How does Wi-Fi electromagnetic radiation affect the human body and health?

Electromagnetic radiation from Wi-Fi routers and modems acts on a person as radiation.

Electromagnetic radiation is one of the reasons for the birth of sick children and disabled children. The reason is the long-term harmful effect of electromagnetic radiation on spermatozoa and eggs of the human genital organs.

This is especially true for those men and women who like to keep laptops on their laps for a long time (several hours in a row). It is also dangerous to be in close proximity to a Wi-Fi router.

This conclusion was made by one of the authors of a special study, scientist-engineer Alistair Philips from the Netherlands.
“Wi-Fi has a detrimental effect on a person’s ability to think, that is, it has a direct effect on the brain and the ability to think,” the specialist emphasized.

Judging by the number of devices that currently use Wi-Fi, you might think that it is safe for health. 10 years ago, Wi-Fi was almost unheard of. Now Wi-Fi is everywhere. Wi-Fi routers are in the house, in the workplace and even on the street.

What is Wi-Fi and why is it dangerous?

Wi-Fi is a high-speed wireless standard for data transmission and wireless networking. Today, a significant number of devices, such as smartphones, laptops, and a number of others, are equipped with WiFi wireless modules.

It would seem that Wi-Fi connections should be secure. In fact, this is not true.

WiFi devices emit radio frequency or microwave radiation. Wireless routers (routers), smartphones contain transmitters that use radio frequency radiation to transmit information in space.

This RF radiation can penetrate wood, concrete, and metal walls. It also easily permeates our bodies. All electromagnetic radiation is an invisible "electromagnetic smog". This “smog” is especially strong and dangerous in densely populated cities.

This is what invisible electromagnetic radiation looks like in an ordinary apartment:

What other types of electromagnetic radiation are there?

It is impossible to see electromagnetic radiation, but not everyone can imagine it, and therefore normal person he is almost not afraid.

Meanwhile, if we sum up the influence of electromagnetic radiation from all devices on the planet, then the level of the natural geomagnetic field of the Earth will be exceeded millions of times.

The scale of electromagnetic pollution of the human environment has become so significant that the World Health Organization has included this problem among the most urgent for mankind. And many scientists attribute it to potent environmental factors with catastrophic consequences for all life on Earth.

Behind last years in cities, the number of various sources of electromagnetic radiation in the entire frequency range has increased dramatically and continues to grow rapidly.

These are mobile (cellular) communication systems, traffic police radars, new TV channels and many broadcasting stations.

A particular problem is the electrical equipment of buildings (transformers, cable lines, etc.). After all, it continuously irradiates living quarters around the clock.

There are other sources of radiation in residential buildings: refrigerators, irons, vacuum cleaners, electric stoves, televisions, computers and much more that we plug into the socket every day.

The energy effect of electromagnetic radiation can be varying degrees and strength. From imperceptible to a person (which is observed most often) to a thermal sensation with high power radiation. heavy duty electromagnetic influences can damage devices and electrical equipment.

Harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation on the body

According to the severity of the influence, electromagnetic radiation may not be perceived by a person at all.

At high doses, it can lead to changes and complete exhaustion of the brain, and even death.

Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to electromagnetic radiation, even at a relatively low level, can cause:

• • cancer diseases,

• • memory loss,

• • Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases,

• • decreased concentration,

• • impotence and even increase suicidal tendencies,

• • the fields are especially dangerous for children and pregnant women,

• • changes in the hormonal status of the male body,

• • cause changes and mutations of chromosomes,

• cause changes in the reproductive system.

The complexity of the problem lies not only in the impact on the health of the population, but also on the health and intelligence of future generations. There is an increase in congenital anomalies of development.

Continuous long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation (especially pulsating WiFi radiation) can cause oncology - leukemia or the growth of tumors in the internal organs of the body.

Electromagnetic radiation affects cell growth (growth stops). Impaired protein synthesis is such a serious danger that the researchers noted that “this property of cells is especially evident in growing tissues, that is, in children and young people.

Consequently, these population groups are the most susceptible to the effects of electromagnetic radiation and radio emissions. The presence of children and adolescents in the zone of Wi-Fi and other electromagnetic radiation increases the risk of developing problems in their body.

How to protect yourself from electromagnetic and radio frequency emissions

Researchers recommend Internet users turn on Wi-Fi only for use for a certain time, and turn it off as unnecessary.

