The influence of electromagnetic oscillations on a person. Impact of electromagnetic waves on human health

Waves, passing through a living organism, excite electrons in various chemical substances, which begin to destroy body tissues.

In the human body, a lot of electrochemical reactions are constantly taking place, during which different chemicals interact with each other. Such processes also take place at the level of "cellular respiration", when the cells of the body extract energy from these processes. This energy is necessary for the healthy life of a living organism.

The impact of electromagnetic waves violates the mechanisms of such "cellular respiration" in the tissues of the body, irradiates them. First of all, from negative radiation, those tissues in which the most active cell division occurs begin to collapse. These are: the thyroid gland, red bone marrow, gonads, mucous membranes in the gastrointestinal tract, etc. These organs of the body, body tissues are the most vulnerable and you need to know how to protect them from destructive influences.

Characteristics of electromagnetic waves, their sources

Waves have different ranges and different sources:

radar, radio navigation, etc.;
devices in physiotherapy rooms;
tube generators, transmitter units, antennas, especially in radio stations and television studios;
microwave fields, especially affecting the reflex functions of the body;
radio waves: decimeter waves affect the internal organs of the body, penetrating 10-15 cm deep;
illogically affect the waves of the UHF range;
waves of different frequencies: VHF, HF, HF, UHF, which propagate at almost the speed of light, create unwanted resonance.

In any room, the strength of the electromagnetic field depends on the power of the devices, on the degree of their shielding and on the presence of protective metal coatings.

Human health and electromagnetic radiation

The effect of electromagnetic waves on humans is still being studied. However, much is already known about such a negative, destructive effect on the body:

dysfunction of the thyroid gland leads to improper metabolism and the destruction of the hormonal background, which is especially dangerous for pregnant women, children and adolescents;
damage to the red bone marrow leads to the formation of cancerous brain tumors, leukemia. Anemiam;
damage to the sex glands leads to incurable infertility;
damage to the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract causes chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, even oncology.

Studies on the effect of electromagnetic waves on living organisms have shown that the destructive effect of these waves provokes the development of diseases, such as:

mammary cancer;
tumors in the brain;
Alzheimer's disease;
various leukemias;
diseases of the cardiovascular system;
destruction of the nervous system;
hormonal imbalance;
decrease in the level of immunity, etc.

Typical symptoms of the influence of electromagnetic waves on the human body:

permanent. frequent headaches;
high blood pressure;
various sleep disorders;
severe severe allergic reactions;
frequent colds and viral diseases;
obesity, overweight with a normal diet;
anorexia with normal nutrition;
heartburn, nausea, vomiting, etc.

Research into the effects of electromagnetic fields, the search for effective protection against their damaging effects continues.

Low frequency waves and human health

Low-frequency waves (infrasound) cause various kinds of vibrations in the body. The symptoms of exposure are as follows:

worried about nausea;
visual acuity decreases;
ringing in the ears;
upset digestion;
impaired brain function;
the work of the internal organs of a person is disrupted;
possible cardiac arrest, rupture of blood vessels, which leads to death.

Man does not hear these waves. The lower limit of the low-frequency range has not yet been determined. Infrasound in nature is found everywhere to a greater or lesser extent: in the noise of forests, in the surf, the rustle of waves, in a thunderstorm atmosphere, etc.

It is noteworthy that infrasound propagates even over very long distances and penetrates through the earth's crust. This ability of infrasound is used in predicting natural disasters - earthquakes, tsunamis, etc.

The influence of low-frequency waves on a person

Under the influence of infrasound, a person begins to show incomprehensible anxiety, seemingly groundless anxiety. Headaches begin to torment him, the level of attention, working capacity decreases, the vestibular apparatus does not work well.

Sources of low frequency radiation

These sources are:

public transport: trams, cars, buses, trolleybuses;
railway transport;
ventilation devices in industrial enterprises, in the subway;
aerodynamic, percussion installations in industry;
aircraft, especially jets.

This is only a part of infrasound sources of one or another power.

Infrasound and the human psyche

A person perceives these waves with almost his entire body. Science deals with the study of the possibility of influencing thoughts and feelings, emotions and behavior of a person. Some laboratories are trying to work with universal psychotronic weapons. Although medicine is already using devices that act on electromagnetic low-frequency waves: electric shock, ultrasound, infrasound, microwave radiation, lower threshold audiovisual stimulation, etc.

The most dangerous range for human health and psyche is 6-9 Hz, which includes a frequency of 7 Hz, which is absolutely consonant with the natural vibrations of the brain. By exposure to infrasound of these frequencies of different power, you can completely cripple a person, make him a clinical idiot, even kill him.

