The electromagnetic fields in which we live are becoming denser and more diverse. The influence of electromagnetic radiation on the human body is the object of constant research. What new things have scientists learned?
Have you ever played mindball? When, with the help of purely electrical impulses of the brain, two players drive the ball around the table? It is known that the electrical activity of the brain would be enough to light a light bulb! It is this, our inner electricity, which endlessly transforms and makes us alive. In nature, without electromagnetic radiation, there is also no life, as without air, light, water.
The natural electromagnetic background of the Earth is 0.000001-0.001 μW / cm². But now these values have grown billions of times. In addition to the increase in the level, the nature of the electromagnetic background has also changed - it has become richer and more diverse, frequencies have appeared that were not there before. And this, according to the Swedish scientist Leif Salford and his colleague Olle Johanssen, is the largest biological experiment on humans.
Electromagnetic mix
A router is flashing behind him, a mobile phone is charging next to a laptop, a landline telephone receiver is on the other side, wires of Internet providers and home wiring are behind the wall, a cellular antenna mast is outside the window, a trolley bus crawls under it, and a boiling kettle is in the kitchen , convection oven, and, of course, underfloor heating. All this creates its own electromagnetic fields. Passing through a person, they begin to interact with his own electromagnetic field (nature does not provide protection from external fields).
It is still impossible to predict the result of this interaction, especially since it changes all the time. The body gradually adapts to a constant stimulus. Monotonous noise, even very loud, at some point ceases to be perceived. And when the signal comes from one source, then from another, then from several at once, and even with different strength, no adaptation takes place.
“This is called an intermittent impact, and it is twice as harsh as a constant impact of the same force,” explains Oleg Grigoriev, Doctor of Biology, Director of the Center for Electromagnetic Safety of the Biophysical Center of the A.I. Burnazyan.
Is the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the human body good or bad?
Research on the bioeffects of electricity began at the same time as his invention. Already in 1900, Professor Danilevsky from the Imperial Kharkov University described in detail how an electromagnetic wave acts on the neuromuscular system: the muscles begin to contract. The popular, albeit controversial, myostimulation procedure is based on this.
Similar experiments were carried out in our days at the A. I. Burnazyan Federal Medical and Biological Center. It turned out that talking on a radiotelephone and a mobile phone leads to changes in electromagnetic brain waves. The blood supply also changes: the effect of electro magnetic field on the thickening and thinning of the blood was proved in the middle of the last century by Professor Alexander Chizhevsky. However, all these changes, despite the aftereffect, quickly return to normal.
But maybe these effects are positive? And as a bonus to using a mobile phone or tablet, we get a session of healing physical therapy? Unfortunately, experts say that such effects, alas, are not observed ...
Towers and stuff
There is no reason to consider each device separately, whether it be a tablet or a wi-fi amplifier. After all, the nature of electromagnetic radiation is one. The difference in the intensity and power of the electromagnetic field created by the device. Our most reliable protection is time and distance.
The less time spent next to the working equipment, the better, and the further it works, the more whole we will be. That is, the router should be somewhere in the hallway, and not on the desk. It is also better to do without signal amplifiers. And it is desirable that the cell tower does not decorate the view from the window. After all, ordinary windows and double-glazed windows, brick and panel walls do not protect against electromagnetic radiation.
His Mobile Excellency
Of all modern gadgets, the beloved and indispensable mobile phone is subjected to the greatest persecution. Unlike a router, or a laptop, or a microwave oven, the telephone is recognized as the most malicious violator of our electromagnetic harmony, since it is closest to the body, often shares a pillow with us and at the same time directly affects the electromagnetic oscillations of the brain with its electromagnetic oscillations.
Back in 1997-1998, the A. I. Burnazyan Federal Medical and Biomedical Center proved that the central nervous system reacts to the radiation of a mobile phone, even if this is not accompanied by subjective sensations. What are we seeing today?
Statistics show a steady increase in nervous diseases: from chronic fatigue to epilepsy. Can it be argued that this is all due to radiation? Probably not. Can we say that they have nothing to do with it? It's also impossible ... Swedish neurologist Leif Salford claims that radiation from a mobile phone leads to accelerated aging of brain cells. True, we are talking about rats, they did not call each other a couple of times a day, but were irradiated mercilessly. Nevertheless, by simulating the worst conditions, the scientist showed that as a result of irradiation, organic changes occur in the brain and a general decrease in rat intelligence.
Finished the game?
