The danger of radiation. The influence of electromagnetic waves within the apartment

modern science divided the material world around us into matter and field.

Does matter interact with the field? Or maybe they coexist in parallel and electromagnetic radiation does not affect environment and living organisms? Let's find out how electromagnetic radiation affects the human body.

Duality of the human body

Life on the planet originated under the influence of an abundant electromagnetic background. For thousands of years, this background has not undergone significant changes. Influence electromagnetic field on the various functions of a wide variety of living organisms was stable. This applies both to its simplest representatives and to the most highly organized beings.

However, as humanity “matureds”, the intensity of this background began to increase continuously due to artificial man-made sources: overhead power transmission lines, household electrical appliances, radio relay and cellular communication lines, and so on. The term "electromagnetic pollution" (smog) was coined. It is understood as the totality of the entire spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that has a negative biological effect on living organisms. What is the mechanism of the impact of electromagnetic fields on a living organism, and what can be the consequences?

In search of an answer, we will have to accept the concept that a person has not only a material body, consisting of an unimaginably complex combination of atoms and molecules, but also has one more component - an electromagnetic field. It is the presence of these two components that ensures the connection of a person with the outside world.

The impact of the electromagnetic web on a person's field affects his thoughts, behavior, physiological functions and even vitality.

A number of modern scientists believe that diseases of various organs and systems occur due to the pathological effects of external electromagnetic fields.

The spectrum of these frequencies is very wide - from gamma radiation to low-frequency electrical oscillations, so the changes they cause can be very diverse. The nature of the consequences is affected not only by the frequency, but also by the intensity, as well as the time of exposure. Some frequencies cause thermal and information impact, others have a destructive effect at the cellular level. In this case, decomposition products can cause poisoning of the body.

The norm of electromagnetic radiation for humans

Electromagnetic radiation turns into a pathogenic factor if its intensity exceeds the maximum permissible norms for a person verified by many statistical data.

For radiation sources with frequencies:

Radio and television equipment, as well as cellular communications, operate in this frequency range. For high voltage transmission lines, the threshold value is 160 kV/m. Exposure to electromagnetic radiation in excess of these values ​​is likely to cause adverse health effects. The real values ​​of the power line voltage are 5–6 times less than the dangerous value.

radio wave sickness

As a result of clinical studies that began back in the 60s, it was found that under the influence of electromagnetic radiation on a person, in his body there are changes in all critical systems. Therefore, it was proposed to introduce a new medical term - "radio wave disease". According to researchers, its symptoms are already spreading to a third of the population.

Its main manifestations - dizziness, headaches, insomnia, fatigue, deterioration in concentration, depression - do not have much specificity, so the diagnosis of this disease is difficult.

However, in the future, these symptoms develop into serious chronic diseases:

• cardiac arrhythmia;
• fluctuations in blood sugar levels;
• chronic respiratory diseases, etc.

To assess the degree of danger of electromagnetic radiation for humans, consider its effect on different systems organism.