Ways to protect against infrasound

Even Julius Caesar fought against the noise, forbidding night travel through the streets in rumbling chariots. Since then, calls have been constantly made not to make noise or to make less noise, especially at night. Noise pollution of the environment is being tried to be reduced or completely eliminated in the development of new car engines, in the construction of roads, residential areas, special screens are installed along busy highways, protective forest belts are planted, and so on.

Methods and means of protection against electromagnetic radiation

Harmful radiation, electromagnetic fields that negatively affect the human body are practically everywhere in the modern world.

Tips for parents and children:

it is better not to give a mobile phone to a child under 10 years old;
older children are allowed to use only in the most necessary cases;
it is better for pregnant women not to use a computer or use it for a very short time and rarely, because radiation is the cause of the birth of children with congenital damage to the central nervous system;
It is advisable for people of reproductive age to use devices and equipment that actively and powerfully emit electromagnetic waves as little as possible - this leads to incurable infertility.

Protection methods

Is it possible to protect yourself and your loved ones, if not completely, then at least minimize the degree of negative influence of electromagnetic fields? The answer is yes.

You should always try to be at a sufficiently safe distance from working various electrical equipment, electrical appliances;
it is necessary to reduce or minimize contacts with electrical engineering: do not leave the computer turned on in sleep mode, do not stand next to a working printer, microwave, etc.;
as little as possible to use a mobile phone or at least talk on the speakerphone;
stay away from TV, copiers, printers, etc. closer than one and a half meters;

Important for health, keep the necessary distance between yourself and electrical appliances, electrical engineering!

bed, resting place should not be near wires or appliances, even if they are behind the wall. The wall does not protect against electromagnetic fields.

If it is not possible to protect yourself and your loved ones completely from the influence of electromagnetic radiation, then it is quite possible to try to minimize this impact.

In order not to suffer from the negative effects of electromagnetic fields, it is quite realistic and within our power to take preventive security measures, try to comply with them, and protect the health of oneself and one's relatives. And then everything will be all right. It should be remembered: health is easier and cheaper to maintain than to treat it later, and the outcome of treatment can be unpredictable. Health is much more valuable. Than endless sitting at the computer and constant negotiations on a mobile phone and other modern gadgets.

1. Introduction

It's no secret that external electromagnetic radiation has a negative impact on the human body. The world around us is increasingly filled with computers, television equipment, cellular and radio telephones, and various household appliances. People, being on the street, in transport, housing, are literally surrounded by wires. In large cities, places where the man-made electromagnetic background exceeds the permissible norms by tens and hundreds of times are growing at an alarming pace. Getting into such zones, a person, as it were, finds himself in a room with the inscription “Caution! High voltage”, and stays there for a long time.

When the space around a person is saturated with electromagnetic signals, the body experiences discomfort, leading to diseases of a very different nature. This is due to the fact that a person in an electromagnetic field is able to absorb electromagnetic energy to a certain extent, which depends on his own electrical properties, as well as the nature of the electromagnetic field. Part of the acting energy is reflected from the surface of the body, part is able to be absorbed. The nervous system, cardiovascular system, brain, eyes, as well as the immune and reproductive systems are most susceptible to the influence of electromagnetic fields. EMFs are of particular danger for children and pregnant women, since the still unformed children's body has an increased sensitivity to the effects of such fields. relevant and meaningful.

Purpose of the study: study the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the human body.

· Increasing the level of information literacy.

2. A few words about electromagnetic radiation.

The English scientist James Maxwell, based on a study of Faraday's experimental work on electricity, hypothesized the existence in nature of special waves that can propagate in a vacuum. Maxwell called these waves electromagnetic waves. According to Maxwell's ideas: with any change in the electric field, a vortex magnetic field arises and, conversely, with any change in the magnetic field, a vortex electric field arises. Once begun, the process of mutual generation of magnetic and electric fields must continue continuously and capture more and more new areas in the surrounding space. Electric and magnetic fields can exist not only in matter, but also in vacuum. Therefore, it should be possible to propagate electromagnetic waves in a vacuum. The physicist Heinrich Hertz was the first to experimentally obtain electromagnetic waves. The simplest electromagnetic waves are waves in which the electric and magnetic fields make synchronous harmonic oscillations.

