Radiation and electromagnetic radiation. Effect of electromagnetic radiation on the human body. EMR and human health

Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) accompanies modern man everywhere. Any technique whose action is based on electricity emits waves of energy. Some varieties of such radiation are constantly talked about - these are radiation, ultraviolet and, the danger of which has long been known to everyone. But about the impact of electromagnetic fields on the human body, if it occurs due to a working TV or smartphone, people try not to think about it.

Types of electromagnetic radiation

Before describing the danger of a particular type of radiation, it is necessary to understand what it is all about. School course Physics tells us that energy travels in the form of waves. Depending on their frequency and length, a large number of types of radiation are distinguished. So electromagnetic waves are:

  1. high frequency radiation. It includes x-rays and gamma rays. They are also known as ionizing radiation.
  2. Medium frequency radiation. This is the visible spectrum that humans perceive as light. In the upper and lower frequency scale are ultraviolet and infrared radiation.
  3. low frequency radiation. It includes radio and microwaves.

To explain the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the human body, all these types are divided into 2 large categories - ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. The difference between them is quite simple:

  • Ionizing radiation affects the atomic structure of matter. Because of this, in biological organisms, the structure of cells is disturbed, DNA is modified and tumors appear.
  • Non-ionizing radiation has long been considered harmless. But recent studies by scientists show that with high power and prolonged exposure, it is no less dangerous to health.

Sources of EMP

Non-ionizing electromagnetic fields and radiation surround a person everywhere. They are emitted by any electronic equipment. In addition, we must not forget about the power lines, through which the most powerful charges of electricity pass. EMR is also emitted by transformers, elevators and other technical devices that provide comfortable living conditions.

Thus, it is enough to turn on the TV or talk on the phone so that the sources of electromagnetic radiation begin to affect the body. Even such a seemingly safe thing as an electronic alarm clock can affect health over time.

EMI measuring devices

To determine how strongly this or that source of electromagnetic radiation affects the body, devices for measuring electromagnetic fields are used. The simplest and most widely known is an indicator screwdriver. The LED at its end burns brighter with a powerful radiation source.

There are also professional devices - fluxmeters. Such an electromagnetic radiation detector is able to determine the power of the source and issue it numerical characteristics. They can then be recorded on a computer and processed using various examples of measured quantities and frequencies.

For humans, according to the norms of the Russian Federation, an EMR dose of 0.2 μT is considered safe.

More accurate and detailed tables are presented in GOSTs and SanPiNs. You can find formulas in them, thanks to which you can calculate how dangerous an EMP source is and how to measure electromagnetic radiation depending on the location of the equipment and the size of the room.

If radiation is measured in R / h (the number of roentgens per hour), then EMR is measured in V / m 2 (volts per meter square square). The following indicators are considered a safe norm for a person, depending on the frequency of the wave, measured in hertz:

  • up to 300 kHz - 25 V / m 2;
  • 3 MHz - 15 V / m 2;
  • 30 MHz - 10 V / m 2;
  • 300 MHz - 3 V / m 2;
  • Above 0.3 GHz - 10 μV / cm 2.

It is thanks to the measurements of these indicators that the safety for a person of a particular source of EMR is determined.

How does electromagnetic radiation affect a person?

Considering that many people have been in constant contact with electrical devices since childhood, a natural question arises: is EMP so dangerous? Unlike radiation, it does not lead to radiation sickness and its effect is imperceptible. And is it worth observing the norms of electromagnetic radiation?

Scientists also asked this question back in the 60s of the 20th century. More than 50 years of research have shown that the human electromagnetic field is modified under the influence of other radiations. This leads to the development of the so-called "radio wave disease".

Spurious electromagnetic radiation and pickup disrupt the work of many organ systems. But the most sensitive to their effects are nervous and cardiovascular.

According to statistics recent years, about a third of the population is affected by radio wave sickness. It manifests itself through symptoms familiar to many:

  • depression;
  • chronic fatigue;
  • insomnia;
  • headache;
  • concentration disorders;
  • dizziness.

