A Whangarei mother is concerned that WiFi technology in classrooms will see children spend their school years in a "soup of radiation".
Tracey Gates said the drive by some schools to have every child use wireless laptops or handheld computer devices flew in the face of international warnings about heavy exposure to electromagnetic radiation (EMR).
Ms Gates has been trying to raise awareness about the issue after Maunu Primary School's plans to increase classroom WiFi capability and implement a "bring your own device" policy for all pupils.
"I did some research and was swamped with negative information ... I'm not targeting my son's school. I want people to become more informed."
She said she had aired her concerns at a recent PTA meeting and asked the school to give parents more information.