External electromagnetic radiation has a negative impact not only on the human body, but also on the entire world around it. To date, the program of the World Health Organization "Electromagnetic fields and human health" has been approved and is being implemented. Close attention is paid to this problem all over the world, because when the space around a person is saturated with electromagnetic signals, the body experiences discomfort, leading to a decrease in immunity.

So, the topic of the study was the study of the negative impact of electromagnetic radiation on the human body.

I decided to compile a questionnaire and conduct a survey in order to determine people's awareness of the harm of electromagnetic radiation on the human body. 78 people participated in the survey. As a result of the analysis of the survey results, it was revealed:

1. They know about the dangers of electromagnetic radiation and try to reduce its negative effects by virtue of their knowledge - 75% of respondents

2. They believe that electromagnetic radiation causes harm, but it is insignificant for their health - 18% of respondents

3. Did not think about this problem - 7% of respondents

4. Consider that the cardiovascular system and the brain are most affected by electromagnetic waves - 71% of respondents

5. They believe that the nervous system is most affected by electromagnetic waves - 21% of respondents

6. It is believed that the reproductive system, eyes, hearing organs are most affected by electromagnetic waves - 8% of respondents

7. Know elementary methods of protection against harmful radiation of electromagnetic waves - 36%

8. Possess incorrect knowledge in terms of protection against the negative effects of electromagnetic radiation - 64%

I came to the conclusion that people need more information on this issue.

3. The harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation on the human body.

Today, scientists from many civilized countries, including Russia, have come to the conclusion that the magnetic component of the electromagnetic field, which exceeds the value of 0.2 microtesla (µT), is harmful to human health. But let's see what magnitudes of this tension a person has to face on a daily basis at the everyday level?

Take, for example, urban and intercity transport. So, the average value of the field electromagnetic intensity in suburban electric trains is 20, and in trams and trolleybuses - 30 μT. These indicators are even higher on the platforms of metro stations - up to 50-100 μT. And at all a real hell is a trip in the cars of the city subway, where the intensity of the EMF rolls over 150-200 μT. This exceeds the permissible level of exposure by more than 1000 times! Should we be surprised at the rapid fatigue, irritability, susceptibility to various diseases of people who are forced to use electric transport every day?!

My home is my castle! This phrase, born in England, could be uttered by a person who closed the door behind him. Now this is far from the case! Each more or less electrified box considers it its duty to release into the atmosphere some kind of product that affects our body. All our favorite household appliances - electric stoves, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, kettles, irons, mixers, coffee makers (even electrical wiring and power lines) - create an electromagnetic field. It cannot be seen, heard, smelled, tasted or touched. However, you can study it and protect yourself from its radiations. How dangerous are electromagnetic waves really? And isn't it better to throw your favorite computer out the window?

Many people, unfortunately, are not even aware of the serious danger posed by working electrical household appliances. Take, for example, an ordinary kitchen stove. The hostess is usually located near her front panel. The magnitude of the electromagnetic field strength at the plate (within 20-30 cm) is 1-3 μT. Can you imagine the risk to the health of housewives who have to cook food for their families every day?! Unexpectedly small are the indicators of the field electromagnetic intensity generated by electric kettles - only 2.6 μT, for irons - about 0.2 μT.

Of course, no one disputes that the carriers of electromagnetic radiation provide us with both working and domestic comfort. It is hard to imagine our life without planes, trains and subways, televisions and computers, washing machines, cell phones and much more. But for all these technical conveniences, a person, unfortunately, has to pay with his own health.

So, man, like animals and plants - all living things - is subject to the influence of electromagnetism. It can be both harmful and beneficial. Physicians and scientists have long been exploring ways to weaken the former and strengthen the latter. For a better understanding of how EMR affects the human body, we decided to go to the Zheleznodorozhny Clinical Hospital for a consultation with a first-category shop physician Shiryaeva Svetlana Yuryevna. Electric train drivers and assistant drivers are assigned to Svetlana Yuryevna's section. In a conversation with the doctor, we learned a lot of interesting and informative. It turns out that depending on the intensity and duration of exposure to electromagnetic radiation, acute and chronic forms of damage to the body are distinguished.

Most often, patients complain of general weakness, fatigue, a feeling of weakness, decreased performance, sleep disturbance, irritability, sweating, headache of indeterminate localization, dizziness, weakness. Some are concerned about pain in the region of the heart, sometimes of a compressive nature with irradiation to the left arm and shoulder blade, shortness of breath. Painful phenomena in the region of the heart are more often felt by the end of the working day, after nervous or physical stress. Individuals may complain of darkening of the eyes, weakening of memory, inability to concentrate and engage in mental work.

