Electromagnetic radiation causes serious illness. How to reduce the harm of electromagnetic radiation

Nowadays there is a lot of talk about electromagnetic radiation, to which any modern person is inevitably exposed, especially a resident of a 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 interaction occurs between electrically charged particles, a kind of intangible wave propagating in a medium, consisting of an electric and magnetic component.

Sources that create an electromagnetic field can be either natural or artificial.

Natural sources of electromagnetic radiation include the constant electric and constant magnetic field of the Earth, electrical phenomena in the atmosphere (thunderstorms, lightning strikes), radio emission from the sun and stars, and cosmic radiation.

Artificial sources of electromagnetic fields 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 highest; as the distance from the source increases, the radiation level decreases.

High level EMR sources:

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

Sources of relatively low EMR levels:

• personal computers and video display terminals, slot 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;
• power supply system for buildings.

The human body reacts both to changes in the natural geomagnetic field and to the effects of electromagnetic radiation from numerous and varied man-made sources. The body's response may vary as EMR exposure increases or decreases, in some cases leading to significant changes in health and genetic consequences.

Experimental data from both domestic and foreign researchers indicate 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, the intensity of EMF, the duration and frequency of exposure, combined and total exposure to EMF and other factors. The combination of the indicated parameters can produce significantly different consequences in the body’s response.

The localization of exposure is no less important - general or local, since with general exposure the risk of negative consequences is higher. For example, the impact from power lines is general for the entire body, and the impact from a cell phone is local (on certain areas of the human body).

The effect of interaction of EMF with the biological environment depends on the radiation dose. It is based on the conversion of field energy into heat; the mechanism that carries out this transformation causes rotation (movement) 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.

This 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 under conditions of long-term exposure accumulates over many years, resulting in the development of long-term consequences, including degenerative processes of the central nervous system, blood cancer (leukemia), brain tumors, and hormonal diseases.

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

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, weakened memory, and sleep disturbances. Often these symptoms are accompanied by disorders of autonomic functions (breathing, nutrition, gas exchange, excretory function), and various disorders of the cardiovascular system. Typically, these changes occur in people who, due to the nature of their work, were constantly exposed to EMR with a fairly high intensity (power lines, electric vehicles, transformer substations, etc.).

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

In the vast majority of cases, exposure occurs to fields of relatively low levels (fields from industrial frequency objects: 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 grounds to classify the nervous system as one of the most sensitive systems in the human body to the effects of EMFs. In people who have contact with EMF, higher nervous activity changes and memory deteriorates. These individuals may be prone to developing stress reactions, such as headaches, constant fatigue, sudden mood swings, depression, skin rashes, sleep disturbances, and loss of appetite.

The nervous system of the embryo exhibits high sensitivity to EMF. The risk of disruption of the development of the fetal nervous system increases.

Effect of EMF on the immune system. When exposed to EMF, the processes of immune formation are disrupted, more often in the direction of their inhibition. A change in protein metabolism may occur, and a certain change in blood composition is observed. It is possible for the body to form antibodies directed against its own tissues.

Effect of EMF on the endocrine system. The works of Soviet scientists back in the 1960s showed that when exposed to EMF, as a rule, the most important endocrine gland located in the brain, the pituitary gland, was stimulated. 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 less well to the physical factors of the external environment (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 cause 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. Your workplace safety engineer should inform you about the electromagnetic safety standards for your workplace. First of all, women working in industries that service powerful sources of electromagnetic radiation - antennas, locators, electrical substations, as well as in industries with a large amount of equipment (machines, etc.) should take care of safety.

How can you protect your family from such negative impacts? Firstly, we should not forget that all the described studies and the negative consequences of exposure to EMF 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 cumulative exposure from several sources. The general rule for all harmful effects is to weaken them as much as possible, minimize the number of sources of exposure, and reduce the exposure time.