Especially dangerous is the constant pulsating Wi-Fi radiation in the bedroom at night for sleeping people. Constant long-term exposure to its radiation can cause oncology - leukemia or the growth of tumors of the internal organs of the body.

Do not stay close to the Wi-Fi router. Moreover, do not sleep next to the included router. Again, we are only talking about the dangers of long-term Wi-Fi operation when it is used for days.

Scientists warn pregnant women to avoid using wireless devices and stay away from other Wi-Fi users and radiation sources.

Antioxidant radiation protection and cell repair

An effective way to prevent diseases caused by electromagnetic radiation is to eat foods rich in proteins, amino acids, and antioxidants.

These substances are able to protect the body from the oxidizing effects of radiation and radiation. They contribute to the growth and restoration of cells, prevent the occurrence of cancerous tumors.

Of the strongest antioxidants that NSP offers, we recommend using to protect cells from oxidation. Grepine with protectors. Grapine with Protectors is excellent for protecting cell membranes and finer structures such as RNA and DNA.

They primarily suffer from both intoxication with external poisons and endogenous aggression, from exposure to decay products (metabolites), as well as from infection.

You can use protein shakes as an additional source of protein. Nutri Burn or Smart Meal. These are the best protein sources on the market.

NSP's Nutri Burn Protein Shake is a 100% cold-filtered and ultra-filtered whey protein source.

Natural French vanilla is included as a flavor additive in the cocktail. It does not contain substances of artificial origin. The composition of this protein shake includes special herbs that contribute to the normalization of metabolism.
This is a protein in its native form, in which the configuration of the protein molecule is natural and perfectly absorbed.

Nutri Burn protein shake contains three types of whey protein:

• Whey protein isolate (absorbed in 30 minutes, very fast),
• Whey protein concentrate+ (absorbed in 2 hours),
• Calcium caseinate (absorbed in 6-7 hours).

In general, whey proteins are anabolic proteins, i.e. such proteins that contribute to the formation of new proteins and muscle building.

Electromagnetic radiation refers to the divergence of electric and magnetic fields. Spreading electromagnetic field occurs with the help of electromagnetic waves, which in turn emit charge particles, molecules, atoms and other components. The harm of electromagnetic radiation has been officially proven and confirmed by relevant research by scientists, therefore, as far as possible, its effect on the human body should be limited.

Formation and use of electromagnetic radiation

The composition of natural factors includes magnetic and electromagnetic radiation that is generated by the nucleus the globe. Man-made forms of radiation include high-frequency and ultra-frequency waves, as well as light rays and laser radiation. Human exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiation of both natural and anthropogenic origin tends to have a negative impact on almost all organs and systems, as well as the body as a whole.

How electromagnetic radiation affects a person, as well as what consequences it leads to, has been known for a long time, but it is almost impossible to limit its use. This is due to the fact that this type of radiation underlies the activity of television and radio communications, since it is thanks to electromagnetic impulses that the visualization of the transmitted image from the television center to each television becomes possible.

This type radiation is also widespread in the operation of mobile phones, since connections between subscribers occur using electromagnetic pulses. The impact of electromagnetic networks on the human body also takes place when using computer technology, connecting to the Internet and much more.

The generated electromagnetic radiation is widely used in modern society, because thanks to its generation we have access to radio and telecommunications, mobile communications, computer technology and much more.

The area of ​​contact with the field (which has a detrimental effect on a person), the body's ability to resist and resist is also taken into account. A circumstance worth paying attention to when defining such a phenomenon as electromagnetic radiation is the consequences of such influence.

The influence of electromagnetic radiation on the human body

The consequences of such an impact depend on a number of external and internal factors, but even the smallest of its effects disrupts homeostasis at the atomic and molecular level. With an increase in the intensity of influence, such changes can be expressed at the cellular, systemic or even organismal levels.

Suffering the most nervous system as well as cardiovascular. First, there are signs such as headache and dizziness, general weakness, sleep disturbance, etc. Pressure suffers, changes are also manifested in an increase or decrease in blood pressure. This is followed by a slowing of the pulse, pain in the heart (may be accompanied by tachycardia or bradycardia), hair loss and fragility of the nail plates. In the early stages of damage, the consequences of electromagnetic radiation are reversible. It is possible to get rid of such consequences by stopping the impact of the negative factor, as well as after symptomatic therapy.

If the influence of the electromagnetic field on the human body had a direct connection with the violation of the main and medulla oblongata, which are especially sensitive to such radiation, changes in the nervous system are considered irreversible and are not subject to leveling. They can manifest themselves in impaired coordination of movement, rarely cause deviations in the work of muscle tone like a convulsive attack, etc.