· Unplug non-operating appliances from the mains to reduce “electromagnetic pollution”. This also applies to mobile phones. Do not talk for more than 3-4 minutes, use SMS more often, and also wear the device in a case that shields electromagnetic waves. At home it is better to use cable.

· Do not move the bed close to the wall, which may contain reinforced concrete structures with electromagnetic properties. The minimum distance between the wall and the bed should be 10 cm.

· When purchasing another household appliance, remember: the lower the power, the lower the level of its EMF, that is, harmfulness.

· Buy an air ionizer - it removes the effects of electrostatic fields.

· When you make repairs, replace the usual wiring with shielded and use paints and wallpaper with shielding properties.

· Do not use cell phones for pregnant women, starting from the moment of establishing the fact of pregnancy and during the entire period of pregnancy, for children.

For schoolchildren, the duration of continuous classes on the computer should not exceed: Grades 1 - 10 minutes, Grades 2-5 - 15 minutes, Grades 6-7 - 20 minutes, Grades 8-9 - 25 minutes, Grades 10-11 - at the first hour training sessions - 30 minutes, on the second - 20 minutes.

Conclusion.

In my work, I tried to show the importance, significance and relevance of studying the influence of electromagnetic radiation on a person, in particular household items, human household items, as well as the need to study this mysterious factor on the functioning of the human body. Mankind stepped into a new era - the era of high technology and machines. But until we know what other secrets lie in the phenomena we cannot see, we will not be able to guarantee our safety.

The practical significance of this work lies in the fact that this material can be used in physics lessons, class hours, elective courses in physics, as well as at parent-teacher meetings in order to inform the population.

Technological progress also has a downside. The global use of various electrically powered equipment has caused pollution, which has been given the name - electromagnetic noise. In this article, we will consider the nature of this phenomenon, the degree of its impact on the human body and protective measures.

What is it and sources of radiation

Electromagnetic radiation is electromagnetic waves that occur when a magnetic or electric field is disturbed. Modern physics interprets this process within the framework of the theory of corpuscular-wave dualism. That is, the minimum portion of electromagnetic radiation is a quantum, but at the same time it has frequency-wave properties that determine its main characteristics.

The frequency spectrum of the electromagnetic field radiation makes it possible to classify it into the following types:

radio frequency (these include radio waves);
thermal (infrared);
optical (that is, visible to the eye);
radiation in the ultraviolet spectrum and hard (ionized).

A detailed illustration of the spectral range (electromagnetic emission scale) can be seen in the figure below.

Nature of radiation sources

Depending on the origin, sources of radiation of electromagnetic waves in world practice are usually classified into two types, namely:

perturbations of the electromagnetic field of artificial origin;
radiation from natural sources.

Radiations coming from the magnetic field around the Earth, electrical processes in the atmosphere of our planet, nuclear fusion in the depths of the sun - all of them are of natural origin.

As for artificial sources, they are a side effect caused by the operation of various electrical mechanisms and devices.

The radiation emanating from them can be low-level and high-level. The degree of intensity of the electromagnetic field radiation completely depends on the power levels of the sources.

Examples of high EMP sources include:

Power lines are usually high-voltage;
all types of electric transport, as well as its accompanying infrastructure;
television and radio towers, as well as mobile and mobile communication stations;
installations for converting the voltage of the electrical network (in particular, waves emanating from a transformer or distribution substation);
elevators and other types of lifting equipment where an electromechanical power plant is used.

Typical sources emitting low-level radiation include the following electrical equipment:

almost all devices with a CRT display (for example: a payment terminal or a computer);
various types of household appliances, ranging from irons to climate systems;
engineering systems that provide electricity to various objects (not only a power cable is meant, but related equipment, such as sockets and electricity meters).

Separately, it is worth highlighting the special equipment used in medicine, which emits hard radiation (X-ray machines, MRI, etc.).

Impact on a person

In the course of numerous studies, radiobiologists came to a disappointing conclusion - prolonged radiation of electromagnetic waves can cause an "explosion" of diseases, that is, it causes the rapid development of pathological processes in the human body. Moreover, many of them introduce violations at the genetic level.

Video: How electromagnetic radiation affects people.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYWgXyHW93Q

This is due to the fact that the electromagnetic field has a high level of biological activity, which negatively affects living organisms. The influence factor depends on the following components:

the nature of the radiation produced;
how long and with what intensity it continues.

The impact on human health of radiation, which has an electromagnetic nature, directly depends on the localization. It can be both local and general. In the latter case, large-scale irradiation occurs, for example, radiation produced by power lines.