The impact of electromagnetic fields and radiation on the human body

1. Very sensitive to electromagnetic influences nervous system person. Nerve cells of the brain (neurons) as a result of "intervention" of external fields worsen their conductivity. This can provoke severe and irreversible consequences for the person himself and his environment, since the changes affect the holy of holies - the higher nervous activity. But it is she who is responsible for the entire system of conditioned and unconditioned reflexes. In addition, memory deteriorates, the coordination of brain activity with the work of all parts of the body is disturbed. Mental disorders are also very likely, up to crazy ideas, hallucinations and suicide attempts. Violation of the adaptive capacity of the body is fraught with exacerbation of chronic diseases.
2. A very negative reaction of the immune system to exposure electromagnetic waves. There is not only suppression of immunity, but also an attack of the immune system on its own body. Such aggression is explained by a drop in the number of lymphocytes, which should ensure victory over the infection invading the body. These "valiant warriors" also fall victim to electromagnetic radiation.
3. In the state of human health, the quality of blood plays a paramount role. What is the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the blood? All elements of this life-giving fluid have certain electrical potentials and charges. Electrical and magnetic components that form electromagnetic waves can cause destruction or, conversely, adhesion of erythrocytes, platelets, and cause obstruction of cell membranes. And their action on the hematopoietic organs causes disturbances in the work of the entire hematopoietic system. The reaction of the body to such a pathology is the release of excessive doses of adrenaline. All these processes have a very negative effect on the work of the heart muscle, blood pressure, myocardial conduction and can cause arrhythmia. The conclusion is not comforting - electromagnetic radiation has an extremely negative effect on the cardiovascular system.
4. The impact of an electromagnetic field on the endocrine system leads to stimulation of the most important endocrine glands - the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, thyroid gland, etc. This causes disruptions in the production of the most important hormones.
5. One of the consequences of disorders in the nervous and endocrine systems are negative changes in the genital area. If we evaluate the degree of influence of electromagnetic radiation on male and female sexual function, then the sensitivity of the reproductive system of women is much higher to electromagnetic effects than that of men. This is also associated with the danger of influencing pregnant women. Pathologies of the development of the child at different stages of pregnancy can manifest themselves in a decrease in the rate of fetal development, defects in the formation of various organs, and even lead to premature birth. The first weeks and months of pregnancy are especially vulnerable. The fetus is still loosely attached to the placenta, and the electromagnetic "shock" can interrupt its connection with the mother's body. In the first three months, the most important organs and systems of the growing fetus are formed. And the misinformation that external electromagnetic fields can bring can distort the material carrier. genetic code- DNA.

How to reduce the negative impact of electromagnetic radiation

The listed symptomatology testifies to the strongest biological influence of electromagnetic radiation on human health. The danger is aggravated by the fact that we do not feel the effects of these fields and the negative effect accumulates over time.

How to protect yourself and your loved ones from electromagnetic fields and radiation? The implementation of the following recommendations will minimize the consequences of the operation of electronic household appliances.

Our everyday life includes more and more diverse technology, facilitating and decorating our lives. But the effect of electromagnetic radiation on humans is not a myth. Microwave ovens, electric grills, cell phones and some models of electric shavers are champions in terms of the degree of influence on a person. It is almost impossible to refuse these blessings of civilization, but one should always remember the reasonable exploitation of all the technology around us.

Every organ in our body vibrates, creating an electromagnetic field around it. Any living organism on earth has such an invisible shell that contributes to the harmonious work of the entire system of the body. It does not matter what it is called - a biofield, an aura - this phenomenon has to be reckoned with.

When our biofield is exposed to electromagnetic fields from artificial sources, it causes changes in it. Sometimes the body successfully copes with such an influence, and sometimes not, resulting in a serious deterioration in well-being.

EMR (electromagnetic radiation) can be emitted by office equipment, household appliances, smartphones, telephones, vehicles. Even a large crowd of people creates a certain charge in the atmosphere. It is impossible to completely isolate yourself from the electromagnetic background; in one intensity or another, it is present literally in every corner of the planet Earth. It just doesn't always work.

EMP sources are:

• microwaves,
• devices with mobile communication,
• TVs,
• transport,
• sociopathogenic factors - large crowds of people,
• power lines,
• geopathogenic zones,
• solar storms,
• rocks,
• psychotropic weapon.

Scientists can not decide how harmful EMR is and what exactly is the problem. Some argue that the danger is the electromagnetic waves themselves. Others say that this phenomenon is natural in itself and does not pose a threat, but what information this radiation transmits to the body often turns out to be destructive for it.

In favor latest version give the results of experiments, indicating that electromagnetic waves have an information, or torsion, component. Some scientists from Europe, Russia and Ukraine argue that it is torsion fields, transmitting any negative information to the human body, harm it.

However, in order to check how much the information component destroys health and to what extent our body can resist it, we need to conduct more than one experiment. One thing is clear - to deny the influence of electromagnetic radiation on the human body, at least, carelessly.

EMR standards for humans

Since the earth is full of sources of natural and artificial magnetic radiation, there is such a frequency that either has a good effect on health, or our body successfully copes with it.

Here are the norms of frequency ranges that are safe for health:

• 30-300 kHz, occurring at a field strength of 25 volts per meter (V/m),
• 0.3-3 MHz, at 15 V/m,
• 3-30 MHz - tension 10 V / m,
• 30-300 MHz - intensity 3 V / m,
• 300 MHz-300 GHz - intensity 10 μW / cm 2.