Today's adults have grown and matured in the pre-mobile era. At modern children those chances are gone. According to Rosstat and UNICEF, since 2000, the number of diseases of the nervous system in adolescents aged 15-17 has increased by 85%, by 82% - by blood diseases and immune status disorders, by 36% - by 36% - cases of diagnosis "epilepsy, epileptic status”, by 11% - “slight mental retardation”. It is obvious that the cause of these troubles is physical inactivity, improper diet, lifestyle, environmental degradation ...
But electromagnetic radiation is also a factor that is pointless to deny ... In South Korea The diagnosis of "digital dementia" is becoming more and more common. Similar disorders of cognitive abilities, although without such a harsh formulation, were recorded back in the 70s in a study by Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences Mikhail Shandala. He compared two groups of children in the same socio-economic, climatic and other conditions, one of which lived near a source of electromagnetic radiation, and showed that learning poetry, doing homework, taking exams in children living near the source of radiation, it turned out much worse.
“Children have thin bones and more active metabolic processes. Children are not little adults, they are just different,” Professor Oleg Grigoriev comments.
In this regard, Belgium even banned children's mobile phones in the form of animals. According to the expert of the Belgian Ministry of Health Marina Lukovnikova (our former compatriot), “it is unacceptable that mobile phones are on the shelves like toys. If older children use the phone more often for correspondence, then the younger ones will call. And radio waves act to a greater extent on the speaker on the phone. Moreover, we do not have data on the long-term effect of using mobile phones.”
And nothing has changed…
In 2011, WHO recognized the mobile phone as a potential carcinogen and assigned it a hazard class 2b. A direct connection was not proven, since the study had to rely on subjective data: people had to remember when and how much they talked on a mobile phone, what kind of device it was and which ear it was applied to.
Meanwhile, in the United States there was a serious laboratory research- chronic lifelong exposure of rats and mice. It lasted 10 years. This year, the results were published: males develop cancer, while females do not. This is not about cancer of the brain or the reproductive system. This study further confused the situation. But it is possible that in connection with this, WHO will raise the danger level of phones to 2a.
Traditions of antiquity deep: According to the watchmen of the Biophysical Center, the issues of rationing electromagnetic radiation became an edge in the USSR in connection with ... the installation of jammers for "enemy voices". Even they needed sanitary standards!
By the way, the same problem was encountered in the United States. Professor Alan Frey recalls that during the Cold War, the army installed super-powerful radars for those times, which the inhabitants of the surrounding towns resisted with all their might. Despite the fact that back in 1975, a scientific work described how microwaves, even in small doses, destroy the blood-brain barrier - that is, “break through” the natural defenses of the brain, these studies were forbidden to be made public ...
Virtual allergen
The immune system has its own connections with electromagnetic fields. For the first time back in the early 1980s, Swede Olle Johanssen drew attention to this when he discovered the diagnosis of “screen dermatitis”. People who do not suffer from allergies have a similar reaction to working at a computer. Examination of the skin under a microscope showed that the number of mast cells in it significantly increases, as in an allergic person who comes into contact with an allergen.
Professor Johanssen says: “It's time to rewrite the textbooks: the upper norm for the number of mast cells in humans is becoming lower. All over the world we are seeing an increase in allergies and asthma! Perhaps one of the reasons is the strengthening of the electromagnetic field in which we live, by an astronomical number of times. The effect of electromagnetic fields on mast cells is being studied in Australia in cell culture - in vitro. And, in short, mast cells do not like to be called on their mobile, and react to these waves in the same way as to the usual allergen - pollen ... ".
But although the diagnosis of "electromagnetic sensitivity" is recognized in Europe, many doctors are skeptical about it. Because it can coincide with the nocebo effect - negative self-hypnosis. If a person believes that he will get sick because there is a transformer box or a cell tower near the entrance, serious symptoms may appear. So even in the face of real threats, it is always worth checking with common sense.
holy of holies
If you talk on a mobile phone for 15-20 minutes a day, for our DNA, the result of such exposure is already destructive. Moreover, like all bioeffects of electromagnetic fields, this effect is cumulative. Even after a day without electronics, the process won't stop immediately. But regular holidays will significantly reduce the risks.
“This is probably the most dangerous effect of electromagnetic radiation,” says Olle Johanssen. “After all, five billion mobile phones turned on today can be enough for the entire genome ... And this applies not only to people, but to every living being.”
