Visible light refers to electromagnetic radiation. Depending on the wavelength, EMP can be divided into

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 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 electrical magnetic fields(EMP). 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 µm - 740 nm) are wide application in criminalistics, physiotherapy, for drying products or products;
  • optical radiation - 740 - 400 nm - visible to man light;
  • 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.

High level sources 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 EMP is used special device– 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 EMR intensity at which there is no harmful influence 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 malfunctions 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.

Considering that the average city dweller is constantly exposed to electromagnetic field, 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 arrhythmias, diabetes) and persistent viral respiratory infections.

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 it 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 allowable dose EMR during pregnancy leads to a negative effect 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 critical systems organism;
  • 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. It is not possible for most of us to completely abandon the use of electric current and the benefits of civilization, but the implementation of some recommendations will minimize the devastating health effects from the harmful effects of EMF.

At enterprises where a person is constantly forced to face 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 Negative influence 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.

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

Types of electromagnetic radiation

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

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

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

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

Sources of EMP

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

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

EMI measuring devices

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How does electromagnetic radiation affect a person?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The influence of electromagnetic waves on living organisms also has a large-scale effect through the circulatory system.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

EMP protection

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

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

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

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

Do not forget that electromagnetic radiation radio frequency range from means of communication constantly influence the fields of a person, as long as these devices are turned on. Therefore, before going to bed and during work, it is better to put them away.

Conclusion

All substances continuously emit electromagnetic waves. The radiation spectrum covers a wide range of wavelengths: from radio waves hundreds of meters long to hard cosmic radiation with a wavelength of 10-12m. The natural electromagnetic spectrum covers wavelengths from 0.00000000000001 meters to 100,000 kilometers. Thermal (infrared) radiation is emitted by bodies in a certain temperature range. The higher the body temperature, the shorter the wavelength and the higher the intensity of the radiation.

An infrared heater is ideal wherever you need to get local surface heating. Being completely harmless infrared heaters provide efficient heating.

In the process of life, a person is constantly in the zone of action of the electromagnetic (EM) field of the Earth. Such a field, called the background, is considered normal and does not cause any harm to human health.

Various "smart" machines (computers, cell phones, microwave ovens, televisions) that have become so firmly established in our lives are actually capable of doing a lot more harm to a person than it seems at first glance.

Extensive research on the impact of electromagnetic radiation on human health in the world was started in the 60s of the last century. A large clinical material has been accumulated on the adverse effects of magnetic and electromagnetic fields. Already at this time, it was proposed to introduce new diseases " radio wave sickness or Chronic Microwave Injury. Later, the work of scientists in Russia found that the most sensitive to the effects of electromagnetic fields is the human nervous system. The results of the work carried out were used in the development of sanitary regulations in Russia.

Therefore, consideration of the influence of electromagnetic radiation on the human body is relevant .

Target of our abstract: learn about the mechanism and consequences of exposure to electromagnetic radiation.

We set ourselves the following tasks :

analyze the literature on this issue;

identify the mechanism of radiation influence

describe the consequences of this impact.

Object of study is electromagnetic radiation.

The abstract was made on the basis of MOU with in-depth study of English language No. 120 Samara.


Fig.1 EMW range

Electromagnetic field (EMF) - the physical field of moving electric charges, in which the interaction between them is carried out. Particular manifestations of EMF are electric and magnetic fields. Since the changing electric and magnetic fields generate magnetic and electric fields, respectively, at neighboring points in space, these two interconnected fields propagate in the form of a single EMF. EMF are characterized by oscillation frequency f (or period T = 1/f), amplitude E (or H) and phase

, which determines the state of the wave process at each moment of time. The oscillation frequency is expressed in hertz (Hz), kilohertz (1 kHz = 10 3 Hz), megahertz (1 MHz = 10 6 Hz) and gigahertz (1x 10 9 Hz). The phase is expressed in degrees or relative units, multiples of . Oscillations of electric (E) and magnetic (H) fields, which make up a single EMF, propagate in the form of electromagnetic waves, the main parameters of which are wavelength (), frequency (f) and propagation velocity. Wave formation occurs in the wave zone at a distance greater from the source. In this zone, the waves change in phase. At shorter distances - in the induction zone - E - the waves change out of phase and rapidly decrease with distance from the source. In the induction zone, the energy alternately passes either into an electric or into a magnetic field. E and H are estimated separately. In the wave zone, radiation is estimated in terms of power flux density - watts per square centimeter. In the electromagnetic spectrum, EMFs occupy the radio frequency range (frequency from 3x104 to 3x1012 Hz) and are divided into several types (Fig. 1). AT extreme conditions, in particular, under conditions space flight EMF source various characteristics becomes radio and television equipment. At the core biological action EMF on a living organism is the absorption of energy by tissues. Its value is determined by the properties of the irradiated tissue or its biophysical parameters - dielectric constant () and conductivity. The tissues of the body, due to the high content of water in them, should be considered as dielectrics with losses. The depth of EMF penetration into tissues is the greater, the lower the absorption. With total body irradiation, the energy penetrates to a depth of 0.001 wavelength. Depending on the intensity of exposure and exposure, wavelength and the initial functional state of the body, EMFs cause changes in the studied tissues with or without an increase in their temperature.