At the same time, the negative impact of electromagnetic radiation on human health is most dangerous because doctors still cannot diagnose it. After examination and testing, the patient goes home with a diagnosis: “Healthy!”. At the same time, if nothing is done, the disease will develop and pass into the chronic stage.

Each of the organ systems will respond to electromagnetic influence differently. The most sensitive to the effects of electromagnetic fields on a person is the central nervous system.

EMI impairs signal transmission through the neurons of the brain. As a result, it affects the activity of the organism as a whole.

Also, over time, negative consequences for the psyche appear - attention and memory are disturbed, and in the worst cases, problems transform into delirium, hallucinations and suicidal tendencies.

Influence electromagnetic waves It also has a large-scale effect on living organisms through the circulatory system.

Erythrocytes, platelets and other bodies have their own potentials. Under the influence of electromagnetic radiation on a person, they can stick together. As a result, there is a blockage of blood vessels and the performance of the transport function of the blood worsens.

EMR also reduces the permeability of cell membranes. As a result, all tissues exposed to radiation do not receive the necessary oxygen and nutrients. In addition, the efficiency of hematopoietic functions decreases. The heart, in turn, responds to this problem with arrhythmia and a drop in myocardial conduction.

The influence of electromagnetic waves on the human body destroys the immune system. Due to the clumping of blood cells, lymphocytes and leukocytes are blocked. Accordingly, the infection simply does not meet with resistance from defense systems. As a result, not only the frequency of colds increases, but also an exacerbation of chronic ailments.

Another consequence of harm from electromagnetic radiation is the disruption of hormone production. Impact on the brain and circulatory system stimulates the pituitary gland, adrenal glands and other glands.

The reproductive system is also sensitive to electromagnetic radiation, the impact on a person can be catastrophic. Given the disruption of hormone production, men's potency decreases. But for women, the consequences are more serious - during the first trimester of pregnancy, a strong dose of radiation can lead to a miscarriage. And if this does not happen, then the disturbance of the electromagnetic field can disrupt the normal process of cell division, damaging DNA. The result is pathological development of children.

The effect of electromagnetic fields on the human body is destructive, which is confirmed by numerous studies.

Given that modern medicine practically nothing can oppose radio wave disease, you must try to protect yourself on your own.

EMP protection

Taking into account all the possible harm that the influence of the electromagnetic field brings to living organisms, simple and reliable safety rules have been developed. In enterprises in which a person is constantly faced with high levels EMP, special protective screens and equipment are provided for workers.

But at home, the sources of the electromagnetic field cannot be screened like that. At the very least, this will be inconvenient. Therefore, you should understand how to protect yourself in other ways. In total, there are 3 rules that must be observed constantly in order to reduce the impact of the electromagnetic field on human health:

  1. Stay as far away from EMP sources as possible. For power lines, 25 meters is enough. And the screen of a monitor or TV is dangerous if it is located closer than 30 cm. It is enough to carry smartphones and tablets not in pockets, but in handbags or purses 3 cm from the body.
  2. Reduce contact time with EMP. This means that you do not have to stand for a long time near the working sources of the electromagnetic field. Even if you want to follow the cooking on an electric stove or warm up by the heater.
  3. Turn off unused electrical appliances. This will not only reduce the level of electromagnetic radiation, but also help save money on your energy bills.

You can also take a set of preventive measures so that the impact of electromagnetic waves is minimal. For example, having measured the radiation power of various devices with a dosimeter, it is necessary to record the EMF readings. The emitters can then be distributed around the room to reduce the load on individual areas of the area. It is also important to consider that the steel case shields EMP well.

Do not forget that electromagnetic radiation of the radio frequency range from communications equipment constantly affects human fields while these devices are turned on. Therefore, before going to bed and during work, it is better to put them away.