The problem is that these damages occur at lower doses than the legal limits. The European Parliament, having read a 600-page compilation of 1,500 studies on the bioeffects of electromagnetic fields, voted to tighten these standards for wireless equipment. But he handed over their development not to medical hygienists, but to ... companies producing such equipment. Comments are superfluous.
In the field
When cars began to drive on the roads, the rules of the road did not appear immediately. It is hoped that we will adapt to the reasonable use of our electronic assistants before any electromagnetic tsunami destroys world harmony.
“I hope that technology will take another turn and this will not last long. As it was, for example, with asbestos at the beginning of the last century,” Oleg Grigoriev is optimistic. In the meantime, let's try to adapt to electromagnetic field conditions.
Keep your phone away from your head during a call - long live the speakerphone and headphones!
The phone emits maximum radiation during dialing, at this moment it definitely has nothing to do at the ear.
In the car - only speakerphone.
A cover, especially a “radio-protective” one, only harms: it degrades the signal quality, forcing the phone to work in enhanced mode.
Don't talk to the charging phone.
Do not put your phone at the head of the bed at night, especially when charging.
Do not go to bed near plugged-in appliances. Switch your cell phone to airplane mode at night to sleep better.
Infrared windows, designed to save heat, perfectly protect against electromagnetic radiation.
Don't fight on the phone. Stress enhances the negative effect of electromagnetic radiation.
The apartment is safe if no antennas or power lines are visible from the window, there is no transformer or switchboard behind the wall or on the floor below. There is no cable shaft next to the bedroom or nursery, and there are no extraneous cables running along the outer wall. As a rule, the 22nd floor is better than the 10th floor in terms of external RF sources. Sources of industrial frequency (for example, the power distribution system), as a rule, are located on the first or second floors. The transformer box should be located 10-15 meters from the entrance.
WI-FI safety rules: The strength of the radiation falls in proportion to the square of the distance. So do not place routers close to a person - at the head of the bed, next to the sofa or
dining table. A Wi-Fi router should be at the entrance to the apartment: we spend the minimum amount of time in the corridor.
Champions League
Chronic exposure to magnetic fields above 0.3-0.4 µT has been classified by the WHO as a possible carcinogen. And here is how much the most popular electrical appliances emit (in µT) if they are within a radius of 30 cm from a person. The difference in values depends on the power of the device, its quality, the year of manufacture (the newer, the less risk) and the manufacturer:
- hair dryer 0.01-7
- hand mixer 0.6-10
- vacuum cleaner 2.0-20
- TV 0.04-2
- washing machine 0.15-3
- monitor 0.2
- iron 0.1-0.3
- heated floors 0.1-8
- microwave oven 4-8
- heater 0.15-5
- refrigerator 0.01-0.3
- halogen table lamp 0.5-2
With the constant development of high technology, everything appears large quantity sources of harmful rays that surround man and nature from all sides. The issues of electromagnetic radiation and its influence on the human body are being discussed today by world-class scientists.
It is not possible to completely limit oneself from exposure to harmful radiation, but it is possible and necessary to prevent their excess, it is enough to understand what it is.
One of the proven facts of the impact of the electromagnetic field is its negative impact not only on human health, but also on his thoughts, behavior and even the psychological component. Scientists came to this conclusion after studying the long-term interaction of waves with the human body. The sources of these waves are all kinds of electronic devices, computer, WI-FI, power lines and much more.
Thus, based on research, experts have revealed the theory that developing diseases and pathologies in the human body take place due to the influence of rays from the outside. Moreover, decay products can even cause poisoning of body cells. Fortunately, a person can protect himself and his loved ones from harmful waves by knowing the elementary methods of protection against electromagnetic radiation.
Types of electromagnetic radiation are divided into radio waves, infrared (thermal) radiation, visible (optical) radiation, ultraviolet and hard radiation. IMPORTANT: in this case, the answer to the question “does visible light belong to electromagnetic radiation” is positive.
radio wave sickness
By the beginning of the 60s, specialists managed to discover a new trend in medicine - radio wave disease. The spectrum of distribution of this disease is very wide - 1/3 of the population. It cannot be said that in most cases a person is exposed to waves against his will. However, radio wave disease is already indicated by a number of symptoms, including:
- headache;
- dizziness;
- increased fatigue;
- sleep disturbance;
- depression;
- distraction of attention.
Since such symptoms apply to many varieties of diseases, diagnosing the above becomes extremely problematic. But, like any disease, radio wave is able to develop and progress.