At such frequencies, mobile phones, radio and television equipment operate. The limit for high voltage lines is set at 160 kV/m, however real life they give out EMP radiation 5-6 times less than this indicator.

If the intensity of EMP differs from the given indicators, such radiation can be harmful to health.

When EMR is harmful to health

Weak electromagnetic radiation with low power / intensity and high frequency is dangerous for a person because its intensity coincides with the frequency of his biofield. Because of this, a resonance is obtained and the systems, the organs begin to work incorrectly, which provokes the development of various diseases, especially in those parts of the body that have already been weakened by something.

EMR also has the ability to accumulate in the body, this is its greatest danger to health. Such accumulations gradually worsen the state of health, decreases:

• immunity,
• stress resistance,
• sexual activity,
• endurance,
• performance.

The danger is that these symptoms can be attributed to a large number diseases. At the same time, doctors in our hospitals are not yet in a hurry to take seriously the influence of electromagnetic radiation on the human body, and therefore the probability of a correct diagnosis is very small.

The danger of EMR is invisible and difficult to measure, it is easier to look at bacteria under a microscope than to see the relationship between the source of radiation and poor health. Intense EMR has the most destructive effect on the circulatory, immune, reproductive systems, brain, eyes, and gastrointestinal tract. Also, a person can develop radio wave disease. Let's talk about all this in more detail.

Radio wave disease as a diagnosis

The effect of electromagnetic radiation on the human body was studied back in the 1960s. Then pundits found that EMR provokes processes in the body that lead to failures in its most important systems. At the same time, the medical definition of "radio wave disease" was introduced. Researchers say that the symptoms of this disease to one degree or another are observed in a third of the world's population.

On initial stage the disease manifests itself as:

• dizziness,
• headaches,
• insomnia,
• fatigue,
• deterioration in concentration,
• depressive states.

Agree, similar symptoms can be observed in a number of other diseases, more "tangible" nature. And if you make a wrong diagnosis, then radio wave disease makes itself felt with more serious manifestations, such as:

• cardiac arrhythmia,
• drop or increase in blood sugar levels,
• persistent respiratory diseases.

This is what it looks like overall picture. Now consider the effect of EMR on various body systems.

EMR and the nervous system

Scientists consider the nervous system to be one of the most vulnerable to EMR. The mechanism of its influence is simple - the electromagnetic field violates the permeability of the cell membrane for calcium ions, which has long been proven by scientists. Because of this, the nervous system fails, functions in the wrong mode. Also, an alternating electromagnetic field (EMF) affects the state of the liquid components of nerve tissues. This produces such deviations in the body as:

• slow reaction,
• changes in the EEG of the brain,
• memory impairment,
• depression of varying severity.

EMR and the immune system

The influence of EMR on the immune system was studied by experimenting on animals. When individuals suffering from various infections were irradiated with EMF, the course of their disease, its nature, was aggravated. Therefore, scientists came to the theory that EMR disrupts the production of immune cells, up to the onset of autoimmunity.

EMR and the endocrine system

The researchers found that under the influence of EMR, the pituitary-adrenaline system was stimulated, resulting in an increase in the level of adrenaline in the blood, and an increase in the processes of its coagulation. This entailed the involvement of another system - the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal cortex. The latter are responsible, in particular, for the production of cortisol, another stress hormone. Their incorrect work leads to the following consequences:

• increased excitability,
• irritability,
• sleep disorders, insomnia,
• sudden mood swings,
• strong jumps in blood pressure,
• dizziness, weakness.

EMR and the cardiovascular system

The state of health determines to some extent the quality of the blood circulating through the body. All elements of this liquid have their own electrical potential, charge. Magnetic and electrical components are able to provoke either destruction or adhesion of platelets, erythrocytes and block the permeability of cell membranes. EMR also affects the hematopoietic organs, disabling the entire system for the formation of blood components.

The body reacts to such violations by throwing out an additional portion of adrenaline. However, this does not help, and the body continues to produce high doses of the stress hormone. This "behavior" results in the following:

• disruption of the heart muscle
• deterioration of myocardial conduction,
• an arrhythmia occurs
• BP jumps.