Being interested in how electromagnetic radiation affects a person, you need to know about the trends in the health status of people of different age categories. Today, residents of megacities, workers in the field of intellectual labor often complain about low performance, poor health, and constant fatigue. The cause of complaints is the influence of electromagnetic radiation on living organisms. Progress is an achievement, convenience for a person. But not for our body, which every year feels the influence of natural changes, bad ecology, and unnatural nutrition more. - one of the negative factors. We learn in detail about their impact, harm, prevention.

What is amy

To understand the effect of electromagnetic radiation on a person, you need to understand what it is.

Electromagnetic radiation is a process and overnight phenomenon of the propagation of waves of the same name into space. It is a kind of energy.

Types of EMI are as follows:

  1. Radio waves (medium, short, ultrashort, extra long, long). They are the fruits of human activity, natural atmospheric phenomena.
  2. Infrared rays, also called thermal. They are the basis of life on Earth.
  3. Ultra-violet rays. Their length is shorter compared to infrared ones. The frequency is high.
  4. Gamma waves include any radiation with a frequency greater than X-rays, a shorter length. Their sources are nuclear processes, space energy.
  5. X-rays or X-rays used for diagnostic purposes in medicine.
  6. Visible light is the spectrum of radiation visible to our visual apparatus.

There are many varieties of the above radiations. Everyone is present in everyday life.

About norms and methods of measurement

EMR is measured in special units of Angstroms (A). Their indicators are different, depending on the type of waves. Electromagnetic radiation can be measured using special oscilloscope devices.

The degree of influence of EMR on us directly depends on the power of its sources. That is why for health-conscious people, representatives of certain professions and fields of activity, it is important to systematically apply the above measuring instruments. Some men, the fair sex, want to take such measurements at home, controlling their health and children. However, oscilloscopes should be used skillfully. The results of their work must be correctly interpreted.

About own electromagnetism

The body of any person, like all living organisms, has its own energy. This is the human electromagnetic field, often referred to as the aura or biofield. It makes the work of all systems harmonious and harmonious, synchronizes them. Visually, the aura of each adult can be depicted by a computer, a special program. The biofield is the main protection, the shell of the body, protecting it from the effects of EMP from the outside.

Human electromagnetic radiation is significantly different from others, external. When the biofield is destroyed, the body becomes vulnerable to any negative environmental factors. Among them - the impact of electromagnetic fields. If they are more powerful than their own, the process of destruction, chaos, imbalance begins. At the physical level, the destructive process is manifested first by a deterioration in well-being, a decrease in working capacity, then by diseases.

Most people believe that the effect of electromagnetic waves on a person is the hum of a powerful electric generator or a transformer box. Such examples are not limited to the destructive effect on human health of electromagnetic waves. Power can be ten times weaker, but the negative impact is ascertained. Especially if the impact is long-term or systematic.

About EMP sources

Devices, devices and devices that generate EMP serve as such sources. The harm of electromagnetic radiation depends on their power. The stronger it is, the more harmful will be the influence on the physical level. Even a safe radiation rate for a person is a convention, a relative concept. Because it does not guarantee the safety of health to a weakened, old, sick person. At risk are those who are regularly exposed to the above influences.

The list of man-made inventions includes:


It becomes clear that every day, hourly, each of us falls under such a negative influence. AT modern society it is impossible to isolate oneself completely from it, to fence oneself off. Juicers, coffee makers, hair dryers, iPhones, TVs, air conditioners, irons, toasters constantly provide the influence of electromagnetic fields on the human body.

How exactly does EMR work?

Research on this has been going on for a long time. In the Soviet Union, this issue was given increased attention. Experiments were carried out, the results of which are impressive even today. This is not about the impact of EMP on humans. Experiments were carried out on animals. It has been established that their offspring, exposed to devices with low EMR at the stage of embryonic development, are less viable. Congenital deformities, developmental anomalies, low weight and, in most cases, CNS dysfunction were noted in such cubs. The experiments were carried out with adult, naturally strong animals. The result of the research was the statement:

  • deterioration of reproductive function (changes in the genitals, a decrease in the number of fetuses in the litter);
  • decrease in physical activity of animals.
  • reduction in the mass of the thymus.
  • weight loss, acceleration of age-related degeneration.