As a result of its spread throughout the body, a person runs the risk of developing cardiac arrhythmias, chronic respiratory diseases, and even fluctuations in blood sugar levels. This happens through the destruction of the electromagnetic field of a person, affecting even the cells of his body.
This disease manifests itself in different ways depending on the organ or system that it affects:
- Nervous system - we are talking about a deterioration in the conductivity of neurons - nerve cells of the brain that are susceptible to electromagnetic radiation that affects a person. Thus, a deformation occurs in their work, which leads to a violation of the conditional and unconditioned reflexes, deterioration in the functioning of the limbs, the appearance of hallucinations, irritability. There are cases of suicide attempts against the background of a developing disease.
- Immune system - in this case, immunity suppression occurs. And the cells responsible for its protection are themselves susceptible to the influence of electromagnetic waves, thus creating an additional negative influence from all sides.
- Blood - electrical frequencies provoke the adhesion of blood cells to each other, contributing to the deterioration of blood outflow, the formation of blood clots. Thus, an extra release of adrenaline into the body can occur, which in itself is detrimental to health. There is no need to talk about a violation of the cardiovascular system - an obvious arrhythmia, the development of plaques in the heart muscle and other types of heart failure, as a negative effect of electromagnetic waves on the human body.
- Endocrine system - since this system is responsible for controlling the functioning of hormones in the body, the influence of electromagnetic fields speaks for itself. The derivative of this influence is the destruction of the liver.
- Reproductive system - often women are more affected by electromagnetic radiation than men. Possessing hypersensitivity to influence from the outside, the female body is able to literally "suck" harmful radiation. This effect is especially dangerous during pregnancy. In the first weeks, the fetus is not strongly attached to the placenta, so there is a high probability of losing contact with the mother with a sharp release of radiation. With regards to later dates - the statistics are such that electromagnetic radiation affects the change in genetic code child, DNA deformation.
Consequences of EMP
Radio wave sickness annually acquires new forms, expanding and progressing, depending on the number and level of radiation sources. Experts have identified a number of consequences not only individually, but also in a large-scale sense:
- Cancer is no secret that oncological diseases manifest themselves under completely different conditions. However, scientists have proven an increase in the negative effects of electromagnetic radiation on cancer cells. Thus, research in Japan confirmed the presence of advanced level the risk of childhood leukemia in individuals whose bedrooms literally “glow” from the presence of electrical appliances and their components.
- Mental disorder in last years cases of deterioration in the perception of the surrounding world among those exposed to an excessive level of electromagnetic radiation have become more frequent. This is not only about the so-called classic symptoms, but also about the developing fear of EMR. Such fear often develops into a phobia, a person begins to panic at the thought that any emission of radiation can provoke pain in one or another organ or part of the body.
- Stillbirth - according to official data, today the risk of fetal death increases by 15%, provided that the mother is in constant contact with sources of electromagnetic radiation. In addition to stillbirth, the likelihood of developing pathologies in an unborn child increases, slowing down in development, premature birth, miscarriage. Such is the impact of electromagnetic radiation on human health and future generations.
In addition to the huge negative effect of electromagnetic radiation on the human body, these waves can poison environment. The most susceptible areas include areas with a large accumulation of high-frequency power lines. Often they are located far from residential buildings, however, in individual cases, there is the presence of such power lines near settlements.
vegetable and animal world also exposed to the negative effects of harmful rays. In turn, a person eats irradiated animals and food products and, as a result, receives an additional dose of radiation-infected particles into his body. Such a process is extremely difficult to control due to factors beyond human control, but it is still possible to influence it.
Video: invisible enemy - electromagnetic radiation.
Data
To understand what constitutes the effect of electromagnetic fields on the human body, it is enough to familiarize yourself with the following facts:
- Changes in the blood and urine of a 9-year-old child 15 minutes after sitting at the computer coincide with changes in the analyzes of a cancer patient. Teenagers are subject to similar influence after half an hour of being near the computer. And an adult undergoes a change in the analyzes after 2 hours.
- The signal coming from a portable radiotelephone is able to penetrate the brain at a distance of up to 37.5 mm.
- Electricians are 13 times more likely to develop brain cancer than other professions. The level of the magnetic field in such workers is practically destroyed.
- A 13-year-old child who talks on the phone for about 2 minutes undergoes a bioelectrical brain change that takes place several hours after the conversation.
- Animals, even slightly irradiated with a dose of electromagnetic radiation, began to lag behind in development, acquired pathologies in the body, as with radiation.