Power lines, strong radio transmitting devices create an electromagnetic field that many times exceeds the permissible level. To protect humans, special sanitary standards have been developed (GOST 12.1.006-84 regulates the impact of electromagnetic radiation on humans), including those that prohibit the construction of residential and other facilities near strong radiation sources.

Often more dangerous are sources of weak electromagnetic radiation, which acts for a long period of time. These sources include mainly audio-video equipment, Appliances. The most significant influence on a person is Cell phones, microwave ovens, computers and TVs.

Telephones and microwave ovens operate mostly for a short time (on average from 1 to 7 minutes), TVs do not cause significant harm, because usually located at a distance from the audience. The problem of electromagnetic radiation emanating from personal computers is quite acute due to several reasons:

the computer has two radiation sources at once (monitor and system unit)

the PC user is practically deprived of the opportunity to work at a distance

very long exposure time

Game consoles, or set-top boxes that connect to a TV, can lead to even more serious consequences. The main problem in this case is that TVs emit a more powerful field, but children (the main category of set-top box users) cannot get far enough from the screen due to short wires, furniture arrangement, or the picture simply becomes very small. Of particular danger are old television receivers (domestic "Dawn", "Rubin") - their EM background is several times higher than that of modern world brands (Sony, LG, Panasonic, etc.). After 5-8 hours spent in front of such a TV (which is not uncommon in our families), the child is thrown into a fever, the temperature rises quickly, headache. In this case, children should be immediately taken out of the EM field, preferably outside. Symptoms quickly disappear after the EM radiation is stopped.

The frequency range of electromagnetic waves recorded at the present time extends from 0 to 3*10 22 Hz. This range corresponds to the spectrum of electromagnetic waves with a wavelength varying from 10-14 m to infinity. According to the wavelength, the spectrum of electromagnetic waves is conditionally divided into eight ranges. The difference in frequencies emitted in different ranges is due to the difference in microscopic radiation sources. The main sources of electromagnetic radiation in modern human life are:

electric transport - trams, trolleybuses, electric trains.

power lines - urban lighting, high-voltage lines.

household electrical appliances.

television and radio stations - broadcasting antennas.

satellite and cellular communication - broadcasting antennas.

personal computers.

Each of the listed sources creates electric and magnetic fields in a different frequency range from 0 to 1000 Hz. In this case, such values ​​​​of magnetic induction B, μT and electric field strength E, V / m are created, which in some cases far exceed the limit allowable norms(PDN).


EM waves change the workplace environment by filling the air with positively charged ions. Such ions are harmful to people, so the room must be ventilated, and the best solution would be to purchase a device known as the Chizhevsky Chandelier, currently there are quite a few modifications. Chizhevsky's chandelier is a source of negatively charged ions (better known to the people as the "mountain air effect"), which are beneficial to human health.

You don't see it, but that doesn't mean it's not there. Don't forget about the invisible killer. Avoid it where possible.

Electromagnetic fields (EMF)

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are a man-made and growing threat in modern world. We need to know what it is, what its sources are, and how it harms, in order to minimize negative health impacts as much as possible.
If you're thinking why, driving pretty healthy lifestyle life, you are still often sick, it turns out that you can be a victim of this silent killer.

There are two types of EMF - natural and man-made. We will be discussing here man-made EMFs, which pose a far greater threat to our health. They surround us, but we do not pay attention to the extent of the damage that they can cause to our health and the health of our children. it dark side technology and the price we have to pay for upgrades and amenities.

What is electromagnetic radiation (EMR)?

EMP is an invisible force that occurs when an electrical current passes through an electrical device. Electric and magnetic fields affect everything around them.

The field intensity changes with voltage. The higher the voltage, the stronger electric fields. The interaction between electricity and magnetic fields produces electromagnetic radiation (EMR).

