I often encounter such a situation in life: the pregnant mother asks, I work in front of the computer, do I need to wear a radiation protection suit? Can Radiation Affect Babies? Does wearing radiation protection suits really work? How to clean? What is the principle? How to check authenticity? Let's take a look together next!

Are radiation protection suits useful for pregnant women?
Is radiation protection clothing useful for pregnant women? According to some experiments, radiation protection suits for pregnant women are basically useless.
Radiation is divided into ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation. X-rays, CT, etc. have huge energy, which can change the structure of DNA, which is called ionizing radiation. After exceeding the prescribed dose, it does cause great harm to the human body. Another type of radiation with less energy is called non-ionizing radiation. Common radiation sources in life, including computers, mobile phones, televisions, microwave ovens, etc., are all non-ionizing radiation. scope.
That said, the public is often exposed to non-ionizing radiation. The main "selling point" of radiation protection clothing is actually to block or shield part of the non-ionizing radiation for the baby in the womb. However, the dose of non-ionizing radiation exposed to in daily life is within the acceptable range of the human body, and there is no need to panic. It is not meaningful for pregnant women to wear radiation protection clothing.
In fact, there are no clinical trials to prove how much protection radiation protective clothing can have on the fetus. Most of the anti-radiation maternity clothes on the market capture the psychology of pregnant women and their families that "the child can't afford to lose", but in fact it has no effect at all.
The principle of radiation protection clothing for pregnant women
The main principle of radiation protection clothing for pregnant women is to use electromagnetic shielding to prevent electromagnetic waves from entering the human body, thereby preventing harm to the fetus. Electromagnetic shielding refers to the electronic movement of a dense metal mesh object in an electromagnetic field, thereby forming an external electromagnetic field of equal amount. The electromagnetic field in the opposite direction acts to neutralize the magnetic field, thereby eliminating the effect of the magnetic field.
Therefore, it is essential for pregnant women to take appropriate radiation protection measures, and the radiation protection clothing for pregnant women is also experimentally effective.
What kind of radiation protection clothing is good for pregnant women
In fact, the brand is not the most important thing when buying radiation protection clothing for pregnant women. Pregnant mothers should choose from fabrics, and they must shop around when purchasing. When choosing radiation protection clothing, you can't blindly think that the more expensive the better the effect, but also the comfort of the clothes. Buying only the most expensive clothes without considering whether the pregnant woman is comfortable wearing it will not only make it difficult for the pregnant woman to move, it may even be dangerous to the pregnant woman and her baby.
How much is the radiation protection suit for pregnant women
Pregnant women's radiation protection clothing can be divided into metal fiber and silver fiber fabric clothing according to different materials. Most brands have average prices, but for the same material, different brands have different prices.

Inspection method for radiation protection clothing
How to choose radiation protection clothing, after getting radiation protection clothing, you need to check the following signs to identify whether it is genuine:
Method 1: Look at the anti-counterfeiting label of the radiation protection suit. With anti-counterfeiting labels, you can call the manufacturer to determine which dealer the goods came from, which is only a preliminary judgment of authenticity. Check that the hang tag and identification certificate (small) are in good condition.
Method 2: After wrapping the mobile phone tightly, the mobile phone signal is mostly attenuated, but not necessarily completely wrapped.
Method 3: Metal fiber radiation protection clothing can be detected by burning a small sample cloth. After burning, it can be seen that the metal mesh is evenly distributed and will not turn into ashes like ordinary fabrics (only applicable to metal fiber blended fabrics).
Method 4: Put your phone next to the stereo or radio. When the mobile phone is first connected, it will cause interference to the audio or radio and generate noise. If you wrap the phone in a genuine radiation protection suit and test it, you will find that the interference is gone.
Method 5: The principle of most radiation protection suits is that a good metal conductor can reflect electromagnetic waves, so the multimeter test of genuine radiation protection suits has conductivity. To test the electrical conductivity of clothes, radiation-proof fabrics are essentially different from ordinary fabrics and have good electrical conductivity. The user can take the clothes to the home appliance repair department, and let the master test the conductivity of the clothes with a multimeter. Ordinary clothing is not conductive. Tested with a multimeter, the resistance is less than 50 ohms.
Method 6: According to the latest industry standards, the method of detecting mobile phone signals has been clearly identified as a non-scientific method, that is, radiation protection clothing that can block mobile phone signals is not necessarily good, so please do not use this detection method. Many people believe that the use of mobile phones as a protective standard for identifying radiation protection clothing is incorrect. The correct method is much more complicated: first, use the mobile phone to make a call to someone else, and it must be during the call, when the mobile phone is a strong source of radiation; second, turn on the radio or turn on the speakerphone, and use the mobile phone to get close to them and they can hear clearly If you can't hear the whistling sound, you can switch to a speakerphone or find a speaker. In short, you have to hear the whistling sound before moving on to the next step; finally, wrap the phone in your clothes and the whistling sound is gone.

Cleaning method of radiation protection clothing for pregnant women
There are many kinds of radiation protection clothing fabrics, including metal fiber blended fabrics, semi-silver fiber blended fabrics, full silver fiber knitted fabrics and washable polyionic fabrics. Metal coated fabrics and silver fiber coated fabrics cannot be washed directly.
The washing of radiation protection clothing is different from ordinary clothing. There are a few caveats, and using the correct washing method can extend the life of your radiation suit.
Method 1: To avoid corrosion of the shield fibers, it should be cleaned with a neutral detergent.
Method 2: Do not bleach when washing, or use washing products that contain bleach.
Method 3: The temperature of the washing water is lower than 40°C, and the water cannot contain chlorine.
Method 4: Not machine washable.
Method 5: It cannot be sun-dried, it should be hung to dry.
Method 6: Low temperature ironing.