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 must be a sanitary protection zone around the sources of the electromagnetic field; if necessary, measures must be taken to reduce the electric field strength in residential buildings and in places where people may 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; summer cottages and garden plots; arrange parking areas for all types of transport; locate automobile service businesses.

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

Be careful, power lines! Stay away from high voltage power lines. First of all, a sanitary protection zone should be designated around sources of industrial frequency electromagnetic fields. The size of this zone is determined by law and is set depending on the voltage running along the power line, from 10 to 55 m. Since it is difficult for the average person to determine what the voltage of a particular power line is, it is best not to approach them closer than 55 m, or even better - stay within a radius of 100-150 m. At the same time, you should not be afraid of power lines running along the roads, since all studies indicate the dangers of long-term exposure to EMFs. So you shouldn’t sunbathe in a forest clearing under a power line and have a picnic there with your children. There is no need to cultivate beds directly below the line or within a radius of 150 m and arrange garden plots there. After all, the permissible time spent in the zone of influence of EMF 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 the sanitary protection zone of power lines, invite specialists from accredited laboratories to take measurements and determine a safe zone for long-term stay of people.

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

Television towers and transmitting radio engineering objects of various types. The same golden rule applies - we avoid it. It should be noted that these objects, as a rule, have a sanitary protection zone much larger 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 in the driver’s cabins and near the edge of the platform. Therefore, when waiting for an electric train or metro train, it is better to move away from the edge of the platform.

Appliances . Since electrical wiring stretches everywhere like a spider's web in our homes, we constantly use household appliances, we need to remember simple safety rules: move away the radiation source, 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 create an electromagnetic storm. Use household appliances separately whenever possible. For example, when vacuuming, turn off the TV.

After placing the food in the microwave to heat it up and pressing the “start” button, you can retreat to the room and wait a couple of minutes there with your baby while the food warms up.

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

During cleaning, we usually hold the vacuum cleaner by the hose and in the process we move quite far (more than 1 m) away from the very radiating body of the vacuum cleaner.

The compressor emitting element of a conventional refrigerator is also located far enough from us to harm us. But if necessary, you can place the dining table at a distance of more than 1 m from the refrigerator.

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

Being within 2 m of a running washing machine is unsafe from a radiation point of view - and it doesn’t matter what the person is doing at that moment. Taking a shower or bath while the washing machine is running in the bathroom is also unsafe from an electrical safety point of view. When connecting the washing machine, grounding conditions must be observed; this and all 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.

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

It is important to watch TV at a distance of 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.

Electrical wiring. It is better if the electrical wiring is shielded, i.e. made using special shielded cables that have additional windings that prevent EMR from spreading outward, and runs along the floor at a distance of 1-1.5 m from the floor, being exactly at the level of the head of a sleeping person. You should not place sockets with sconces constantly plugged in at the head of the bed. It is recommended that the bed for night rest be kept as far as possible from sources of prolonged exposure; the distance to distribution cabinets and power cables should be 2.5-3 m, even if they are located behind the wall. Therefore, when arranging furniture, look at the house drawings from the developer when entering a new building or from the management company for houses that have been put into operation. If it is necessary to install heated floors, it is recommended to choose electrical systems with a reduced level of magnetic field and multi-level insulation of the cable heating element or a water heated floor system. To make the right choice, you need to compare the technical characteristics of the product.

Elevator . When the elevator operates, a very high intensity electromagnetic field is created. If possible, you should choose an apartment as far away from the elevator as possible. If such an opportunity does not arise, then you need to understand which room and the wall in this room the elevator borders. Don’t place a bed near this wall, don’t organize a workplace - arrange a green corner there, for example.

Radio and cell phones. The harmful effects of EMR generated by both mobile and conventional radiotelephones depend on the power of the phone. More powerful phones have a more negative impact. There are studies that show an increased risk of brain cancer with cell phone abuse (more than 3-5 minutes of continuous talk, more than 30 minutes a day). Other studies show increased fatigue and nervousness. But in the modern world, a mobile phone has long become a necessity. Therefore, simple rules are proposed to minimize the impact of electromagnetic radiation from 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 source of radiation. You should not use your cell phone as an alarm clock or place it nearby while you sleep; it is better to turn it off or keep it away. It is better to carry a mobile phone in a bag rather than in a pocket.