The effects of electric fields can sometimes be felt. For example, a tingling sensation may be felt. However, the magnetic field passes through most things imperceptibly. It is an energy that takes the form of waves as it propagates outward from its source, much like the ripples on water that occur when a pebble falls into it. EMP travels through space at the speed of light, which is about 300 million meters per second, and it interacts with things in its path.

How EMF affect our health

We are actually also electro-magnetic beings, micro electric currents are generated by us and control our bodily functions such as growth, metabolism, thoughts, movements, etc. Violations in electrical network our body can cause malfunctions in our internal organs, especially the brain.

Exposure to a serial external frequency for several minutes can disrupt the electrical functionality of our body. This applies even to exposure to very weak EMFs.

Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to EMF can weaken the brain's defense mechanism and cause mental disorders such as depression, impaired concentration and insomnia. It also interferes with the body's natural healing process.

Our human bodies are very sensitive to EMF. When we interact with natural energies, we enhance the natural balance in our energy system. But when we are exposed to man-made EMFs that are unnatural for our body, they create a chaotic situation that is detrimental to our health. Our bodies absorb and store energy fields that weaken our immune system, leaving us susceptible to various diseases.

Some diseases associated with constant EMF exposure are headaches, chronic fatigue syndrome, memory loss, miscarriages, birth defects, leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors, and even cancer.

Electro-pollution: look at the dangers around you.

radio waves

Radio waves are the energy emitted by radio stations. All wireless technologies have their own frequency band, including remote controls, home alarm systems, cordless phones, cell phones, radios, toys with remote control, global positioning system (GPS), etc.

Radio waves can overheat the organs of our body without affecting the skin. The thermal effects of these devices have been proven to be very harmful, resulting in: headaches, sleep disturbance, impaired concentration, increased blood pressure, eye damage, especially when taking eye medications, childhood leukemia, the development of cancer cells in the brain, and much more. .

Cell Phone Precautions:

Avoid using mobile or cordless phones for extended periods if possible.

If you really must use the phone, don't talk for long and use the speakerphone.

Use an external speaker that allows you to keep your phone away from your head.

If you wear glasses, switch to plastic frames and non-metal accessories. The conductive material can serve as an antenna and send radio waves directly to your brain.

Television waves - extremely low frequency (ELF) waves

A TV emits EMF in all directions while it is on, not just when it is turned on. Larger screens can emit a stronger field, which can even penetrate walls. Other devices that emit ELF: computers, laser printers, copiers, electric blankets, electric clocks.

Some of the health risks from prolonged computer exposure are: miscarriages, low birth weight in newborns, vision and hearing problems, immune suppression, hyperactivity in young children, skin irritation, etc.
.
Precautions for using TVs and displays:

Move at least 24 inches away from the screen.

EMI travels from all sides of the computer, especially from the top and rear. Move at least three feet away from a computer that is in use.

Avoid working on the computer for more than two hours a day.

Turn off the power of your TV or computer when not in use.

Wear safety goggles if possible to reduce exposure ultraviolet radiation which can cause cataracts.

Put some live plants next to the computer. Leaves can absorb infrared radiation.

power plants

Power lines have very high voltages and emit electric and magnetic fields. How far is your home from power lines? The safe distance is about 1000 meters.

Substations can be located close to the house and they emit very strong magnetic fields. The farther your home is located from any power plants or transformer, the better.

Scientific studies have found a link between increased cancer rates and proximity to power lines. In another study, epidemiologist Dr. Nancy Wertheimer of the University of Colorado showed that children living near power lines were three times more likely to develop leukemia and cancer. Children are more susceptible to EMF exposure.

Many other studies have confirmed their findings and found an increased risk of leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors, brain cancer, and nervous system. There is also evidence of a connection between EMF and phenomena such as sudden death infants, fatigue, headaches, central nervous system disorder and exhaustion.

Dangers from the field of medicine

Diagnostic x-rays expose you to unnecessary radiation. A professor and director of medical physics in London wrote: "Medical exposure is by far the largest man-made contribution to the radiation burden of the population of developed countries."

X-rays

X-rays of ionizing radiation cause irreparable damage to our body. There is no such thing as a "safe" x-ray. X-rays have more energy than light waves, they can pass through the body. The radiation energy can cause damage to cells in the body, which increases the risk of cancer. Even if the risk is quite low, it increases with the number of x-rays you are exposed to during your lifetime.