Accordingly, local irradiation refers to the impact on certain parts of the body. Electromagnetic waves emanating from an electronic watch or a mobile phone are a vivid example of a local effect.

Separately, it is necessary to note the thermal effect of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation on living matter. The field energy is converted into thermal energy (due to the vibration of molecules), this effect is the basis for the operation of industrial microwave emitters used to heat various substances. Unlike benefits in industrial processes, thermal effects on the human body can be detrimental. From the point of view of radiobiology, it is not recommended to be near "warm" electrical equipment.

It must be taken into account that in everyday life we are regularly exposed to radiation, and this happens not only at work, but also at home or when moving around the city. Over time, the biological effect accumulates and intensifies. With the growth of electromagnetic noise, the number of characteristic diseases of the brain or nervous system increases. Note that radiobiology is a rather young science, therefore, the harm caused to living organisms from electromagnetic radiation has not been thoroughly studied.

The figure shows the level of electromagnetic waves produced by conventional household appliances.

Note that the field strength level decreases significantly with distance. That is, in order to reduce its effect, it is enough to move away from the source at a certain distance.

The formula for calculating the norm (rationing) of electromagnetic field radiation is indicated in the relevant GOSTs and SanPiNs.

Radiation protection

In production, absorbing (protective) screens are actively used as a means of protecting against radiation. Unfortunately, it is not possible to protect yourself from electromagnetic field radiation using such equipment at home, since it is not designed for this.

in order to reduce the impact of electromagnetic field radiation to almost zero, you should move away from power lines, radio and television towers at a distance of at least 25 meters (you must take into account the power of the source);
for a CRT monitor and a TV, this distance is much smaller - about 30 cm;
electronic watches should not be placed close to the pillow, the optimal distance for them is more than 5 cm;
as for radios and cell phones, bringing them closer than 2.5 centimeters is not recommended.

Note that many people know how dangerous it is to stand near high-voltage power lines, but at the same time, most people do not attach importance to ordinary household electrical appliances. Although it is enough to put the system unit on the floor or move it away, and you will protect yourself and your loved ones. We advise you to do this, and then measure the background from the computer using an electromagnetic field radiation detector in order to visually verify its reduction.

This advice also applies to the placement of the refrigerator, many put it near the kitchen table, practical but unsafe.

No table will be able to indicate the exact safe distance from specific electrical equipment, since emissions may vary, both depending on the model of the device and the country of manufacture. At the moment there is no single international standard, therefore, in different countries, the norms may have significant differences.

You can accurately determine the intensity of radiation using a special device - a fluxmeter. According to the standards adopted in Russia, the maximum allowable dose should not exceed 0.2 μT. We recommend measuring in the apartment using the above device for measuring the degree of radiation of the electromagnetic field.

Fluxmeter - a device for measuring the degree of radiation of an electromagnetic field

Try to reduce the time when you are exposed to radiation, that is, do not stay close to working electrical appliances for a long time. For example, it is not at all necessary to constantly stand at the electric stove or microwave oven while cooking. Regarding electrical equipment, you can see that warm does not always mean safe.

Always turn off electrical appliances when not in use. People often leave various devices turned on, not considering that at this time electromagnetic radiation is emitted from electrical equipment. Turn off your laptop, printer or other equipment, it is unnecessary to be exposed to radiation once again, remember about your safety.

What would the world be like without the influence of electromagnetic waves? Do not rush to answer this question, because our planet exists for millions of years surrounded by radiation. The natural magnetic field of the Earth, the natural electric field, radio emission from the Sun, atmospheric electricity - these are the electromagnetic waves that have been around us since time immemorial. Living nature is impossible without this physical phenomenon. However, due to human activity, such a problem as electromagnetic pollution has appeared, the source of which is household appliances, computers and components, construction power tools, mobile phones, high-voltage power lines, radio stations. What is the influence of electromagnetic waves of anthropogenic origin and how to minimize it?

Comfort zone

For normal life, a person needs environmentally friendly conditions in terms of the influence of electromagnetic fields. Studies have shown that a person experiences the same stress, both in conditions of severe electromagnetic pollution and in the absence of natural radiation sources (shielding from natural EMF sources occurs in enclosed spaces limited by metal or reinforced concrete, for example, in transport salons, elevator shafts and other premises ).

Ideal conditions from this point of view are far from populated areas, in places where no electrical appliances are used. And since most of the inhabitants of the planet cannot provide such living conditions for themselves, a situation arises when each of us, to one degree or another, experiences the influence of electromagnetic waves of anthropogenic origin.

