Any standards involving RF radiation is tightly regulated in most countries, and the health authorities are aware of risks associated with large amounts of RF radiation. Since 802.11 a/g/n is internationally standardized (and permitted by the health authorities), we have to assume that the relevant standards are safe. I see no reason whatsoever why we should do anything special in FreeBSD here. Time for you to stop your anti-OFDM crusade and let FreeBSD developers work in peace.