The electromagnetic emission standards have the following meanings:
- Radio waves - ultrashort (0.1mm-1m/30MHz-300GHz), short (10-100m/3MHz-30MHz), medium (100m-1km/300kHz-3MHz), long (1km-10km/30kHz-300kHz), extra long (more than 10 km / less than 30 kHz).
- Optical radiation - ultraviolet (380-10nm/7.5*10V 14stHz-3*10V 16stHz), visible radiation (780-380nm/429THz-750THz), infrared radiation (1mm-780nm/300GHz-429THz) .
- Ionizing electromagnetic radiation - X-ray, gamma. A more detailed table of calculations of EMP norms includes additional sources of propagation of harmful waves.
It is not possible to completely protect yourself from the effects of harmful waves. However, today there are a number of factors that can prevent the excessive influence of electromagnetic radiation on the human body:
- Acquisition of a special dosimeter. Such a detector will help to calculate the most dangerous sources of radiation by calculating the frequency of their waves and, as a result, reduce the time spent near such sources or eliminate them completely. Devices for measuring electromagnetic fields are available at any household store.
- Separation of radiation sources by area. It is not recommended to operate electromagnetic devices in a close radius between each other, otherwise their negative impact on the environment and the human body increases, causing maximum harm.
- Isolation of radiation sources. We are talking, for example, about the refrigerator. It is advisable to use it at a distance from the dining table. A similar situation with a computer or laptop: the distance to the place of deployment (sofa, bed) should be at least one and a half meters.
- Exclusion of toys with EMP. The electromagnetic effect of radio-controlled and electrical attributes for a children's room poses a serious threat to the health of an adult, and is extremely destructive for children. It is recommended to rid the room of EMP-radiated toys.
- Radiotelephone isolation. This technique is capable of emitting harmful waves to a radius of up to 10 meters. It is extremely important to remove such electronics as far as possible. This method of protection will protect against the main source of harmful radiation, since the radiotelephone operates 24 hours a day.
- Avoid buying counterfeit phones. Low price on such goods is caused by the harmful radiation of electromagnetic waves on a person in the first place.
- Careful selection of household appliances. In this case, we are talking directly about devices with a steel case.
In addition to the above factors, there are well-known simple ways protection against electromagnetic radiation, the observance of which will also allow you to protect yourself from EMP, reducing the risk of exposure to the lowest indicator:
- It is not recommended to be near a working microwave oven, since its waves have an extremely negative impact on the environment, if we take household appliances in comparison.
- It is undesirable to be too close to the monitor.
- Excluded being close to high-frequency power lines.
- It is recommended to avoid an increased amount of jewelry on the body, which is desirable to remove before going to bed.
- Approved the presence of electrical appliances, analog household appliances, appliances and wiring at a distance of 2 meters from the bed.
- A minimum amount of time near working electrical appliances and similar equipment is recommended.
- It is undesirable to find idle devices in the on state.
Often, people do not attach much importance to the harm that electromagnetic radiation can cause the most common household appliances and other factors surrounding them, because they are not able to see their waves. This feature makes EMR extremely dangerous for the life of all living things.
Having the ability to accumulate in the body, harmful rays affect the vital systems, manifesting themselves in a variety of diseases and ailments. The whole scale of this problem will be able to be seen by mankind a generation later - only then will a specific impact on the health of those who happened to live their lives surrounded by EMR sources be indicated.

Electromagnetic field
The human body has its own electromagnetic field, like any organism on earth, thanks to which all the cells of the body work harmoniously. Human electromagnetic radiation is also called the biofield (its visible part is the aura). Do not forget that this field is the main protective shell of our body from any negative influence. Destroying it, 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, begin to act on our electromagnetic field, then chaos begins in the body. This leads to a drastic deterioration in health.
The natural electromagnetic background has always accompanied people. Life on the planet originated under the influence of an abundant electromagnetic background. For thousands of years, this background has not undergone significant changes. The influence of the electromagnetic field on the various functions of a wide variety of living organisms was stable. This applies both to its simplest representatives and to the most highly organized beings.
As humanity “matureds”, the intensity of this background began to increase continuously due to artificial man-made sources: overhead power transmission lines, household electrical appliances, radio relay and cellular communication lines, and so on. Our brain can be compared to a giant organic computer, inside which the most complex bioelectrical processes are constantly taking place. The impact on them of a high-frequency external electromagnetic field cannot pass without consequences.
In search of an answer, we will have to accept the concept that a person has not only a material body, consisting of an unimaginably complex combination of atoms and molecules, but also has one more component - an electromagnetic field. It is the presence of these two components that ensures the connection of a person with the outside world.