In some cases, this effect does not go beyond the norm and is compensated by the body. In other situations, the influence of electromagnetic waves on the body can lead to the development of unpleasant consequences from harmless, such as increased skin blood flow, to a number of symptoms.

The negative impact of electromagnetic waves on the body

According to various studies, exposure to electromagnetic pollution can cause the following symptoms in a person:

From the side of the nervous system: changes in the electroencephalogram, neurasthenia, tremor of the fingers, dysfunctions of the central and autonomic nervous system, sweating;
From the side of the cardiovascular system: unstable blood pressure and pulse, cardiovascular and vagotonic disorders;
General symptoms: headache and dizziness, weakness, decreased efficiency and concentration, fatigue, superficial sleep that does not bring vigor, decreased potency, a feeling of internal emptiness, unstable body temperature, allergic reactions.

The influence of electromagnetic waves on a person is noted at the level of cells, organ systems and the body as a whole. It is believed that the nervous, immune, endocrine and reproductive systems react to this kind of pollution, and the range of diseases also affects such serious ailments as leukemia and the appearance of tumors. However, to date, fundamental studies proving the direct carcinogenic effect of electromagnetic waves on the body have not been conducted.

Some experts are inclined to believe that chronic fatigue syndrome is associated with an increase in electromagnetic pollution. And although the causes of this phenomenon are not fully understood, it is noted that the disease is typical for developed countries and its prevalence is increasing every year.

Are the changes caused by the influence of electromagnetic waves on the body reversible? Symptoms from the nervous and cardiovascular systems, as a rule, disappear after the influence of EMF is eliminated, but with constant exposure to a harmful factor, the disturbances become stable and lead to diseases.

However, the situation is not without irony, and one of the results of the negative influence of electromagnetic waves on a person is an electromagnetic phobia. An obsessive sense of threat makes people avoid antennas, even those that are used not for broadcasting, but for receiving radio broadcasts, and also to attribute properties of radiation to electromagnetic waves, to buy devices for supposedly decontaminating premises and territories, etc. However, competent explanations of specialists, corresponding to the level of education of the patient, can help people with such phobias.

Be that as it may, the influence of electromagnetic waves on a person is considered potentially disease-causing. The symptoms caused by this factor are united by the term "radio wave sickness".

The influence of electromagnetic waves within the apartment

The greatest concerns of environmentalists and medical specialists are caused by high-voltage equipment - power lines, transformer stations and substations. However, the level of their electromagnetic impact on the environment is regulated by SanPiN standards, moreover, such structures are usually located at a distance from residential areas, due to which the influence of electromagnetic waves on a person is minimized. Of much greater interest to all of us are household appliances that are in our apartment.

The modern lifestyle involves a high concentration of household appliances in a limited living area. Electric heaters, fans, air conditioners, additional lighting system, computer equipment, vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, blenders, a constantly on refrigerator and microwave oven and many other devices that are in close proximity are quite capable of creating a powerful electromagnetic background. Do not forget about household power distributors, which, like a web, entangle the entire apartment. When household appliances are turned off, this network creates an electric field; when the equipment is running, a magnetic field of industrial frequency arises. Moreover, the influence of electromagnetic waves from such devices is felt, even if they are in a room behind a wall.

How to protect yourself from the influence of electromagnetic waves

With a modern lifestyle, it is impossible to completely isolate yourself from the effects of anthropogenic radiation, but you can minimize them. For example, stay as far away as possible from a microwave or electric oven when they are in operation, as well as from office equipment, washing machines, etc. Turn off appliances when not needed. In this case, it is advisable to completely de-energize the device, and not leave it in sleep mode.

It is difficult to limit the influence of electromagnetic waves from phones that act as alarm clocks, communication tools, navigation and many other functions. However, experts recommend not giving phones to children under the age of 5-8 years. When buying this gadget, choose models that use the GSM 1800 communication standard, use a headset to reduce the amount of radiation, do not put the phone near your head when you go to bed. The less you are near working electrical appliances, the less impact they have on your body.

Mechanism of EMR impact

The human body, like any organism on Earth, has its own electromagnetic field, thanks to which all systems, organs and cells of the body work harmoniously. Human electromagnetic radiation is also called a biofield. The visual representation of the biofield, which some people see, and which can be built by a computer with the help of special devices, is also called an aura.

This field is the main protective shell of our body from the influence of external electromagnetic fields. When it is destroyed, the organs and systems of our body become easy prey for any disease-causing factors.