Today when everyday life Each of us is simply oversaturated with technology, progressive devices, mobility, and insignificant fractions of exposure are dangerous. The problem is that the intensity of weak EMR coincides with one's own biofields. Symbiosis leads to failures, distortion of the personal biofield. Such a change provokes the onset of all kinds of diseases. The weakest areas of the human body are the first to react. For example, if a woman has genetically weak kidneys or reproductive organs, she may be diagnosed with pyelonephritis, adhesions in the ovaries.

Amy's biggest danger is the cumulative effect. Exposing the body to weak, low-frequency radiation every day, we accumulate them in the body. The level gradually increases. If by genus professional activity a person is surrounded by a lot of technology, including personal gadgets, after a year or two he begins to complain about:


Not only professional IT specialists and representatives of the sphere of intellectual work fall into the risk zone. The term "Internet addiction" is firmly established in our lives. Those who abuse virtual communication, preferring it to live, are exposed to a destructive effect on the biofield.

Residents of megacities are also at risk. Compared to the villagers, they communicate less with wildlife and prefer a modern, oversaturated with innovative inventions vacation. Instead of having a picnic in the forest, citizens visit 3D cinemas, swimming in the river is replaced by online games or watching TV shows.

Doctors state: the influence of radio waves is first of all displayed on the brain. Gradually, a person's concentration, memory, and creativity of thinking decrease. magnetic radiation, its constant exposure disrupts the functioning of the eyes, circulatory system. The proof of this is the result of such a study. After 20 minutes of working on a PC in a ten-year-old child, changes in the blood become the same as in a cancer patient. A similar picture of the blood will be in a 16-year-old young man after 35 minutes of communication with a computer, in an adult - after 2 hours.

American scientists have studied the impact of EMR on expectant mothers. They found that the probability of miscarriages in those women who constantly worked at computers approached 80%. The figure is a weighty proof of the harmful cumulative effect of emy, its destructive effect.

It has been proven that electricians are 13 times more likely than other professions to develop brain cancer. After all, the most vulnerable to the influence of the above radiation is the nervous system. Violating the permeability of cell membranes, it first leads to increased fatigue, accelerated aging, depressive manifestations, and forgetfulness. Then it develops into more serious ailments of the central nervous system.

How to protect yourself from amy

It is impossible to completely isolate their negative influence. The harm and benefits of electromagnetic waves are eternal companions. Refuse charms, achievements, comforts modern life useless. Although today the so-called ecovillages are becoming popular - a way of life that ignores household appliances, mobility. But this is rather an exception. The protection rule is to limit the use of the achievements of civilization, including gadgets. The recommendation is especially relevant for young, growing organisms, which are the first to fall under the destructive effect. The function of control, restrictions is the task of parents. Adults themselves should try not to abuse:

  • virtual communication using gadgets, PC;
  • use of household electrical appliances;
  • being under power lines;
  • electric transport services.

We must try to carry out free time in live communication with people and nature, more often to relax away from city apartments, using the possibilities of "green tourism". It is at the same time a chance to limit the impact on your biofield and strengthen your own defensive forces. Restrictions are acceptable for all categories of the population, relevant for the most vulnerable ages.

The second, more reliable protection option is to use special neutralizing devices. They visually look like small boxes. The mechanism of their work is the generation of radiation opposite to pathogenic, antiphase. This neutralizes the influence of radio frequencies, gamma waves, infrared rays, non-ionizing radiation on a person. This protection option is expensive today.

The influence of electromagnetic radiation on the human body (abbreviated as EMR, electromagnetic field - EMF) has been studied by specialists since the invention of electricity: large research institutes have conducted research on children, pregnant women and even not whole generations of people.

As a result, according to the official data of the WHO (World Health Organization), EMR is recognized as dangerous if exposed for too long.

