The blood-brain barrier acts as a filter that keeps pathogens and toxins from entering a person’s brain. Experts told PolitiFact that there is no clear evidence that radio frequency energy from Wi-Fi harms the blood-brain barrier.

that comes from a source and travels through space at light speed, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It has wavelike properties and a magnetic field associated with it, the CDC said.radio frequency waves, a form of electromagnetic fields, to transfer information.

The only known effect of radio frequency on living matter or on matter containing water is heating, which is how things are warmed in a microwave oven, Perrin said. Analyzed together, many studies of radio frequency fields’ effects on the blood-brain barrier suggest"that there is no risk at the levels of exposure encountered in our environment," Perrin said.

However, there is scant information on how humans may be affected, Lai said. And even if exposure to low-intensity microwaves degrades human blood-brain barriers, it is not clear what that could mean."The health impact of a leaky blood-brain barrier remains to be investigated," Lai said.