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 electromagnetic radiation on the cardiovascular system:
In the state of human health, the quality of blood plays a paramount role. What is the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the blood? All elements of this life-giving fluid have certain electrical potentials and charges. Electrical and magnetic components that form electromagnetic waves can cause destruction or, conversely, adhesion of erythrocytes, platelets, and cause obstruction of cell membranes. And their action on the hematopoietic organs causes disturbances in the work of the entire hematopoietic system. The reaction of the body to such a pathology is the release of excessive doses of adrenaline. All these processes have a very negative effect on the work of the heart muscle, blood pressure, myocardial conduction and can cause arrhythmias.

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

Sources of electromagnetic radiation
Influence of electromagnetic radiation of various household appliances, μW / sq. cm (power flux density)
It should not be forgotten that the source of electromagnetic radiation is any object that works on electric current. Therefore, electrical wiring in the house, lamps, electric clocks, heaters and boilers - all this is a source of electromagnetic radiation. All of them have a negative impact on our health. The harm of electromagnetic radiation is equal to the harm of radiation and even more.
Which type of radiation has the highest penetrating power?
What range of electromagnetic radiation is the most dangerous? It's not all that simple. The process of radiation and absorption of energy occurs in the form of certain portions - quanta. The shorter the wavelength, the more energy its quanta have and the more trouble it can do when it enters the human body.
The most "energetic" quanta are in hard X-ray and gamma radiation. All the insidiousness of short-wave radiation is that we do not feel the radiation itself, but only feel the consequences of their harmful effects, which largely depend on the depth of their penetration into human tissues and organs.
What type of radiation has the highest penetrating power? Of course, this is radiation with a minimum wavelength, that is:
X-ray;
And gamma rays.
It is the quanta of these radiations that have the greatest penetrating power and the most dangerous thing is that they ionize atoms. As a result, there is a possibility of hereditary mutations, even at low doses of radiation.
Examples:
router, also known as a router, is a network device that allows you to choose the optimal direction of data transfer from the provider to computers, laptops and smartphones of users without wires. The absence of wired communication means the transmission of information through electromagnetic radiation. Since routers operate at ultra-high frequencies, the question is completely legitimate - is the radiation from a wifi router harmful?
When exposed to this frequency on the cells of the human body, there is a convergence and friction of the molecules of water, fat and glucose, accompanied by an increase in temperature.
Such frequencies are provided by nature for the exchange of intracellular information between organs and systems of the body. Long-term, external influence on this range from wireless local networks can introduce dysfunction in the process of cell growth and division.
The harm of wifi radiation is exacerbated by the radius and data transfer rate. An excellent illustration of this fact is the enormous speed of transferring a large amount of information when downloading videos, photos and other data. In this case, the transmitting medium is air, and the carrier frequency is this very medium-wave frequency range. And, since our cells are able to transmit and receive energy at different frequencies, the negative impact of the frequency range of the router is quite acceptable.
Do not forget that the radiation power decreases in direct proportion to the increase in the square of the distance to the "culprit" of the radiation.
Telephone. Unlike other household appliances, a mobile phone at the time of operation is located almost close to the brain and eye. Therefore, the negative impact on the human body of cell phone radiation is incomparably greater than the impact of, say, a computer or TV.
The radiation that the mobile tube generates is absorbed by the tissues of the head - the cells of the brain, the retina of the eye and all visual and auditory structures.
How to reduce the negative impact of electromagnetic radiation
The above symptoms are indicative of biological influence electromagnetic radiation on human health. The danger is aggravated by the fact that we do not feel the effects of these fields and the negative effect accumulates over time.
Note! We do not suggest that you refuse to use electrical appliances, transport and cellular communications. Today it is meaningless and will lead nowhere.
But today there is effective protection against electromagnetic radiation, which helps thousands of people stay healthy. This is especially true for children and pregnant women, on whom EMR produces the most negative impact.
How to protect yourself and your loved ones from electromagnetic fields and radiation? The implementation of the following recommendations will minimize the consequences of the operation of electronic household appliances.
1. Get a special dosimeter.
2. Turn on the microwave oven, computer, cell phone, and so on in turn, and measure the dose recorded by the device.

Our everyday life includes more and more diverse technology, facilitating and decorating our lives. But the effect of electromagnetic radiation on humans is not a myth. Microwave ovens, electric grills, cell phones and some models of electric shavers are champions in terms of the degree of influence on a person. It is almost impossible to refuse these blessings of civilization, but one should always remember the reasonable exploitation of all the technology around us.