Radiation sources These are mobile electronics, telephone towers, transformers and many other electronic devices. It is impossible to protect yourself from electromagnetic radiation. It is contained in a natural amount in the natural field of the earth. For example, the result of EMP in the atmosphere is flashes of ions during the northern lights.

But if the influence of electromagnetic radiation on a person is negative, how to maintain one's health and compensate for unpleasant ailments?

Sources of electromagnetic radiation


The more electronics are produced, the more EMP sources humanity receives. You can not demand to stop the process of technologization: the scientific and technological revolution has led to the rise of electronics.

Now it occupies an important place in human life. Some electrical appliances even support the lives of hospital patients on mechanical ventilation or in a coma, and in these cases, the effect of EMR is negligible.

If radiation sources are to be avoided, the only way out is to simply not buy certain items, or stay away from the following range of influencing things:

  • Cell phones;
  • tablets;
  • LCD TVs;
  • energy-saving lamps;
  • transformer boxes;
  • large electrical cables;
  • sockets;
  • refrigerators;
  • domestic electrical generators;
  • devices for tomography of the brain;
  • and much more.

The effect on the human body is the stronger, the longer he uses the device. To limit the action, it is enough to move away from the equipment by a few meters.

Results of various studies


In the USSR, Spain, the USA, Great Britain and other countries, studies were conducted on the subject of the effect of EMR on children and adults. Here are the main facts about radiating devices that were revealed during the experiments.

How does radiation affect the embryo?

Pregnant women who constantly worked at the PC during the period of bearing a child were more prone to miscarriages.

80% had prerequisites for its appearance and even full-fledged cases.

The other study group, who didn't spend as much time around electronics, had a much lower miscarriage rate. The study was conducted in the United States in the early 2000s. Now computer technology has stepped forward, and the waves have become less dangerous for humans.

Children who talked on the phone for 20 minutes then showed changes in brain activity for 2 hours. A group of 11-13 years old was taken for testing. The experiment was set up in Britain in the 90s.

The same experts, but later tested the impact of computers on children and adults. Children about 10 years old showed blood and EEG changes similar to those of cancer patients after only half an hour. Teenagers - in an hour, and adults - in 2 hours. The changes faded away within the same amount of time.

Experts from the University of Bristol have proven that the reaction rate in children aged 11-14 who constantly use the phone decreases by 1.5-2 times. Similar results were revealed by Finnish studies that studied the effects of electromagnetic fields and radiation on the human body.

In the USSR, experiments were carried out on animals. The offspring of those individuals that were even slightly irradiated during pregnancy turned out to be less viable. It showed anomalies not only in development, but also at the genetic level.

Based on the above data, EMR does indeed have an effect on living organisms, including humans.

How exactly does the process of exposure take place, which organs are affected by electromagnetic waves?

The nature of changes under the influence of EMR

Electromagnetic waves- these are some vibrations that transmit energy from induction electrical systems and affect living organisms and inanimate objects.

Induction or irradiation occurs when uneven movement electrons inside a closed space. Electrons are also part of the human body, as a result of which a microscopic magnetic and electronic field arises around a person.

Electromagnetic radiation affects a person by changing his natural field. Some life functions depend on the field. For example, own electromagnetic radiation affects the reaction rate of neurons, brain activity, reaction.

With an external influence that leads to violations of the natural levels of the waves, the functions go astray. As a result, the body begins to get sick, showing various EMR-related dysfunctions.

What does radiation affect?


The waves emitted by electrical appliances and natural sources affect most of the departments of the human body:

  • reproductive system;
  • cardiovascular system;
  • endocrine organs;
  • departments responsible for immunity;
  • nervous system;
  • brain.

Each department in its own way suffers from constant doses of radiation. And although waves are less dangerous than radiation is commonly believed, the problem of EMP is more relevant: wave induction surrounds us at every step, and therefore is more dangerous.