EMR and the reproductive system

It was found that the female reproductive organs - the ovaries - are more susceptible to the effects of electromagnetic radiation. However, men are not immune from this kind of influence. In general, this gives a decrease in sperm motility, their genetic weakness, therefore X chromosomes dominate, and more girls are born. It is also very likely that EMR will cause genetic pathologies leading to deformities and birth defects.

Effect of EMR on children and pregnant women

EMF affects children's brains in a special way due to the fact that their body-to-head ratio is larger than that of an adult. This explains the higher conductivity of the medulla. Therefore, electromagnetic waves penetrate deeper into the child's brain. The older the baby becomes, the thicker the bones of his skull, the content of water and ions decreases, therefore, the conductivity also decreases.

Developing, growing tissues are most affected by EMR. A child under the age of 16 is just actively growing, so the risk of pathologies from strong magnetic exposure during this period of a person’s life is the highest.

As for pregnant women, EMF poses a threat to both their fetus and their health. Therefore, it is desirable to minimize the influence of the electromagnetic field on the body, even in acceptable "portions". For example, when pregnant, her entire body, including the fetus, is exposed to a slight EMR. How all this will affect later, whether it will accumulate and give consequences, no one can say for sure. But why test scientific theories on yourself? Isn't it easier to meet people in person and have long conversations than to chat on a mobile phone incessantly?

Add to this that the embryo is much more sensitive than the mother's body to different kind influences. Therefore, EMT can make pathological "adjustments" to its development at any stage.

The period of increased risk refers to the early stages of fetal development, when stem cells "decide" what they will be in adulthood.

Can EMP exposure be reduced?

The danger of the influence of the electromagnetic field on the human body lies in the invisibility of this process. Therefore, the negative effect can accumulate for a long time, and then it is also difficult to diagnose. However, there are some simple steps you can take to protect yourself and your family from the damaging effects of EMFs.

Completely "turning off" electromagnetic radiation is not an option, and it will not work. But you can do the following:

• identify devices that create this or that EMF,
• purchase a special dosimeter,
• turn on electrical appliances in turn, and not all at once: mobile phone, computer, microwave oven, TV should work at different times,
• do not group electrical appliances in one place, distribute them so that they do not amplify each other's EMF,
• do not place these devices near the dining room, work table, places of rest, sleep,
• children's room is subject to close monitoring for EMP sources, do not allow radio-controlled or electric toys, tablet, smartphone, laptop,
• the socket to which the computer is connected must be grounded,
• the radiotelephone base creates a stable magnetic field around itself within a radius of 10 meters, remove it from the bedroom and desktop.

It is difficult to refuse the blessings of civilization, and it is not necessary. To avoid the destructive influence of EMR, it is enough to be thoughtful about what electrical appliances you surround yourself with and how to place them at home. The leaders in terms of EMF intensity are microwave ovens, electric grills, devices with mobile communications - this just needs to be taken into account.

And finally, one more practical advice - when purchasing household appliances, give preference to those with a steel case. The latter is able to shield the radiation coming from the device, minimizing its impact on the body.

Ambient modern man the world is filled with electromagnetic fields (EMFs) of various origins. They are created by both natural objects and those made by human hands.

The main natural sources of radiation are:

• Earth's own EMF;
• solar radio emission;
• atmospheric phenomena associated with electricity.

Artificial sources of waves are:

• transformer substations;
• high-voltage power lines with voltage up to 1150 kV;
• power plants;
• household electrical equipment, for example: computers, laptops, electric kettles, televisions, washing machines, refrigerators, microwave ovens, hair dryers, electric ovens;
• hand power tools: screwdrivers, perforators, drills, electric saws, electric jigsaws and others;
• electrical wiring in a house or apartment;
• machine tools powered by electricity;
• television towers and radiotelephone nodes;
• installations for radar;
• Wi-Fi equipment, such as towers;
• wireless means of communication: walkie-talkies, mobile phones;
• transmitting antennas;
• industrial equipment and installations operating on electricity;
• electric transport: trams, electric trains, trolleybuses.

How an electromagnetic field affects a person does not depend on the source, but is determined by its intensity, frequency, energy. At the same time, the nature of the distribution of waves inside the premises is associated with the placement of objects and structures, the degree of their conductivity. Their frequency determines the penetrating properties.

The fields from the considered sources are static and variable. Their intensity is determined by the power of the source. Each variety has some features associated with the nature of the impact on living organisms.

