This practice creates an antenna for supraharmonics and is responsible for capacitive coupling with the human body. Yet it's promoted by a group called Building Biology. This group is self certified and has been touted as an authority but in reality it's quite the opposite. Unfortunately many people have been harmed. Many comments have revealed this problem as the suffering people are blaming cell phones and WiFi and have not been educated about the most biologically active frequencies radiating from their walls, ceiling, and sometimes floors. To make matters worse they have been taught to attach themselves to them via earthing or grounding.
