The radios used by Roofnet are FCC certified 802.11 devices and transmit at 200mW or less, so there’s no associated health risk. For the sake of comparison, cell phones emit between 600mW and 3 watts of power (source), so Roofnet is relatively safe. Also, we only use passive antennas (which do not contain amplifiers) so it’s safe to have an antenna in the house.