Personal computers. Video display terminals. When arranging computers in the office, keep in mind that radiation comes not only from the monitor, but also from the system unit. If the PCs are located next to each other, 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 panel of any monitor, since it is maximum there. It is important to choose a high-quality modern monitor that meets all safety standards. From an EMR point of view, an 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 located as far as possible from you. Do not leave your computer turned on for long periods of time when you are not using it. Also remember to use the "sleep mode" for the monitor, since the radiation in this case is less.

Try to take breaks during 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, EMFs are successfully used in medicine for the treatment of many diseases, for example, various tumors, varicose veins, hypertension, treatment of diseases of the ENT and respiratory organs, for cosmetic purposes, for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the muscles, joints, peripheral nervous system, and in the treatment of bruises , fractures, spinal osteochondrosis, gynecological and urological diseases and many others. Therefore, the main thing is to be prudent and exercise caution.

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

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

Electromagnetic radiation is produced by objects capable of exciting electromagnetic waves.

The emitted wavelength may vary depending on the type.

Types of radiation:

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

X-rays and ultraviolet radiation, passing through tissues, have a damaging effect. Infrared radiation heats and accelerates chemical reactions in the cell. Radio waves are absorbed by human skin, which leads to heat loss.

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

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

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

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

However, the average user is not in danger of espionage. It is much more important to remember that the most powerful emitter of a computer is the monitor, and to stay at a safe distance from it.

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

The source of radiation changes the normal frequency of organ function, causing it to work harder or, conversely, suppressing activity. For example, if the heart rate increases by one and a half times, this will lead to angina pectoris.

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

To date, there is no protection against electromagnetic influence. Some companies tried to speculate on protective materials, but in practice they turned out to be useless.

The effect of electromagnetic radiation is negative on all living organisms. The very first systems that are damaged in humans are the nervous, immune, endocrine, and reproductive systems. They have one common property - intensive cell division, constant tissue renewal. The harm of electromagnetic radiation is due to changes in the cell cycle. Absorbed by tissues, it increases the reaction rate in the cell.

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

The most dangerous thing is not one-time exposure, but constant exposure to electromagnetic smog. Common signs of EMR damage to the body are headache, chronic fatigue syndrome, disruption of the thyroid gland and other endocrine organs. Decrease in brain functions, its degeneration. As a result - malignant tumors, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.

The radiation intensity of electrical appliances varies. Accordingly, so does the harm caused. Let's consider in descending order of the danger of electromagnetic radiation:

So, first of all:

• computers and laptops;
• microwave;
• power lines (power lines).

• electric stove;
• washing machine;
• fridge;
• mobile phone;
• TV;
• vacuum cleaner;
• fluorescent lamps.

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

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

You won’t be able to neutralize electromagnetic radiation, and most likely, you won’t be able to eliminate household electrical appliances from your life either. This means that all that remains is to observe “safety precautions”.

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

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

TVs, refrigerators and washing machines produce noise per meter.

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

Modern smartphones have different intensities of electromagnetic radiation. In the specifications for the device, this parameter is called SAR. SAR determines the electromagnetic field energy absorbed by human tissue in one second. It is measured in watts per kilogram. In the USA, a value of 1.6 W/kg for 1 gram of tissue is considered safe. However, third-party research by scientists claims that the real SAR parameter is several times higher than that indicated in the characteristics of the gadget. The latest models of iPhones (7 and 7 plus) have SAR close to the normal limit.

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

The harm from electromagnetic radiation can be reduced by staying at a safe distance from the devices while they are operating.

This distance is different for each emitter. The closer you are to an electrical appliance, the more radiation you receive. It is important to remember the property of electromagnetic waves to penetrate walls. By correctly placing radiation sources in your apartment, you will not be protected from your neighbors’ electrical appliances. But there is a way out here too. Using a device that measures the electromagnetic field, you can find the optimal location for your furniture.

