> Probably overly careful, but I didn't want to point a radar at my sleeping kids (and myself) for 12 hours per day.

While I understand the sentiment. It's very very unlikely to be dangerous and there are plenty of other environmental dangers.

The biggest being the sun. But the most common man-made ones are probably auditory. Like toys and TVs being too loud or high-frequency sounds blasted from speakers in malls or under bridges to avoid "loitering."




Yeah on one hand you have people afraid of wifi and simultaneously sending their kids to play all day outside in UV index 11 without a hat or sunscreen. Things that are "natural" being inherently safe and anything technological literally death itself.


Loud toys are definitely dangerous for my children, they make me angry.