The impact of EMF on human health

The impact of electromagnetic fields on the human body is associated with the polarization of molecules (for example, water) that make up human body. At the same time, they are guided along the EMF lines of force. As a result, the normal course of physical and chemical processes and the passage of nerve impulses are disturbed. Radiation of a variable nature also leads to heating of the tissues of the human body.

But the phenomena considered in the organism arise only at a certain magnitude of the field intensity and some time after the onset of their action. An important factor also is the individual sensitivity of each person, which allows to endure the negative impact in different ways. Especially susceptible to changes in the electromagnetic background are children with the elderly, people with poor health.

If the field strength norms (at a certain frequency) are exceeded, then the polarization mechanism primarily affects the organs containing the largest percentage of water. Overheating is dangerous to all living tissues. Therefore, the effect of EMF affects to one degree or another on all body systems:

• the nervous system usually reacts with the first appearance of migraines, fatigue, irritability, impaired memory, sleep, attention, coordination of movements, depression;
• immunity decreases, the number of leukocytes in the blood decreases, while chronic diseases worsen, the body becomes susceptible to respiratory infections;
• the value of arterial pressure rises, which eventually leads to arrhythmias;
• the level of sugar in the blood fluctuates, the work of the entire hematopoietic system is disrupted;
• the lens of the eye becomes cloudy;
• the functioning of the endocrine system worsens: there are failures in the production of the main hormones (adrenal glands, pituitary gland, thyroid gland);
• both men and women can become infertile;
• during pregnancy, the likelihood of miscarriage increases, as well as malformations of the fetus;
• the lens of the eye becomes cloudy;
• there is increased fragility of the nails;
• long-term exposure alters DNA.

If the nervous system is severely affected, then there are crazy ideas, hallucinations, the adaptive capabilities of the individual are falling. At the organic level, changes can lead to oncological diseases such as brain cancer.

Due to the total electrification, there was an increase in the negative impact of fields of electromagnetic nature on people. In medicine, a special term "radio wave disease" appeared. Experts believe that already a third of the population of developed countries is affected by the symptoms of this disease. But due to the commonality of symptoms with other diseases, the diagnosis of radio wave disease is difficult.

Existing emission standards, their control

Electromagnetic fields and their influence on the human body are studied by a whole area - electromagnetic safety. During the research, the maximum permissible radiation values ​​(in different frequency ranges) were established, the excess of which causes a deterioration in people's health, indicating the need for protective measures.

All radiation is divided by frequency into the ranges presented in the table below. And also it contains the maximum allowable field strength values ​​that are not dangerous to humans.

Mobile communications, television and radio broadcasting operate in the microwave range.

On the territory of Russia, the maximum levels of EMF intensity are regulated by sanitary and hygienic norms and rules. Control functions are performed by representatives of sanitary supervision, and at enterprises there are also labor protection specialists.

The maximum dose of electromagnetic radiation that a person can tolerate without harm to health is 0.2 μT according to the standards.

Reducing the negative impact of electromagnetic waves

The main protective measures that reduce to minimum level the influence of the electromagnetic field on the human body is:

• construction of houses outside the sanitary protection zones of high-voltage lines;
• passive, active or complex shielding of a radiating source;
• proper placement of furniture and electrical appliances in the room;
• the use of modern advanced equipment, with a reduced level of radiated power;
• reduction of time spent in the area of ​​the field;
• creation of a grounding system.

Shielding the workplace either is the most reliable method. In this case, the screens are divided into absorbing and reflective. The last variety is made of metal sheets or mesh, which must be grounded.

It will also help to reduce the degree of exposure to a decrease in communication on a mobile phone.

To accurately determine the electromagnetic background at home, it is enough to use a dosimeter. With it, you can easily identify the most dangerous equipment in terms of radiation level in order to use it less. And also the device will allow you to optimally position the devices so that the fields emanating from them are not amplified by mutual overlap.

Electricity brought comfort and entertainment to everyday life, made it possible to create coziness, made life easier. At the same time, it increased to dangerous level electromagnetic fields, which adversely affects the health of people. The simplest measures considered will help change the situation for the better. When purchasing household electrical equipment and tools, you should give preference to products High Quality from famous brands while avoiding fakes.