The interaction of external electromagnetic fields with the human body is carried out by inducing internal fields and electric currents, the magnitude and distribution of which in the human body depends on the following main parameters:
size, shape, anatomical structure of the body;
electrical and magnetic properties of tissues (electrical and magnetic conductivity and permeability);
characteristics of the electromagnetic field (frequency, intensity, etc.).
All this determines the complex nature of the impact of EMR on the human body, which represents a specific volume-spatial composition of various organs and tissues from a dielectric and conductive material. This impact can be represented as follows.
The human body consists of many cells with a liquid content and an intercellular fluid, which is an electrolyte. Cell membranes are good dielectrics and reliably isolate the intracellular phase. As a result, ion currents arise in a constant electric field, which flow only through the intercellular fluid.
In alternating EMF, cell membranes lose their dielectric properties. With increasing frequency, the intracellular environment is increasingly involved in the overall ionic conduction, which leads to an increase in energy absorption. At an EMF frequency of more than 10 6 ... 10 7 Hz, the ionic conductivity of the medium remains practically constant, and the energy absorption continues to increase due to vibrational losses of the formed dipole molecules of the medium (mainly water and proteins).
Thus, the absorption of EMR energy in tissues is carried out due to the electrical resistance of the medium when conduction currents occur (losses of ionic conductivity) and due to friction (rotation) of dipole molecules in a viscous medium (dielectric losses). The consequence of the absorption of EMP energy is the thermal effect, i.e. heating of human tissues. The greater the field strength and exposure time, the stronger the indicated effect.
The absorption and distribution of the absorbed energy inside the body also significantly depends on the shape, size, and ratio of the dimensions of the body to the radiation wavelength. From these positions, 3 areas can be distinguished in the EMR spectrum:
EMI with frequency up to 30 MHz;
EMR with a frequency of 30 MHz to 10 GHz;
EMP with a frequency of more than 10 GHz.
The first region is characterized by a rapid decrease in the absorption value with decreasing frequency (approximately proportional to the square of the frequency). The second region is characterized by the presence of a number of absorption maxima, at which the body, as it were, draws the field into itself and absorbs more energy than falls on its cross section. This leads to the appearance of so-called "hot spots". For humans, the conditions for the occurrence of local absorption maxima in the head take place at frequencies of 750...2500 MHz, and the maximum due to resonance with the total body size lies in the frequency range of 50...300 MHz.
When a human body is exposed to EMR with a frequency of more than 10 GHz, almost all energy is absorbed in the surface layers of biostructures.
The energy of the field that penetrated into the body is repeatedly reflected and refracted in the multilayer structure of the body with different thicknesses of tissue layers. As a result, EMF energy is absorbed differently, which explains the uneven effect on different tissues.
The thermal energy that has arisen in human tissues increases the overall heat release of the body. Excess heat is removed up to a certain limit by increasing the load on the thermoregulation mechanism. With an EMR intensity of more than 10 mW / cm 2, called the thermal threshold, the body cannot cope with the removal of the generated heat, and the body temperature rises.
Human organs and tissues that have weakly expressed thermoregulation (brain, eyes, kidneys, etc.) are most sensitive to radiation. Overheating of tissues and organs leads to their diseases, and an increase in body temperature by 1°C or more can lead to irreversible changes.
When exposed to high-frequency EMFs, and especially microwaves, a living organism also has a non-thermal effect, which is the result of a number of microprocesses occurring under the influence of resonant effects of the interaction of external electromagnetic fields with internal fields of the body.
Exposure to EMR leads to various morphological and functional changes in the human body. With short-term exposure to EMR of low intensity, these changes, as a rule, are reversible, but at high irradiation intensities or during systematic irradiation with low, but exceeding the MPC, these changes are irreversible.
The negative impact of EMF on a person is expressed in the form of inhibition of reflexes, changes in the bioelectrical activity of the brain, memory impairment, the development of chronic depression syndrome, lowering blood pressure, slowing heart contractions, changes in blood composition towards an increase in leukocytes and a decrease in erythrocytes, disorders in the liver and spleen, clouding lens of the eye, hair loss, brittle nails. The immune and reproductive systems are also sensitive to EMF.
Recently, a number of works have been published on the possibility of developing autoimmunity under the influence of EMF, which is a serious pathology of the immune system. Autoimmunity is based on the fact that the body produces antibodies directed against its own tissues, cells and their components, which have a damaging effect.
