of cancer.

WIRELESS technology should be removed from schools because of fears it could cause cancer or make pupils sterile later in life, teachers warned yesterday.
The Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) has called for a government investigation into the biological and thermal effects of "wi-fi" networks.
The union claimed wi-fi is in 70 per cent of secondary schools and 50 per cent of primaries.
However, health experts said there was no evidence the technology had any detrimental effect.
Colin Kenney, of Cookstown High School, in Northern Ireland, who called for the investigation, said that international experts had called for caution when using wi-fi technology.