In addition to the detrimental biological effects on the body, which manifests itself in a number of systemic disorders, the influence of an electromagnetic field on a person also contributes to the appearance of charges when the body contacts a metal object.

This can manifest itself when a person (who is not touching the ground) touches a metal object (which is in direct contact with the ground). It can lead to unpleasant pain or even minor convulsive seizures.

If you notice symptoms from exposure to electromagnetic radiation, you should immediately seek specialized medical attention. Termination of the impact of the negative source and self-conduct drug therapy will improve the patient's condition, but in any case, you should consult a doctor.

Methods of protection against electromagnetic radiation

The main methods of protection are:

So, we figured out how the electromagnetic field affects human health and what consequences the interaction of the body with radiation sources can lead to.

Answering the question of how to protect yourself from excess in the apartment, it is worth noting that compliance with all safety conditions and minimizing contact with sources of this type of negative impact will help reduce the risk of consequences.

Electricity has firmly entered our lives and has become an integral part of it. But technological progress is associated with an increase in the level of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), which has an adverse effect on all living organisms. Electromagnetic radiation is an oscillation of electric and magnetic fields that propagates through space at the speed of light. A person does not see or feel it, therefore, is not able to assess how it affects health. Meanwhile, doctors all over the world are sounding the alarm that EMR acts on the body like radiation. Let's figure out how electromagnetic waves affect a person, whether there are ways to protect against adverse effects.

Sources of electromagnetic radiation

Throughout life, a person is exposed to electromagnetic fields (EMF). If people are not able to change the influence of electromagnetic radiation from natural sources (the Sun, the magnetic and electric fields of the Earth), then they can reduce the impact from artificial sources.

But actively using the achievements of scientific progress, a person, on the contrary, is increasingly experiencing the effect on the body of side effects caused by the operation of various devices and mechanisms - electromagnetic waves from artificial radiation sources that surround us everywhere:

• transformers;
• cell phones;
• medical equipment;
• computers;
• antennas;
• elevators;
• household appliances;
• power lines.

Energy coming from sources varies in frequency and wavelength are the main characteristics of EMF. Scientists have discovered and studied electromagnetic waves of all possible ranges that are used in science or technology. The spectrum of electromagnetic radiation is formed from the totality of all waves.

Spectral range of EMF radiation

The light that is perceived by the human eye is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, but only a small part. While studying it, other waves were also discovered. Electromagnetic waves include:

1. X-rays and gamma rays - high-frequency electromagnetic radiation (3 - 300 MHz).
2. Infrared radiation, light visible to the human eye, as well as ultraviolet - medium frequency radiation (0.3 - 3 MHz).
3. Radio emission and microwaves - low-frequency radiation (3 - 300 kHz).

All electromagnetic waves are used by humans and affect both living organisms and environment. The biological activity of waves increases with a decrease in their length.

Radiation coming from low-frequency and medium-frequency sources is non-ionizing. It means that harm to health at an acceptable level of exposure to EMR is minimal.

A strong biological effect on the human body is provided by medical equipment - sources of high-frequency radiation and ionizing electromagnetic radiation: x-ray machines and computed tomography machines. MRI and ultrasound are harmless to the body, because X-rays are not used in the diagnosis.

The full spectrum of electromagnetic radiation by wavelength is divided into ranges:

• radio waves (100 km - 1 mm) - used in the field of television and radio broadcasting, in radar;
• microwaves (300 - 1 mm) - used in industry and in everyday life: satellite and cellular communications, microwave ovens;
• infrared radiation (2000 microns - 740 nm) are widely used in forensics, physiotherapy, for drying products or products;
• optical radiation - 740 - 400 nm - light visible to humans;
• ultraviolet radiation (400 - 10 nm) is widely used in medicine and industry: bactericidal and quartz lamps;
• x-rays (0.1 - 1.01 nm) are widely used in medical diagnostics;
• gamma radiation (less than 0.01 nm) are used in the treatment of cancer.

The boundaries between the ranges of the spectrum are considered very conditional.

Level of electromagnetic radiation

Outgoing electromagnetic radiation from artificial EMF sources can be low-level and high-level. The power level of the source affects the degree of intensity of electromagnetic radiation.

To the sources high level include:

• high-voltage power lines;
• electric transport;
• towers for television and radio broadcasting, satellite and cellular communications;
• transformers;
• electric lifting installations (elevators, funiculars).