If other sources of radiation, much more powerful than the radiation of our body, act on our natural electromagnetic field, then it is distorted or even begins to collapse. And chaos begins in the body. This leads to disruption of the work of various organs and systems - diseases.

That is, for any person it is obvious that, for example, a buzzing transformer box or a powerful electric generator are dangerous, because they create a strong electromagnetic field around them. Safety time and distance standards have been calculated for workers when they are near such devices. But here's what is NOT obvious to most people:

The same effect of destruction of the biofield occurs when exposed to weak electromagnetic radiation, if the body is under their influence regularly and for long periods of time.

That is, the sources of danger are the most common household appliances that surround us every day. Things without which we can no longer imagine our lives: household appliances, computers, laptops, mobile phones, transport and other attributes of modern civilization.

In addition, a large crowd of people, the mood of a person and his attitude towards us, geopathogenic zones on the planet, magnetic storms, etc. have a significant impact on us. (for more details see page ).

Among scientists, there are still disputes about the dangers of electromagnetic radiation. Some say that it is dangerous, others, on the contrary, do not see any harm. I would like to clarify.

The most dangerous is not the electromagnetic waves themselves, without which no device could really work, but their information component, which cannot be detected by conventional oscilloscopes.

It has been experimentally established that electromagnetic radiations have a torsion (information) component. According to the studies of specialists from France, Russia, Ukraine and Switzerland, it is torsion fields, and not electromagnetic ones, that are the main factor in the negative impact on human health. Since it is the torsion field that transmits to a person all that negative information, from which headaches, irritations, insomnia, etc. begin.

How strong is the impact of the technology around us? We offer several videos for viewing:

How dangerous radiation surrounds us? Visual demonstration:

Of course, these are far from all the dangerous items that we use on a daily basis. More information about radiation sources can be found on the page:

Effect of electromagnetic radiation on human health

Weak electromagnetic fields (EMFs) of high frequency with a power of hundredths and even thousandths of a watt are dangerous for a person because the intensity of such fields coincides with the intensity of the radiation of the human body during the normal functioning of all systems and organs in his body. As a result of this interaction, a person's own field is distorted, which contributes to the development of various diseases, especially in the most weakened parts of the body.

The most dangerous property of such effects is that they accumulate over time in the body. As they say: "a drop of water wears away a stone." In people who, by occupation, use a lot of various equipment - computers, telephones - a decrease in immunity, frequent stress, a decrease in sexual activity, and increased fatigue were found.

And if we take into account the development of wireless technologies and the miniaturization of gadgets that allow us not to part with them around the clock... Today, almost every resident of a metropolis is at risk, one way or another exposed to mobile and Wi-Fi networks, power lines, electric transport, etc. .

The problem is that the danger is invisible and intangible, and begins to manifest itself only in the form of various diseases. At the same time, the cause of these diseases remains outside the field of view of medicine. With rare exceptions. And while you are healing the symptoms with the achievements of modern medicine, our invisible enemy stubbornly continues to undermine your health.

The most affected by electromagnetic fields are the circulatory system, brain, eyes, immune and reproductive systems. Someone will say: “So what? Surely this impact is not so strong - otherwise international organizations would have sounded the alarm long ago.

Data:

Do you know that within 15 minutes after starting to work on the computer in a 9-10 year old child, changes in the blood and urine almost coincide with changes in the blood of a person with cancer? Similar changes appear in a 16-year-old teenager after half an hour, in an adult - after 2 hours of work at the monitor.
(we are talking about cathode ray monitors, which are gradually disappearing from everyday use, but are still found)

US researchers found:

in most women who worked on computers during pregnancy, the fetus developed abnormally, and the probability of miscarriage approached 80%;

brain cancer in electricians develops 13 times more often than in workers of other professions;

Effect of electromagnetic radiation on the nervous system:

The level of electromagnetic radiation, even without causing thermal effects, can affect the most important functional systems of the body. Most experts consider the nervous system to be the most vulnerable of them. The mechanism of action is very simple - it has been established that electromagnetic fields disrupt the permeability of cell membranes for calcium ions. As a result, the nervous system begins to malfunction. In addition, an alternating electromagnetic field induces weak currents in electrolytes, which are the liquid constituents of tissues. The range of deviations caused by these processes is very wide - during the experiments, changes in the EEG of the brain, a slowdown in reaction, memory impairment, depressive manifestations, etc. were recorded.