The biological effects of EMR exposure can manifest themselves in various forms: from minor functional changes to disorders that indicate the development of an obvious pathology. Cause biological EMP exposure on the body - the absorption of electromagnetic wave energy by tissues.

In general, the absorption of EMR energy depends on the oscillation frequency and electrical and magnetic properties environment. The shorter the wavelength and the higher the frequency of oscillations, the more energy carries a quantum of electromagnetic radiation. The relationship between energy Y and oscillation frequency f (wavelength λ) is defined as

where c is the speed of electromagnetic waves, m/s (in air c = 3*10 8),

h - Planck's constant, equal to 6.6 * 10 34 W / cm 2.

With equal EMR characteristics, the absorption coefficient in tissues with a high water content is about 60 times higher than in tissues with a low content.

A consequence of the absorption of EMR energy is the thermal effect. Excess heat released in the human body is removed by increasing the load on the thermoregulation mechanism. Starting from a certain limit, the body cannot cope with the removal of heat from individual organs, and their temperature may rise. Exposure to electromagnetic radiation is especially harmful to tissues with an underdeveloped vascular system or insufficient blood circulation (eyes, brain, kidneys, stomach, gallbladder and bladder). Eye exposure can cause clouding of the lens (cataract). In addition to cataracts, exposure to EMR can cause corneal burns.

The thermal effect depends on the intensity of irradiation. The threshold intensities of the thermal effect of EMF on the animal's body decrease with an increase in the frequency of EMF. For example, the threshold energy flux density for the UHF range is 40 µW/cm 2 , and for the microwave range it is 10 µW/cm 2 . EMF with an intensity less than the threshold does not have a thermal effect on the body, but according to a number of theories it has a specific non-thermal effect. Data relating to the non-thermal effects of electromagnetic radiation on humans, on this moment are not complete. This is due to the lack of clear criteria for this impact, accessible to direct instrumental control.

The degree and nature of the impact of EMR on the human body is determined by the frequency of radiation, the duration of exposure, the intensity of the EMF, the size of the irradiated surface, and the individual characteristics of a person.

For long-term exposure to EMI of various frequency ranges at moderate intensity (above MPD) characteristic is the development of functional disorders in the central nervous system with mildly pronounced shifts in endocrine-metabolic processes and blood composition. In this regard, headaches, a decrease or increase in blood pressure, neuropsychiatric disorders, and the rapid development of fatigue may appear. Possible hair loss, brittle nails, weight loss. There are changes in the excitability of the visual, vestibular, olfactory analyzers. On early stage the changes are reversible, with continued exposure to EMR, a persistent decrease in performance occurs.

In emergency situations and extremely high levels of EMP acute disorders occur, accompanied by cardiovascular disorders with fainting, a sharp increase in heart rate and a decrease in blood pressure.

electromagnetic radiation, whose levels do not exceed the MPC, but exceed the background ones, can be considered as a stress factor. Under the influence of such electromagnetic radiation, significant functional changes in the state of the cardiovascular and nervous systems are noted. Subjectively, a person has increased irritability, fatigue, headaches, sleep and memory disorders. In this regard, cell phones and computers, as well as various household radio-electronic and electrical appliances, have recently been of particular concern to specialists in the field of electromagnetic security.

Within the radio wave range, the highest activity of the microwave field has been proven compared to HF and UHF.

ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION AND ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS - INVISIBLE KILLERS

We were taught at school that labor turned a monkey into a man, and scientific and technological progress is the engine of all mankind. It would seem that with its movement, the quality and quantity of years lived by a person should improve. In fact, the deeper NTP enters our life, the harder it is for us to live and the more often people encounter previously unknown diseases that appear and develop in direct progression along with technological progress. Let's not dispute that the benefits of civilization are bad. Let's talk about hidden threat for man and his descendants - electromagnetic radiation.

Research scientists for recent decades show that electromagnetic radiation is no less dangerous than atomic radiation. Electromagnetic smog, interacting with the electromagnetic field of the body, partially suppresses it, distorting the own field of the human body. This leads to a decrease in immunity, disruption of informational and cellular exchange within the body, and the emergence of various diseases. It has been proven that even a relatively weak level of long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation can cause cancer, memory loss, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, impotence, destruction of the lens of the eye, and a decrease in the number of red blood cells. Electromagnetic fields are especially dangerous for pregnant women and their children. Electromagnetic radiation contributes to sexual dysfunction in men and reproductive disorders in women.