CT scan (computed tomography) is a moving beam of x-rays that creates a three-dimensional image (for example, of the brain). And so the dose of radiation received is much higher than that of a standard x-ray. Young children undergoing such examinations are at much greater risk.

Mammography

Ionizing radiation in mammography puts the body at great risk. The dose of radiation received is 1000 times greater than that of a chest x-ray. Breast tissues are extremely susceptible to radiation. So you can see that mammograms can trigger the development of breast cancer, which women want to avoid by getting an annual mammogram! Avoid this at all costs.

Dangers in the house

Most household electrical appliances also emit EMF, but this is much less dangerous.

Here is some of them:

Fluorescent lamp. It emits EMP of visible and ultraviolet light. Prolonged exposure to a fluorescent lamp has been found to cause agglutination of red blood cells, decreased alertness, and feelings of fatigue. Always choose natural sunlight, if possible.

Electric clocks also emit electrical energy. Don't put them near your bed if possible.

Electric blankets create EMFs that can penetrate 6-7 inches into the body. Research linked electric blankets to miscarriages and childhood leukemia.

Other electrical appliances that emit low levels of EMF: hair dryer, electric shaver, vacuum cleaner, microwave oven, washing machine, dishwasher, refrigerator, etc.

Precautions you can take at home:

Grow houseplants. Plants are natural eco-friendly air purifiers and their leaves can absorb infrared radiation.

Use electrical appliances for brief periods. Turn off the power when not in use.

Remove all electrical appliances at least 6 meters from the bed.

Don't put your cell phone under your pillow as an alarm clock. It emits EMF even when not in use.

Limit the time your children spend in front of the TV and computers.

Minimize the use of electrical devices such as radios and microwaves. Turn off the power when not in use.

Prolonged exposure to electromagnetic radiation (from Wi-Fi, mobile phones) acts on a person as radiation. EMR affects the ability of young people to conceive and fertilize, and is one of the reasons for the birth of sick children and disabled children. The reason is long harmful effect 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 knees for a long time (several hours in a row), and are also 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.
Also, Wi-Fi adversely affects 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 currently using WiFi, it would be hard to believe that it is not safe for human health. 10 years ago, WiFi 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 mobile devices, such as smartphones, conventional mobile phones, laptops, tablet computers, as well as cameras, printers, modern TVs and a number of other devices, are equipped with WiFi wireless modules.

It would seem that WiFi connections should be safe. In fact, this is not true.

WiFi devices emit radio frequency or microwave radiation. Wireless routers (routers, modems) and wireless computers 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 consider it to be a potent environmental factors with catastrophic consequences for all life on Earth.

Per 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.), which around the clock, continuously irradiates residential premises, in which there are already refrigerators, irons, vacuum cleaners, electric furnaces, televisions, computers and much more that we daily plug into the socket.

The energy impact of electromagnetic radiation can be of varying degrees and strengths. From imperceptible to a person (which is observed most often) to a thermal sensation with high power radiation. Heavy-duty electromagnetic influences can disable 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, or it may lead to complete exhaustion with a functional change in brain activity and lethal outcome. 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 disease, reduced concentration, impotence, and even increased suicidal tendencies. The fields are especially dangerous for children and pregnant women.

Electromagnetic radiation contributes to a change in the hormonal status of the male body, an increase in the level of chromosomal aberrations (i.e. cause changes and mutations of chromosomes), cause changes in 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.

Constant 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 that Internet users turn on Wi-Fi only for use for a certain time, and turn it off when not needed. 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.

To avoid dangerous consequences pulsating radiation, it is recommended to turn off the Wi-Fi router at home at a time when you do not need the Internet - if it is turned on around the clock and without need, then its radiation is harmful and dangerous!

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.

One way to reduce the impact of electrosmog is to measure electromagnetic pollution with an EMF meter and avoid the radiation area. Scientists warn pregnant women to avoid using wireless devices and stay away from other Wi-Fi users and sources of radiation.

Antioxidant radiation protection and cell repair

Another effective way prevention - eating foods rich in proteins, amino acids, antioxidants. These substances are able to protect the body from the oxidizing effects of radiation and radiation, promote the growth and restoration of cells, and 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 an excellent product that protects 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 contains no artificial ingredients.+ Special herbs are included in this protein shake to help boost your metabolism.
In addition to the fact that this is a protein in its native form, in which the configuration of the protein molecule is natural and perfectly absorbed, the composition of this cocktail includes whey protein in three types: Whey Protein Isolate (digested in 30 minutes, very quickly), Whey Protein Concentrate + (digested 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.