Biological effects from exposure to EMR can manifest themselves in various forms: from minor functional changes to disorders indicating the development of obvious pathology. The reason for the biological effect of EMR on the body is the absorption of electromagnetic wave energy by tissues.

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

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

h is 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 approximately 60 times higher than in tissues with a low content.

The 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. After a certain limit, the body cannot cope with the removal of heat from individual organs, and their temperature may increase. Exposure to EMR is especially harmful to tissues with an underdeveloped vascular system or insufficient blood circulation (eyes, brain, kidneys, stomach, gallbladder and bladder). Exposure to the eyes can cause clouding of the lens (cataract). In addition to cataracts, corneal burns are possible when exposed to EMR.

The thermal effect depends on the intensity of irradiation. The threshold intensity of the thermal effect of EMF on the animal's body decreases with increasing frequency of EMF. For example, the threshold energy flux density for the UHF range is 40 μW/cm 2 , and for the microwave range – 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 regarding the non-thermal effects of electromagnetic radiation on humans are currently incomplete. This is due to the lack of clear criteria for this impact that are accessible to direct instrumental control.

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

For long-term exposure to EMR of various frequency ranges at moderate intensity (above MPL) The development of functional disorders in the central nervous system with mildly pronounced changes in endocrine metabolic processes and blood composition is considered characteristic. In this regard, headaches, a decrease or increase in blood pressure, neuropsychiatric disorders, and rapid development of fatigue may appear. Possible hair loss, brittle nails, weight loss. Changes in the excitability of the visual, vestibular, and olfactory analyzers are observed. At an 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 EMR acute disorders occur, accompanied by cardiovascular disorders with fainting, a sharp increase in heart rate and a decrease in blood pressure.

Electromagnetic radiation, the levels of which do not exceed the maximum permissible level, but exceed the background ones, can be considered as a stress factor. When exposed to such EMR, significant functional changes in the state of the cardiovascular and nervous systems are observed. Subjectively, a person experiences increased irritability, fatigue, headaches, sleep disorders, and memory problems. In this regard, recently, experts in the field of electromagnetic safety have been particularly concerned about cell phones and computers, as well as various household radio-electronic and electrical appliances.

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

Modern science has 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 the environment and living organisms? Let's find out how electromagnetic radiation acts on 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. The influence of the electromagnetic field on various functions of a wide variety of living organisms was stable. This applies both to its simplest representatives and to the most highly organized creatures.

However, as humanity “matured,” the intensity of this background began to continuously increase 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) arose. 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 action of electromagnetic fields on a living organism, and what could be the consequences?

In search of an answer, we will have to accept the concept that a person not only has a material body consisting of an unimaginably complex combination of atoms and molecules, but also has another component - an electromagnetic field. It is the presence of these two components that ensures a person’s connection 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 vibrations, so the changes they cause can be very diverse. The nature of the consequences is influenced not only by the frequency, but also by the intensity, as well as the time of exposure. Some frequencies cause thermal and informational effects, others have a destructive effect at the cellular level. In this case, decomposition products can cause poisoning of the body.

Electromagnetic radiation turns into a pathogenic factor if its intensity exceeds the maximum permissible norms for humans, 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. When the intensity of electromagnetic radiation exceeds the specified values, negative health effects are very likely. The actual voltage values ​​of the power line are 5–6 times less than the dangerous value.

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, changes occur in all the most important systems in his body. 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, poor concentration, depression - are not particularly specific, so diagnosing this disease is difficult.

However, later 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, let’s consider its effect on different systems of the body.