Effect of EMR on the brain


Studies by prestigious British and American institutes of science, Finnish organizations and Russian research institutes have shown that EMR reduces the activity of the nervous system.

Signals from the brain to the periphery and vice versa are transmitted more slowly. Part of the information is lost along the way, resulting in failures: convulsions, absent-mindedness, incorrect mechanical movements.

Decreases, especially in children, the reaction rate. This leads to an increased risk of death due to accidents, the suppression of a sports career. Waves have a negative effect on brain activity, temporarily exerting a kind of "stupefying" effect on a person.

Side effects for the reproductive system


With the constant impact of induction on the reproductive system, the reproductive function decreases. A person either becomes completely infertile, or partially loses the viability of germ cells.

Male gametes - spermatozoa - stick together, which makes it more difficult to conceive a child. In women, the menstrual cycle is interrupted.

People with "electric" professions (repair of transformer booths, electrician, IT specialist) often have children with developmental anomalies.

Depression of the cardiovascular system


Vessels, especially in the eye area, after a long stay in front of radiating devices are significantly narrowed. The outflow and inflow of blood slows down, the brain and other organs suffer from oxygen starvation.

Due to their malnutrition, vision deteriorates sharply, the heart begins to “play pranks”. People who are prone to heart attacks are at greater risk of their occurrence when working with PCs and mobile devices.

Changes in the endocrine system

The thyroid gland has recently been showing dysfunction mainly in adolescents. This is caused not only by natural causes (their rapid growth and hormonal changes), but also by the influence of electronic devices.

With constant exposure to EMR, the risk of developing iodine deficiency, excess thyroxine production, and delayed physical development increases.

Regular computer users show increased rates of ankle swelling, even if the breaks and exercises necessary to compensate for them were taken during work. It is also associated with hormonal disruptions.

Conclusion on the effect of radiation on humans


It cannot be unequivocally said that one should abandon all electronic devices at once and switch to a healthy lifestyle. It is impossible to refuse their use. It is easier to follow simple recommendations that will reduce the negative effect of electronics.

Children should use phones and computers as little as possible, about 30-60 minutes a day. Adults should be limited to 2 hours. When working with electronics, you need constant breaks.

Every person from time to time thinks about their health and well-being. Recently, more and more people are faced with the problem of frequent ailments, poor health, rejuvenation of diseases and more severe forms of disease.

What are the reasons for such a sharp change in overall health indicators? Every day a person is affected by a huge number of factors that, one way or another, leave their imprint on us.

This is manifested in an increased nervous tension at work, malnutrition, lack of regimen, disturbed sleep, external factors such as radiation of a different nature. All this does not pass without a trace for the body, and even more so, this way of existence does not carry anything positive.

External radiation

If a person still has the opportunity to somehow correct and adjust his schedule and lifestyle depending on the situation, then there are influencing factors that do not depend on us, for example, external radiation.

Every day more and more new technology enters our lives, without which it is difficult to imagine our existence at this stage of technology development. Think about how many devices you use in one day? Phones are always with you, the computer is always on, microwave ovens, air conditioners, TVs, and many other different devices that make our lives easier, on the one hand, saving time, but negatively affect our health, on the other. The greatest harm is caused by devices whose operation is based on electromagnetic waves.

How electromagnetic radiation affects the human body

It has long been known that electromagnetic radiation has a negative impact on humans. We are surrounded by technology and wires everywhere. An excess of such exposures entails changes in the human immune background, which leads to various diseases that could have been avoided by being in a healthy environment and environment.

A person has a protective biofield, which, in turn, is subjected to negative influence from outside, and every day these factors destroy this shell with their force, the stronger, the greater the force of influence on a person.

In other words, the more a person surrounds himself with radiating devices, the stronger he receives a negative impact and accelerates the process of destruction of the protective shell.