Effect of EMR on the immune system:

The immune system is also affected. Experimental studies in this direction have shown that in animals irradiated with EMF, the nature of the infectious process changes - the course of the infectious process is aggravated. There is reason to believe that under the influence of EMR, the processes of immunogenesis are disturbed, more often in the direction of their suppression. This process is associated with the emergence of autoimmunity. In accordance with this concept, the basis of all autoimmune conditions is primarily immunodeficiency in the thymus-dependent cell population of lymphocytes. The effect of high-intensity EMF on the body's immune system is manifested in a depressing effect on the T-system of cellular immunity.

Effect of EMR on the endocrine system:

The endocrine system is also a target for EMR. Studies have shown that under the action of EMF, as a rule, the pituitary-adrenal system was stimulated, which was accompanied by an increase in the content of adrenaline in the blood, activation of blood coagulation processes. It was recognized that one of the systems that early and naturally involves the body's response to various environmental factors is the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal cortex system.

Effect of electromagnetic radiation on the cardiovascular system:

You can also note the violations of the cardiovascular system. It manifests itself in the form of lability of the pulse and blood pressure. Phase changes in the composition of peripheral blood are noted.

The influence of electromagnetic radiation on the reproductive system:

There is a suppression of spermakinesis, an increase in the birth rate of girls, an increase in the number of congenital malformations and deformities. The ovaries are more sensitive to the influence of electromagnetic radiation.
The female genital area is more susceptible to the effects of electromagnetic fields generated by computers and other office and household appliances than the male.
Vessels of the head, thyroid gland, liver, genital area are critical areas of influence. These are only the main and most obvious consequences of EMP exposure. The picture of the real impact on each individual is very individual. But to one degree or another, these systems are affected by all users of household appliances at different times.

Effect of electromagnetic radiation on pregnant women and children:

The children's organism has some peculiarities in comparison with an adult, for example, it has a large ratio of the length of the head and the body, and a greater conductivity of the medulla.

Due to the smaller size and volume of the head of a child, the specific absorbed power is greater than that of an adult, and the radiation penetrates deeper into those parts of the brain that, as a rule, are not irradiated in adults. With the growth of the head and the thickening of the bones of the skull, the content of water and ions decreases, and hence the conductivity.

It has been proven that growing and developing tissues are most susceptible to the adverse effects of an electromagnetic field, and active human growth occurs from the moment of conception until about 16 years of age.

Pregnant women also fall into this risk group, since EMF is biologically active in relation to embryos. When a pregnant woman talks on a cell phone, virtually her entire body is exposed to EMF, including the developing fetus.

The sensitivity of the embryo to damaging factors is much higher than the sensitivity of the maternal organism. It has been established that intrauterine damage to the fetus by EMF can occur at any stage of its development: during fertilization, crushing, implantation, organogenesis. However, the periods of maximum EMF sensitivity are the early stages of embryonic development—implantation and early organogenesis.

Data:

In the Neurodiagnostic Research Institute in Spain in 2001, they found that in 11-13-year-old children who talked on a cell phone for two minutes, the change in the bioelectrical activity of the brain persisted for another two hours after they hung up.

The University of Bristol in the UK completed a study last year showing a significant increase in reaction time in 10-11 year old children who used a GSM mobile phone. Similar results were obtained by the Finns at the University of Turku, who observed a group of children 10-14 years old.

In the USSR, until the 90s, a large number of studies of the biological effect of EMF on the developing organism of animals.

It has been established that even low EMF intensities affect the embryonic development of offspring. The offspring of irradiated animals are less viable, developmental anomalies, deformities, lag in weight, dysfunctions of the higher parts of the central nervous system (slow production and reduced ability to maintain defensive and motor-food conditioned reflexes), and a shift in the pace of postnatal development are observed.

EMF irradiated adult animals are characterized by a decrease in the number of offspring, changes in the genital organs of females, disturbances in the development of the fetus, a decrease in the percentage of interbreeding, and statistically more frequently observed cases of stillbirth.

A study of the effect of EMF on the offspring of rats exposed to electromagnetic effects in parameters similar to what a human embryo receives when its mother talks on a cell phone showed that, compared with the control, the embryonic mortality of the offspring is statistically significantly increased, the mass of the thymus gland is reduced, and the number of developmental anomalies is increased internal organs, for the first 4 weeks of the postnatal period, the mortality of the offspring of rats of all experimental groups was 2.5-3 times higher than in the control, and body weight was lower. The development of rat pups also went worse: the formation of sensory-motor reflexes, the timing of the cutting of incisors lagged behind, in female rat pups formation was disturbed.