There are also data on the association of EMR with oncological morbidity, and this applies to both the microwave and ultralong ranges. For example, a higher incidence of oncological diseases has been established in military personnel serving radars. It is believed that EMR is also one of the causes of leukemia in children.
Subjective criteria for the negative effects of EMF are headaches, fatigue, irritability, sleep disturbances, shortness of breath, blurred vision, and fever.
Electromagnetic radiation refers to the divergence of electric and magnetic fields. The propagation of an electromagnetic field occurs with the help of electromagnetic waves, which in turn emit charge particles, molecules, atoms and other components. The harm of electromagnetic radiation has been officially proven and confirmed by relevant research by scientists, therefore, as far as possible, its effect on the human body should be limited.
Formation and use of electromagnetic radiation
Electromagnetic fields that are formed by radiations of the same name are usually divided into natural, that is, those that exist independently and anthropogenic (arise due to the human factor).The composition of natural factors includes magnetic and electromagnetic radiation that is generated by the nucleus the globe. Man-made forms of radiation include high-frequency and ultra-frequency waves, as well as light rays and laser radiation. Human exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiation of both natural and anthropogenic origin tends to negative influence almost all organs and systems, as well as the body as a whole.
How electromagnetic radiation affects a person, as well as what consequences it leads to, has been known for a long time, but it is almost impossible to limit its use. This is due to the fact that this type of radiation underlies the activity of television and radio communications, since it is thanks to electromagnetic impulses that the visualization of the transmitted image from the television center to each television becomes possible.
This type of radiation is also widespread in the operation of mobile phones, since connections between subscribers occur using electromagnetic pulses. The impact of electromagnetic networks on the human body also takes place when using computer technology, connecting to the Internet and much more.
The generated electromagnetic radiation is widely used in modern society, because thanks to its generation we have access to radio and telecommunications, mobile communications, computer technology and much more.
The area of contact with the field (which has a detrimental effect on a person), the body's ability to resist and resist is also taken into account. A circumstance worth paying attention to when defining such a phenomenon as electromagnetic radiation is the consequences of such influence.

The influence of electromagnetic radiation on the human body
The influence of electromagnetic fields on the human body is manifested in a number of negative consequences for the organism as a whole, as well as for its individual components.The consequences of such an impact depend on a number of external and internal factors, but even the smallest of its effects disrupts homeostasis at the atomic and molecular level. With an increase in the intensity of influence, such changes can be expressed at the cellular, systemic or even organismal levels.
The nervous system suffers the most, as well as the cardiovascular system. First, there are symptoms such as headache and dizziness, general weakness, sleep disturbance, etc. Pressure suffers, changes are also manifested in an increase or decrease in blood pressure. This is followed by a slowing of the pulse, pain in the heart (may be accompanied by tachycardia or bradycardia), hair loss and fragility of the nail plates. In the early stages of damage, the consequences of electromagnetic radiation are reversible. It is possible to get rid of such effects by stopping exposure negative factor and after symptomatic therapy.
If the influence of the electromagnetic field on the human body had a direct connection with the violation of the main and medulla oblongata, which are especially sensitive to such radiation, changes in the nervous system are considered irreversible and are not subject to leveling. They can manifest themselves in impaired coordination of movement, rarely cause deviations in the work of muscle tone like a convulsive attack, etc.
Except for the pernicious biological impact on the body, which is manifested by a number of systemic disorders, the influence of an electromagnetic field on a person also contributes to the appearance of charges when the body contacts a metal object.
This can manifest itself when a person (who is not touching the ground) touches a metal object (which is in direct contact with the ground). It can lead to unpleasant pain or even minor convulsive seizures.
If you notice symptoms from exposure to electromagnetic radiation, you should immediately contact a specialized medical care. Termination of exposure to a negative source and self-administration of drug therapy will improve the patient's condition, but in any case, you should consult a doctor.
Methods of protection against electromagnetic radiation
The action of the electromagnetic field on the human body, as already noted, has a significant tendency to negative impact. Therefore, the desire of people to protect their body from such radiation is fully justified.The main methods of protection are:
So, we figured out how the electromagnetic field affects human health and what consequences the interaction of the body with radiation sources can lead to.
Answering the question of how to protect yourself from excess in the apartment, it is worth noting that compliance with all safety conditions and minimizing contact with sources of this type of negative impact will help reduce the risk of consequences.