Every day, many people are faced with such a strong source of electromagnetic radiation as a computer, a modern person spends most of his free time at the monitor, and people whose work is directly related to a computer can be under the influence of a radiation source up to 17-18 hours a day. The computer can be considered one of the main sources of electromagnetic radiation. When the computer is running, an electromagnetic field is created around it, which reduces ionization environment, it is also worth considering that during operation, technical means tend to heat up, as a result of which the air also heats up and dries it out.

Dry air leads to allergic reactions, and can also contribute to the development of respiratory diseases.

The cardiovascular system and the nervous system also have a high sensitivity to the effects of electromagnetic radiation, this was revealed by the results of the studies.

Radiation can cause:

  • nervous disorders;
  • sleep disturbance;
  • significant deterioration in visual activity;
  • weakening of the immune system; various violations of life-forming processes;
  • disorders of the cardiovascular system.

People are still arguing about how harmful and dangerous the radiation in question is. Some try not to pay attention to this, because it is extremely difficult to reduce the impact at this stage of technology development, while others, on the contrary, exclude all auxiliary equipment from their lives and, if possible, lead a healthy lifestyle, try to go to environmentally friendly places and surround themselves nature.

Results

There is no doubt that all kinds of radiation have a negative impact on living organisms and do not bring benefits, however, it is quite difficult to avoid them. But there is an option to try to reduce the intensity of such impacts, to try to reduce the use of radiating technology in cases where it is possible to do without it. Reducing the dose of radiation received can protect the body and take care of health.

In ordinary life, we use a dozen or two electrical devices, as a result of which our body is harmed by electromagnetic radiation. Our houses are packed household appliances, hospitals diagnose diseases with high-tech tomographs.

Electromagnetic radiation - what is it?

Electromagnetic radiation has accompanied living organisms for many millennia in the form of a natural background. In the process of technological progress, mankind has created artificial sources of radiation. Over millions of years of evolution, the human body has been able to adapt to many manifestations of the environment. But against fluctuations in the level of electromagnetic radiation remained defenseless. A couple of percent increase in EMR is already enough to cause harm to the body's systems.

Electromagnetic radiation form objects that can excite electromagnetic waves.

The wavelength of the emitted wave can be different, depending on the type.

Types of radiation:

  • x-ray;
  • ultraviolet;
  • infrared;
  • radio wave;
  • side electromagnetic radiation.

X-rays and ultraviolet, passing through the tissue, have a damaging effect. Infrared radiation heats, speeds up chemical reactions in a cage. Radio waves are absorbed by the human skin, which leads to the removal of heat.

Some types of radiation are felt by the human body, others are not. It does not cancel their destructive action. Despite the different names, the essence remains the same.

The electromagnetic field from various devices and power lines can accumulate, forming electromagnetic smog. Being in his area is very harmful to the body.

In addition, there is also spurious electromagnetic radiation and interference.

Spurious electromagnetic radiation and interference - radiation emitted by the components of the computer. With special devices it can be caught and deciphered. This is usually done in order to obtain information. The most powerful radiating element is the monitor, it is from it that data is stolen. You can catch the data while viewing it on the screen. In order not to wait for the user to open the desired file, the operating system becomes infected with a virus. And then interested parties have every opportunity to steal any information. During a normal game of, say, a kerchief, the virus will access the necessary components and provoke spurious radiation.

However, espionage does not threaten the average user. It is much more important to remember that the computer's strongest emitter is the monitor, and to be at a safe distance from it.

The mechanism of action of electromagnetic radiation

Is electromagnetic radiation harmful? The answer is unequivocal. Exposure to electromagnetic radiation adversely affects living organisms. Emitters suppress the body's natural frequencies. Each organ vibrates at its own frequency. For example, for the heart it is 700 hertz, the liver - 550-600 hertz, the pancreas - 600-800 hertz. The average frequency of the human body is 620-680 hertz. When the average frequency drops to 580 hertz, the body becomes extremely vulnerable, diseases occur.

The source of radiation changes the normal frequency of the organs, forcing them to work harder or, conversely, suppressing activity. For example, if the heart rate is multiplied by one and a half times, this will lead to angina pectoris.