Low-level sources include all types of household appliances, devices with a CRT display and house wiring, sockets and switches.

To determine the level of EMR, a special device is used - a fluxmeter.. It fixes the value of the electric field strength indicator, according to which protective measures are taken if the norms are exceeded.

The maximum permissible level of exposure of the population is the value of the intensity of electromagnetic radiation, at which there is no harmful effect on the human body.

To calculate the radiation dose depending on the source, distance to it and size, there are special tables and formulas. A safe dose of electromagnetic radiation is 0.2 - 0.3 μT.

How electromagnetic radiation affects living organisms

Numerous scientific studies have led to the conclusion that the impact of electromagnetic fields on the human body and animals is negative, its consequences are violations of the internal organs and the development of various diseases.

The influence of electromagnetic waves on a person depends on many factors:

• intensity (level) of the field;
• their length and frequency;
• time span of impact;
• human health status.

Sources with high levels of EMF have a stronger impact on human health. The depth of penetration into the body depends on the wavelength: long-wave fields act on internal organs, the brain and spinal cord, short waves only on the skin and lead to a thermal effect.

EMFs increase the risk to the health of children and debilitated organisms, as well as people prone to allergic diseases.

Spurious electromagnetic radiation and interference with constant exposure disrupt the activity of all body systems and can lead to the occurrence of radio wave disease, the symptoms of which are observed by many:

• chronic fatigue;
• state of apathy;
• exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• persistent headaches;
• sleep and attention disorders;
• frequent depression.

If we take into account that the average city dweller is constantly exposed to the electromagnetic field throughout his life, then radio wave disease can be diagnosed in almost every city dweller and the resulting symptoms can be explained precisely by its development. If you do not take measures to protect against harmful EMF, then the risk of developing chronic ailments (cardiac arrhythmia, diabetes mellitus) and permanent viral respiratory diseases increases.

After a short-term exposure to electromagnetic waves, a healthy body is able to fully recover and eliminate the changes that occurred while in the zone of increased EMR.

With prolonged action of electromagnetic rays, the bioenergetic balance of the body is disturbed, changes accumulate and become stable.

What harm do electromagnetic radiation cause to the human body

Harm to health from sources of ionizing radiation has been proven for a long time, and there is probably no person who would not know about the negative consequences of exposure to x-rays or gamma rays. The impact on human health of EMF from non-ionizing sources is still poorly understood, but scientists around the world have already proven its negative impact.

The main types of anthropogenic electromagnetic radiation:

• high-voltage power lines;
• microwave and radio emission from wireless communication devices and household appliances.

Electromagnetic fields and radiation pose a threat to almost all systems of the human body. Under their influence

• the permeability of nerve signals from the brain to other organs worsens, which affects the activity of the whole organism: brain coordination is disturbed, reflexes are dulled;
• negative changes in the mental state are detected: impaired memory and attention, in severe cases, the appearance of suicidal thoughts, delusions, hallucinations;
• there is an adverse effect on the circulatory system: EMR can provoke the adhesion of blood cells, which will lead to blockage of blood vessels, arrhythmias, and increased blood pressure;
• there is a decrease in the permeability of cell membranes, due to which the body experiences oxygen starvation and insufficient intake of nutrients;
• the production of hormones is disrupted, since under the influence of electromagnetic fields there is a constant stimulation of the pituitary gland, thyroid gland and adrenal glands;
• immunity decreases (frequent SARS, tonsillitis), and immune cells begin to attack their own cells (the occurrence of allergic reactions) due to a drop in the level of lymphocytes.
• the risk of oncological diseases increases - there is evidence that intense exposure to certain frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum can have a carcinogenic effect;
• there is an inhibition of sexual function in men (reduced potency) and women (menstrual irregularities, infertility).

Electromagnetic radiation has a particularly detrimental effect on the fetus in the womb.

Constant excess of the allowable dose of EMR during pregnancy leads to a negative impact on the mother and to pathologies of the child's development at different times, especially in the first trimester:

• the formation of defects in various organs;
• slow development of the most important body systems;
• stillbirth;
• premature birth.

In one study of exposure to electromagnetic waves on pregnant women, a high probability of stillbirth and spontaneous abortion was found with an increase in the maximum allowable level of EMR. For those participants in the experiment who constantly wore an electromagnetic emitter, the risk of miscarriage was twice as high. If a child is born, he has a high probability of developmental pathologies, since EMR affects the DNA structure, damaging it.