The human nervous system is very sensitive to electromagnetic effects. Nerve cells of the brain (neurons) as a result of the “interference” of external fields deteriorate their conductivity. This can provoke severe and irreversible consequences for the person himself and his environment, since the changes affect the holy of holies - higher nervous activity. But it is she who is responsible for the entire system of conditioned and unconditioned reflexes. In addition, memory deteriorates, coordination of brain activity with the work of all parts of the body is disrupted. Mental disorders, including delusions, hallucinations and suicide attempts, are also very likely. Violation of the body's adaptive ability is fraught with exacerbation of chronic diseases.

Blood quality plays a paramount role in human health. What is the effect of electromagnetic radiation on blood? All elements of this life-giving liquid have certain electrical potentials and charges. Electrical and magnetic components that form electromagnetic waves can cause destruction or, conversely, adhesion of red blood cells, platelets, and cause obstruction of cell membranes. And their effect on the hematopoietic organs causes disruptions in the functioning of the entire hematopoietic system. The body's reaction 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 conductivity and can cause arrhythmia. The conclusion is not comforting - electromagnetic radiation has an extremely negative effect on the cardiovascular system.

One of the consequences of disorders in the nervous and endocrine systems is negative changes in the sexual sphere. If we evaluate the degree of influence of electromagnetic radiation on male and female sexual function, then the sensitivity of the female reproductive system to electromagnetic influences is much higher than that of men. Associated with this is the danger of affecting pregnant women. Pathologies of child development 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 embryo is still loosely attached to the placenta and an 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 of the genetic code - DNA.

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

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

Our everyday life includes more and more diverse technology that makes our lives easier and more beautiful. But the influence of electromagnetic radiation on humans is not a myth. The champions in terms of influence on humans are microwave ovens, electric grills, cell phones and some models of electric shavers. It is almost impossible to refuse these benefits of civilization, but we should always remember about the reasonable use of all the technology around us.

Electromagnetic field

The human body has its own electromagnetic field, like any organism on earth, thanks to which all the cells of the body work harmoniously. Human electromagnetic radiation is also called the biofield (its visible part is the aura). Do not forget that this field is the main protective shell of our body from any negative influence. By destroying it, the organs and systems of our body become easy prey for any pathogenic factors.

If our electromagnetic field begins to be affected by other sources of radiation, much more powerful than the radiation of our body, then chaos begins in the body. This leads to a dramatic deterioration in health.

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

As humanity “matured,” the intensity of this background began to continuously increase due to artificial man-made sources: overhead power transmission lines, household electrical appliances, radio relay and cellular communication lines, and so on. Our brain can be compared to a giant organic computer, inside of which the most complex bioelectric processes are constantly occurring. Exposure to a high-frequency external electromagnetic field cannot occur without consequences.

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

Экспериментальные исследования в этом направлении показали, что то у животных, облученных ЭМП, изменяется характер инфекционного процесса - течение инфекционного процесса отягощается. Есть основания считать, что при воздействии ЭМИ нарушаются процессы иммуногенеза, чаще в сторону их угнетения. Этот процесс связывают с возникновением аутоиммунитета. В соответствии с этой концепцией, основу всех аутоиммунных состояний составляет в первую очередь иммунодефицит по тимус-зависимой клеточной популяции лимфоцитов. Влияние ЭМП высоких интенсивностей на иммунную систему организма проявляется в угнетающем эффекте на Т-систему клеточного иммунитета.!}

Blood quality plays a paramount role in human health. What is the effect of electromagnetic radiation on blood? All elements of this life-giving liquid have certain electrical potentials and charges. Electrical and magnetic components that form electromagnetic waves can cause destruction or, conversely, adhesion of red blood cells, platelets, and cause obstruction of cell membranes. And their effect on the hematopoietic organs causes disruptions in the functioning of the entire hematopoietic system. The body's reaction 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 conductivity and can cause arrhythmia.

If we evaluate the degree of influence of electromagnetic radiation on male and female sexual function, then the sensitivity of the female reproductive system to electromagnetic influences is much higher than that of men.