People with electrical pacemakers are at particular risk. The influence of radio waves on the pacemaker above a certain level will cause the device to stop.

To date, there is no protection against electromagnetic influence. Some companies have tried to speculate with protective materials, but in practice have been useless.

The effect of electromagnetic radiation is negative on all living organisms. The following systems are the first to be damaged in a person: nervous, immune, endocrine, reproductive. They have one common property- intensive cell division, constant tissue renewal. The harm of electromagnetic radiation is to change the cell cycle. Absorbed by tissues, it increases the reaction rate in the cell.

At first glance, it doesn't sound scary. The acceleration of cell division processes leads to the formation of errors and mutations. A cell that shares with an error will perform its functions poorly or incompletely, and a cell with a mutation can even give rise to a cancerous tumor.

The most dangerous is not a single exposure, but a permanent presence in the zone of electromagnetic smog. General signs of EMR damage to the body - headache, chronic fatigue syndrome, disorders of the thyroid gland and other endocrine organs. Decreased brain function, its degeneration. As a result, malignant tumors, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.

Sources of electromagnetic radiation

The radiation intensity of electrical appliances is different. Accordingly, the harm done too. Consider, in descending order of the danger of electromagnetic radiation:

So, in first place:

  • computers and laptops;
  • microwave;
  • power lines (TL).
  • electric stove;
  • washing machine;
  • fridge;
  • mobile phone;
  • television;
  • a vacuum cleaner;
  • fluorescent lamps.

And small household appliances are practically harmless: iron, blender, hair dryer, coffee machine, toaster.

Mobile phones pose a serious danger of electromagnetic radiation. Smartphones cause particular harm to the body. The level of radiation emanating from them is small compared to other electrical appliances. But, as we remember, the intensity of the impact increases if you get closer to the source of radiation. The main radiating element in the phone is the antenna. While talking on the phone, every day we hold the emitter near the brain tissue. The World Health Organization (WHO), after large-scale studies covering 13 countries, announced the carcinogenic properties of EMR, the connection of malignant head tumors with the use of mobile phones. According to research by some scientists, the picture looks even more frightening: brain cancer can occur even in those who speak on the phone for only 15 minutes a day.

How to reduce harm?

It will not work to neutralize electromagnetic radiation, to exclude household electrical appliances from your life - most likely, too. So, it remains to observe the "safety precautions".

First of all, you need to understand how far the electromagnetic field propagates. And, if possible, be at a safe distance while operating electrical appliances.

So, from an electric stove, a kettle and an iron, the radiation is at a distance of 20-30 cm.

TVs, refrigerators and a washing machine "fonyat" per meter.

The real radiation monster is the microwave oven. While cooking or heating food, it is better to stay away from it. Measurements show that at a distance of one or two meters, the level of EMP is much higher than sanitary standards.

Modern smartphones have different intensity of electromagnetic radiation. In the characteristics of the device, this parameter is called SAR. SAR measures the energy of an electromagnetic field absorbed by human tissues in one second. It is measured in watts per kilogram. In the US, a value of 1.6 W/kg for 1 gram of tissue is considered safe. However, third-party studies by scientists claim that the real SAR parameter is several times higher than that indicated in the gadget's characteristics. The latest iPhone models (7 and 7 plus) have SAR close to the normal range.

Smartphone exposure can be completely eliminated by following simple rules. Do not leave the phone close to the body during sleep, but it is better to turn it off altogether. Talk only with a wired headset. It is completely secure, unlike the more convenient wireless Bluetooth headset.

The harm of electromagnetic radiation can be reduced by keeping a safe distance from the devices during operation.

For each emitter, this distance is different. The closer you are to an electrical appliance, the more radiation you receive. It is important to remember about the property of electromagnetic waves to penetrate walls. Having correctly located radiation sources in your apartment, you will not be protected from neighbors' electrical appliances. But there is a way out here too. With an electromagnetic field measuring device, you can find the optimal position for your furniture.