The conclusion is disappointing - the influence of electromagnetic radiation on the human body negatively and negatively affects the activity of almost all of its systems. To avoid its devastating effects on health, it is necessary to take care of life safety (BJD) and methods of protection against electromagnetic radiation.

Methods of protection against the influence of electromagnetic fields

Electricity permeates every corner of our lives: from a simple incandescent lamp to complex industrial installations. Modern man can no longer imagine how he will do without household appliances, means of communication and telecommunications. Stop using completely electric current and the benefits of civilization for most of us is not possible, but the implementation of some recommendations will minimize the devastating effects on health from the harmful effects of EMF.

At enterprises where a person is constantly forced to deal with the action of high-level EMR, they are required to install protective screens and strictly comply with all sanitary and epidemiological requirements and rules of the Belarusian Railways.

It is important to know that the level of EMF strength decreases as you move away from it for a certain distance. So, in order to protect yourself from the harmful effects of high-voltage lines on human health, you need to move to a safe distance from power lines or other high-level sources by 25 meters.

In no case should residential buildings be built closer than 30 meters from sources with a high level of electromagnetic radiation and do not allow children to play near transformer boxes or towers.

In order for electrical equipment to make life easier for a person, and not shorten it, you must adhere to the following tips and rules.

1. Find out the degree of danger that comes from various sources of electromagnetic radiation at home and at work using a special dosimeter.
2. In accordance with the indicators, arrange electrical appliances in such a way that they are as far as possible from the recreation area and the dining table (at least 2 meters).
3. The distance from the CRT monitor or TV should be at least 30 cm.
4. If possible, remove all electrical appliances from the bedroom and children's room.
5. Place an electronic clock with an alarm clock no closer than 10 cm from the pillow.
6. Do not stay near a working microwave oven, microwave oven or heater.
7. Cell phones are not recommended to be brought closer to the head than 2.5 cm. It is not bad to talk through the speakerphone, and keep the phone as far away from you as possible.
8. You should not constantly carry cellular communications in your pockets - in your purse or purse they are the place.
9. Always turn off electrical devices that are not in use, because even in sleep mode, a certain dose of radiation comes from them.
10. It is harmful to use a hair dryer before bed: EMR slows down the production of melatonin and disrupts sleep cycles. Do not use a computer or tablet less than 2 hours before going to bed.
11. In sockets for connecting electrical appliances, it is necessary to check the presence of grounding.

You should be aware that the steel case of electrical appliances well shields the radiation emanating from them, and electromagnetic waves can also penetrate walls: electrical appliances located in the next room or neighbors can also affect the body.

All recommendations must be strongly observed by expectant mothers if they want to endure and give birth to a healthy baby. Excessive computer or cell phone use during pregnancy poses a health risk to the unborn child.

Technological progress has made life much easier for people and has given a wide variety of equipment and electronics, medical devices that help us to be healthy, electric vehicles and elevators. But the negative impact on a person of electromagnetic radiation from electrical appliances and devices, power lines and communication towers cannot but disturb specialists and scientists.

Numerous studies lead to disappointing conclusions that without the use of EMF protection measures, human health is in danger. Therefore, if there is no possibility or desire to get rid of all the benefits of civilization and move to live in the forest, it is necessary to protect yourself and your loved ones from the harmful effects of EMR by following the simple rules of the Belarusian Railways for working with electrical appliances and follow the recommendations given above.

Now there is a lot of talk about electromagnetic radiation, which is inevitably exposed to any modern man, especially a resident big city. How does electromagnetic radiation affect the human body? How dangerous is it?

What is electromagnetic radiation (EMR)? This is a special form of matter, through which the interaction between electrically charged particles is carried out, a kind of intangible wave propagating in a medium, consisting of an electrical and magnetic component.

Sources of EMP

Sources that create an electromagnetic field can be both natural and artificial.

TO natural sources of electromagnetic radiation includes the constant electric and constant magnetic field of the Earth, electrical phenomena in the atmosphere (thunderstorms, lightning discharges), radio emission from the sun and stars, cosmic radiation.

Artificial sources of electromagnetic field conditionally can be divided into sources of electromagnetic radiation of high and low levels of radiation. It should be noted that, first of all, the radiation level depends on the power of the source: the higher the power, the higher the radiation level. Near the source, the radiation level is maximally high; with increasing distance from the source, the radiation level decreases.