Sources of electromagnetic radiation

Influence of electromagnetic radiation of various household appliances, μW/sq. cm (power flux density)

We should not forget that the source of electromagnetic radiation is any object that runs on electric current. Therefore, electrical wiring in the house, lamps, electric clocks, heaters and boilers are all sources of electromagnetic radiation. All of them have a negative impact on our health. The harm of electromagnetic radiation is equal to the harm of radiation and even more.

What type of radiation has the greatest penetrating power?

What range of electromagnetic radiation is the most dangerous? It's not that simple. The process of radiation and absorption of energy occurs in the form of certain portions - quanta. The shorter the wavelength, the more energy its quanta have and the more trouble it can cause once it enters the human body.

The most “energetic” quanta are those of hard X-ray and gamma radiation. The whole insidiousness of short-wave radiation is that we do not feel the radiation itself, but only feel the consequences of their harmful effects, which largely depend on the depth of their penetration into human tissues and organs.

What type of radiation has the greatest penetrating power? Of course, this is radiation with a minimum wavelength, that is:

X-ray;

And gamma radiation.

It is the quanta of these radiations that have the greatest penetrating power and, most dangerously, they ionize atoms. As a result, the likelihood of hereditary mutations arises, even with low doses of radiation.

Examples:

Router, also known as a router, is a network device that allows you to choose the optimal direction for transmitting data from the provider to computers, laptops and smartphones of users wirelessly. The absence of wired communication means the transmission of information through electromagnetic radiation. Since routers operate at ultra-high frequencies, the question is completely legitimate: is the radiation from a wifi router harmful?

When this frequency affects the cells of the human body, the molecules of water, fat and glucose come together and rub together, accompanied by an increase in temperature.

Such frequencies are provided by nature for the exchange of intracellular information between organs and systems of the body. Long-term, external exposure to this range from wireless local networks can cause dysfunction in the process of cell growth and division.

The harm of wifi radiation is aggravated by the radius and speed of data transmission. An excellent illustration of this fact is the enormous speed of transfer of a large amount of information when downloading videos, photographs and other data. The transmitting medium is air, and the carrier frequency is the mid-wave frequency range. And, since our cells are capable of transmitting and receiving energy at different frequencies, the negative impact of the router’s frequency range is quite acceptable.

Do not forget that the radiation power decreases in direct proportion to the increase in the square of the distance to the “culprit” of the radiation.

Telephone. Unlike other household appliances, a mobile phone is located almost close to the brain and eye during operation. Therefore, the negative impact of cell phone radiation on the human body is incomparably greater than the impact of, say, a computer or TV.

The radiation generated by the mobile handset is absorbed by the tissues of the head - brain cells, the retina of the eye and all visual and auditory structures.

How to reduce the negative impact of electromagnetic radiation

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

Note! We do not suggest that you give up using electrical appliances, transport and cellular communications. Today it is meaningless and will lead nowhere.

But today there is effective protection against electromagnetic radiation, which helps thousands of people stay healthy. This is especially true for children and pregnant women, on whom EMR has the most negative impact.

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

1. Buy a special dosimeter.

2. Turn on the microwave oven, computer, cell phone, etc. one by one, and measure the dose recorded by the device.

3. Distribute your existing radiation sources so that they are not grouped in one place.

4. Do not place electrical appliances near the dining table or rest areas.

5. Check the children's room especially carefully for sources of radiation, remove electric and radio-controlled toys from it.

6. Check for grounding in the computer socket.

7. The radiotelephone base emits 24 hours a day, its range is 10 meters. Don't keep your cordless phone in your bedroom or on your desk.

8. Do not purchase “clones” - fake cell phones.

9. Household electrical appliances should only be purchased in a steel case - it screens the radiation emanating from them.

Our everyday life includes more and more diverse technology that makes our lives easier and more beautiful. But the influence of electromagnetic radiation on humans is not a myth. The champions in terms of influence on humans are microwave ovens, electric grills, cell phones and some models of electric shavers. It is almost impossible to refuse these benefits of civilization, but we should always remember about the reasonable use of all the technology around us.
