EDIT: As I said, heat and light are EM fields. And therapeutic electromagnets emit a very strong (baseband) EM field (and medical diathermy machines emit microwave EM fields as well). Most absorbed EM merely induces heating, trivial compared to sunlight, and that is all. Even being exposed to a microwave oven operating with an open door (with a defeated safety switch) is mostly just a danger to the eyes from the heating effect.
EM fields are very frequency dependent. It is only ionizing radiation (UVB and above) that can damage DNA. And some ELF frequencies (way below AM radio frequencies) are thought to affect certain hormone production or other cause other possible cellular disruption, but only at high-energy levels for long exposures. I have not seen any specific research to support this notion, but it seems plausible. And Wifi is very unlikely to cause such problems, because it is converted to heat when absorbed by water molecules in our bodies, and the only real known danger there is a possible contribution to cataracts if our eyeballs get too hot. But staring at a campfire big bed of hot coals too long can have the same effect (heating the cornea)...
It is the same problem with getting safe and clean
thorium (or
depleted uranium) power plants approved -- to get elected, politicians must avoid any scary 'radiation' discussions, even though coal and petroleum are less efficient and more polluting (but less dangerous to political careers).
Wow... Now not just scary wifi "radiation", but scary "dangerous wifi rays" (like a scary "dangerous ray gun"):