High EMP Sources:

• overhead power lines (overhead lines, power lines of high and extra high voltage 4-1150 kV);
• electric transport: trams, trolleybuses, metro trains, etc. - and its infrastructure;
• transformer substations (TP);
• elevators;
• television stations;
• broadcasting stations;
• base stations of mobile radio communication systems (VS), primarily cellular.

Sources of relatively low EMP levels:

• personal computers and video display terminals, gaming machines, children's game consoles;
• household electrical appliances - refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, air conditioners, hair dryers, TVs, electric kettles, irons, etc.;
• cellular, satellite and cordless radiotelephones, personal radio stations;
• cable lines;
• some medical diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical equipment;
• building power supply system.

The impact of EMR on the human body

The human body reacts both to changes in the natural geomagnetic field and to the impact of electromagnetic radiation from numerous and diverse man-made sources. The reaction of the body can vary both with increasing and decreasing EMR exposure, in some cases leading to pronounced changes in health status and genetic consequences.

Experimental data of both domestic and foreign researchers testify to the high biological activity of the electromagnetic field (EMF) in all frequency ranges. The biological effects of EMF exposure on the human body depend on the frequency and wavelength of radiation, intensity of EMF, duration and frequency of exposure, combined and total exposure to EMF, and other factors. The combination of the indicated parameters can give significantly different consequences in the reaction of the organism.

No less important is the localization of the impact - general or local, since with a general impact, the risk of negative consequences is higher. For example, the impact from power lines is general for the whole organism, and the impact from a cell phone is local (on certain parts of the human body).

The effect of EMF interaction with the biological environment depends on the radiation dose. It is based on the conversion of field energy into heat; the mechanism that performs such a transformation causes the rotation (displacement) of molecules. This leads to various negative phenomena in the body.

It should be noted that our body is daily exposed to several different electromagnetic fields simultaneously or sequentially.

Such an impact primarily affects the nervous, immune, endocrine and reproductive systems, changes in the functions of which imply adverse consequences for the body.

The biological effect of EMF accumulates under conditions of long-term long-term exposure, as a result, the development of long-term consequences is possible, including degenerative processes of the central nervous system, blood cancer (leukemia), brain tumors, and hormonal diseases.

Especially dangerous EMF can be for children, pregnant women(in particular, for the embryo), people with diseases of the central nervous, hormonal, cardiovascular system, allergy sufferers, people with weakened immune systems. At present, specialists from the USA, Sweden, Denmark have carried out a number of studies within 150 m from substations, transformers, electric lines railways and power lines, which showed that with prolonged exposure to EMF, the risk of developing cancer in children, especially childhood leukemia, increases by almost 4 times.

Effect of EMF on the human body

The earliest clinical manifestations of the effects of electromagnetic radiation on humans are functional disorders of the nervous system. Persons who have been in the zone of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) for a long time complain of weakness, irritability, fatigue, memory loss, sleep disturbance. Often, these symptoms are accompanied by disorders of autonomic functions (respiration, nutrition, gas exchange, excretory function), various disorders of the cardiovascular system. Usually these changes occur in persons who, by the nature of their work, were constantly under the influence of electromagnetic radiation with a sufficiently high intensity (power lines, electric transport, transformer substations, etc.).

Long-term repeated exposure above the maximum allowable EMR standards (especially in the decimeter wave range, for example from television and radio broadcasting stations) can lead to mental disorders.

In the vast majority of cases, exposure occurs with fields of relatively low levels (fields from objects of industrial frequency: electrical wiring, household appliances; computers, cell phones): the consequences listed below apply to such cases.

Effect of EMF on the nervous system. A large number of studies carried out in Russia give reason to attribute the nervous system to one of the most sensitive systems in the human body to the effects of EMF. In people who have contact with EMF, the highest nervous activity memory deteriorates. These individuals may be prone to develop stress reactions such as headaches, constant fatigue, mood swings, depression, skin rashes, sleep disturbances, and loss of appetite.

The nervous system of the embryo shows high sensitivity to EMF. The risk of violation of the formation of the nervous system of the fetus increases.

Effect of EMF on the immune system. When exposed to EMF, the processes of immunity formation are disrupted, more often in the direction of their suppression. There may be a change in protein metabolism, there is a certain change in the composition of the blood. Perhaps the formation in the body of antibodies directed against its own tissues.