Safe for human health, the limit of the intensity of electromagnetic fields was established by American and Swedish scientists - (0.2 μT). Eg, washing machine- 1 μT, microwave oven (at a distance of 30 cm) - 8 μT, vacuum cleaner - 100 μT, and when the train leaves for the metro - 50-100 μT.

For a long time scientists have been talking about negative impact on the children's body of electromagnetic fields (EMF). Since the size of the head of a child is smaller than that of an adult, the radiation penetrates deeper into those parts of the brain that, as a rule, are not irradiated in an adult. This applies to mobile phones, which simply expose the brain to "local" overheating. Experiments on animals confirmed that with an increase in doses of high-frequency radiation, literally welded areas formed in their brains. Research by US scientists has proven that the signal from the phone penetrates the brain to a depth of 37.5 mm, which interferes with the functioning of the nervous system.

Growing and developing tissues are most susceptible to the adverse effects of the electromagnetic field. It is also biologically active in relation to embryos. A pregnant woman working at a computer is exposed to EMF almost the entire body, including the developing fetus. By the way, those who think that portable computers are practically safe are mistaken. Think well about negative consequences their impact, before placing the laptop on the stomach or knees. Yes, liquid crystal screens do not have an electrostatic field and do not carry x-rays, but a cathode ray tube is not the only source of electromagnetic radiation. Fields can be generated by a supply voltage converter, control circuits and information generation on discrete liquid crystal screens, and other equipment elements.

SO HARMFUL OR NOT?

Speaking of EMF, one cannot fail to mention Wi-Fi. On the Internet, you can read many articles about this: “Wi-Fi networks are dangerous to health”, “Wi-Fi adversely affects the human body?”, “Radiation WiFi networks harms trees, scientists say”, “Is Wi-Fi technology harmful to children?”.

In the US, examples are known when parents sued because of the Wi-Fi installed in schools and universities. Parents' fears that wireless networks cause irreparable harm to the health of children and adolescents, having a destructive effect on a growing organism, are not unfounded. Wi-Fi, for example, operates on the same frequency as a microwave oven. For a person, such a frequency is not at all as harmless as it seems. Behind Lately Approximately 20,000 studies have been published. They prove the fact that Wi-Fi negatively affects the health of mammals, in particular, human health. Migraines, colds, joint pains, but the most common diseases caused by Wi-Fi include cancer, heart failure, dementia, and memory impairment. In the US, UK and Germany, Wi-Fi is increasingly being phased out in schools, hospitals and universities. The reason for the refusal is called harm to human health. Today, there is no official verdict in the case of Wi-Fi, as was the case with the recognition of the harm of WHO mobile phones, in the case of Wi-Fi. After all, the revealed truth will bring considerable losses to those who are not interested in this. As the saying goes: "The salvation of a drowning man is the work of the drowning man himself." And the right reader who, after reading an article about the dangers of Wi-Fi, wrote: "In the end, everyone decides why he gets sick."

EXCLUDING NEGATIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC INFLUENCE OF WI-FI

The impact of Wi-Fi on the human body, unlike a mobile phone, is not so noticeable. But if you still use wireless technologies to connect to the Internet or a corporate network on an ongoing basis, give them up. Better spend yourself a regular twisted pair. Try to reduce usage time wireless networks of any kind. Do not keep a source of electromagnetic radiation close to the body. Minimize the amount of time you use mobile phone or bluetooth headset. Use a wired connection. If you are pregnant - try to stay as far away from wireless networks as possible. So far, no one has proven the harm of Wi-Fi exposure to pregnant women. But who knows how these know-how will affect the body of the future baby? After all real love to a child is not to buy another toy or beautiful clothes, but to raise a child strong and healthy.

In the medical center "Paracelsus" you can undergo a diagnosis of the impact of electromagnetic influences on your body. At the same time, the equipment makes it possible to differentiate the types of electromagnetic influences - technogenic, geopathogenic, radioactive, to determine the degree of electromagnetic load (only 4 degrees) and effectively neutralize this negative effect on the body.
