Have you believed these radiation rumors?

2022-07-18

With the continuous advancement of science and technology, today's daily life is full of radiation, and people are shivering at the remarks that radiation damages human health, but do you really know how much radiation is harmful to the human body? These rumors about radiation, you Did you get hit?

According to the British "Daily Mail" report, mobile phone radiation does not affect health, and this conclusion was found through an 11-year study. Here are a few widely circulated rumors about radiation, let's take a look

Rumors 1. Mobile Internet access will generate 50,000-60,000 times more electromagnetic waves than usual. Electromagnetic waves are class 2B probable carcinogens and should be kept away as much as possible.

The truth: The electromagnetic waves of mobile phones produced by regular manufacturers have little effect on the human body. Even if the signal is expanded by tens of thousands of times, it is still within the safe range. The carcinogenic potential of class 2B carcinogens is very low, and the daily use of kimchi and coffee belong to this level.

Rumor 2. Security inspection machines at airports, trains stations and other places have very strong internal radiation, and it is very dangerous to pass through the security gates frequently.

Truth: Exaggerate the truth. The X-ray security checker used in the airport train station has a radiation dose far less than that of an X-ray machine used for medical diagnosis, and the surrounding radiation is very weak. Even full-time operators can be safe without any protection. Work.

Rumor 3. The cumulative amount of radiation from using a household hair dryer three times in a row is equal to one X-ray in the hospital

The truth: The radiation from the hair dryer is a low-frequency electromagnetic field. It is more alarmist to say that the hair dryer is a killer of high radiation.

Rumor 4. When making a phone call, the mobile phone signal radiates into the ear, and the signal propagates through the eardrum directly into the human brain, causing huge damage to the human brain.

The truth: The electromagnetic wave intensity of the mobile phone will not cause radiation damage to the human body when making and receiving calls, but it is indeed not recommended to wear headphones to listen to songs overnight.

Rumor 5. Pregnant women need to wear radiation protection clothing, otherwise radiation will affect the fetus

Fact: There is currently no evidence that daily non-ionizing radiation increases the rate of fetal malformations and maternal miscarriage. Therefore, pregnant women do not need special protection.

Rumor 6. Remember to turn off the computer when you lie down on your desk at noon and sleep with your head facing the computer. One day it will be too late to get Alzheimer's disease or a brain tumor!

Fact: There is currently no conclusive evidence that computer-generated electromagnetic radiation is linked to Alzheimer's and brain tumors. ​​

Rumor 7. Put a few pots of cactus next to the computer, it can effectively absorb radiation

The truth: When a computer is placed there, the strength of electromagnetic waves emitted in all directions is mainly determined by the computer itself, and the cactus has no adsorption or shielding function. And fundamentally, the level of electromagnetic radiation from computers does not pose a health hazard.

Rumor 8. To protect against computer radiation, you can drink 2 to 3 cups of green tea and eat an orange every morning

Fact: There is no evidence that the electromagnetic waves released by the computer will cause harm to health, so there is no need to drink tea and eat oranges for protection. However, tea is rich in provitamin A. Therefore, although green tea has nothing to do with eliminating computer radiation, it is helpful for protecting and improving eyesight.

Rumor 9. After using a computer, a lot of electromagnetic radiation particles will adhere to the face. Washing your face with water in time can reduce the radiation by more than 70%!

Fact: Electromagnetic radiation from computers does not produce anything like small particles of radioactive material. There will be no "residual particles" on the face and no need to wash. Old-fashioned monitors will attract some dust due to static electricity, but the dust will not produce electromagnetic radiation, and it will not cause damage to the face when it falls on the face.

Therefore, most of the electromagnetic radiation that you are exposed to in life will not affect your health. Remarks that exaggerate the harm of electromagnetic radiation are baseless rumors that lack the support of literature!