Effect of EMF on the endocrine system. In the works of Soviet scientists back in the 1960s, it was shown that under the action of EMF, as a rule, stimulation of the most important endocrine gland located in the brain, the pituitary gland, occurred. This leads to an increase in the production of hormones from other glands - the adrenal glands, including the stress hormone - adrenaline, as a result of which the body adapts worse to physical environmental factors (high air temperatures, lack of oxygen, etc.).

Effect of EMF on reproductive function. The sensitivity of the embryo to EMF is much higher than the sensitivity of the mother's body. Low-intensity EMF, which has a negative effect on the body of pregnant women, can be the cause of premature birth, as well as various congenital pathologies in children. The most vulnerable periods are usually the early stages of embryonic development. This primarily concerns women working in conditions of violated electromagnetic safety standards. The occupational safety engineer at the enterprise should inform you about the electromagnetic safety standards for your workplace. Taking care of safety in the first place is for women working in industries serving powerful sources of electromagnetic radiation - antennas, locators, electrical substations, as well as in industries with a large amount of equipment (machines, etc.).

Electromagnetic protection

How to protect your family from such a negative impact? First, it should not be forgotten that all the described studies and Negative consequences EMF exposures were given for cases of continuous long-term or periodic long-term exposure. It is also important to remember that maximum harm is caused by combined and total exposure from several sources. The general rule for all harmful effects is to reduce them as much as possible, to minimize the number of sources of exposure, to reduce the time of exposure.

To protect the population in the Russian Federation, there is a sanitary and hygienic regulation of electromagnetic fields, based on many years of research and established by law. First of all, there should be a sanitary protection zone around the sources of the electromagnetic field, if necessary, measures should be taken to reduce the electric field strength in residential buildings and in places where people can stay for a long time by using protective screens. The size of this zone is determined by law depending on the type of source. Within the sanitary protection zone it is prohibited: to place residential and public buildings and structures; suburban and garden plots; arrange areas for parking and stopping all types of transport; locate car service businesses.

Here are the simplest safety and preventive measures to protect against EMF.

Watch out, power lines! Stay away from high voltage power lines. First of all, a sanitary protection zone should be allocated around the sources of the electromagnetic field of industrial frequency. The size of this zone is determined by law and is set depending on the voltage going through the power line, from 10 to 55 m. keep within a radius of 100-150 m. At the same time, one should not be afraid of power lines running along the roads, since all studies indicate the dangers of prolonged exposure to EMF. So you shouldn't sunbathe on a forest clearing under power lines and have a picnic with children there. It is not necessary to cultivate beds directly under the line or within a radius of 150 m and equip garden plots there. After all, the allowable time spent in the EMF coverage area from "high-voltage" is only a few minutes. Do not buy country and garden plots under power lines, in the sanitary protection zone of power lines. If the site borders on the sanitary protection zone of a power line, invite specialists from accredited laboratories to take measurements and determine a safe zone for people to stay for a long time.

The same precautions are given for large transformer substations. If you have a booth of a small transformer substation in your yard, then it is better not to let the baby play within a radius of 10 m from it.

TV towers and transmitting radio engineering objects of various nature. The same works Golden Rule- bypass. It should be noted that these facilities, as a rule, have a much larger sanitary protection zone than power lines. In this case, we can talk about distances of 1.5-6 km.

Electric transport. The most dangerous zones in this case are located in the driver's cabs and near the edge of the platform. Therefore, when waiting for an electric train or a subway train, it is better to move away from the edge of the platform.

Appliances. Since electrical wiring is everywhere in our homes, like a web, we constantly use household appliances, you need to remember simple safety rules: move away the source of radiation, minimize the number of sources, reduce exposure time. One of the main rules of the house is not to turn on all household appliances at once: you should not make an electromagnetic storm. Use household appliances separately if possible. For example, when vacuuming, turn off the TV.

By placing food in microwave and by pressing the "start" button, you can retreat to the room and wait a couple of minutes with the baby while the food is heated.

Also, an electric kettle will perfectly cope with boiling water without your presence. Since it is not always possible to leave the room where household appliances work, it is better to place an electric kettle and a microwave oven at a distance of 0.5-1 m from the dining or cutting table.

Vacuum cleaner during cleaning, we, as a rule, hold the hose and in the process we move quite far (more than 1 m) from the very radiating body of the vacuum cleaner.

Compressor radiating element of conventional refrigerator, is also far enough away from us to harm us. But you can, if necessary, put a dining table at a distance of more than 1 m from the refrigerator.

If washing machine is not in the pantry or bathroom, where you can safely wash when no one needs the room, practice washing while you are away.

