Somebody has mentioned that ASICs emit dangerous levels of radiation. Can anybody confirm or deny this?

I hope he was talking about non-ionizing radiation.

EDIT:

Have they started adding WiFi to the chips? 

I would certainly hope not considering ASICs are everywhere--computer processors, GPU cards, cell phones...most electronic devices have at least one.  ASICs are just integrated circuit chips.

Current Bitcoin miners can draw as much as 2500W. Perhaps with the extra power the normally insignificant amount of radiation they emit is boosted to got nukes levels.