Being within 2 m of a running washing machine is not safe from the point of view of radiation - and it doesn’t matter what a person is doing at that moment. Taking a shower or bath when the washing machine is running in the bathroom is also unsafe from an electrical safety point of view. When connecting a washing machine, grounding conditions must be observed, this and all the connection rules are described in detail in the instructions for its use. To connect large household appliances (washing machine, stove, dishwasher) for your own safety, it is always better to invite a specialist.

electric stove is also a source of industrial frequency EMP. When cooking, do not forget that the higher the power, the greater the radiation level. Therefore, try not to use the maximum heating modes for the burners and the oven, choose medium power modes, and you should not turn on all the burners and the oven at the same time.

TV it is important to look at a distance no closer than 2-3 m, and of course, not to abuse the viewing time. Don't use the TV on as a "background" all day long.

Wiring. It is better if the electrical wiring is shielded, i.e. made using special shielded cables with additional windings that prevent the spread of EMP to the outside, and goes along the floor at a distance of 1-1.5 m from the floor, being just at the level of the head of a sleeping person. It is not necessary to place sockets with sconces constantly included in them at the head of the bed. A bed for night rest is recommended to be as far away as possible from sources of prolonged exposure, the distance to distribution cabinets, power cables should be 2.5-3 m, even if they are behind the wall. Therefore, when arranging furniture, look at the drawings of the house from the developer at the entrance to the new building or at the management company for houses put into operation. If it is necessary to install underfloor heating, it is recommended to choose electrical systems with a low level of magnetic field and multi-level insulation of the heating element of the cable or water-heated floor systems. To do right choice, it is necessary to compare specifications goods.

Elevator. During the operation of the elevator, a very high intensity electromagnetic field is created. If possible, you should choose an apartment as far as possible from the elevator. If such an opportunity did not present itself, then you need to understand which room and wall in this room the elevator borders on. Do not put a bed near this wall, do not organize a workplace - arrange, for example, a green corner there.

Radio and cell phones. The harmful effect of EMR generated by both mobile and conventional radiotelephones depends on the power of the telephone. More powerful phones have a more negative impact. There are studies that show an increased risk of brain cancer with abuse (more than 3-5 minutes of continuous conversation, more than 30 minutes a day) of a cell phone. Other studies show increased fatigue, nervousness. But in modern world The mobile phone has long been a necessity. Therefore, simple rules are proposed to minimize the impact of electromagnetic radiation of this factor. Try to use a regular phone more often at work and at home, even if it is a radio, but its power is much less than that of a mobile phone. Use a wired headset, thereby removing the radiation source. Shouldn't be used cellular telephone as an alarm clock and put it nearby during sleep, it is better to turn it off or keep it away. It is better to carry a mobile phone in a bag, not in a pocket.

Personal computers. Video display terminals. When arranging computers in the office, keep in mind that the radiation comes not only from the monitor, but also from the system unit. If the PCs are one after another, then the minimum distance between them should be 2 m, if side by side - 1.2 m. Workplace should not fall into the radiation zone from the back of any monitor, since there it is maximum. It is important to choose a high-quality modern monitor that meets all safety standards. From the point of view of EMR, the LCD monitor is safer for the user, there is radiation from the electrical component from the wall, but it is less. The system unit and monitor should be as far away from you as possible. Do not leave your computer turned on for a long time when you are not using it. Also don't forget to use "sleep mode" for the monitor as there is less radiation in this case.

Try to arrange breaks in work, during which you need to be away from computers.

Game consoles are also a source of EMP.

It remains to be said that poison differs from medicine only in dosage. Thus, EMF are successfully used in medicine for the treatment of many diseases, for example, various tumors, varicose veins, hypertension, treatment of diseases of the upper respiratory tract and respiratory organs, for cosmetic purposes, for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the muscles, joints, peripheral nervous system, in the treatment of bruises. , fractures, osteochondrosis of the spine, gynecological and urological diseases and many others. Therefore, the main thing is to be prudent and exercise caution.

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 reason for 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. In modern society, it is impossible to completely isolate and protect oneself from it. 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. It's about not about the effects 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 physical activity 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. Weakest zones react first human body. 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 a picnic in the forest, the townspeople visit 3D cinemas, swimming in the river is replaced online games or watching TV.

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 impact disrupts the functioning of the eyes, the 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 blood picture will be in a 16-year-old young man after 35 minutes of communication with a computer, for 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.

It is necessary to try to spend 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 defenses. 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.
