Biological effects from the effects of AMA can manifest itself in different form: from minor functional shifts to violations indicating the development of explicit pathology. The cause of the biological effects of AM on the body is the absorption of electromagnetic wave energy tissues.

In general, the absorption of EMI energy depends on the frequency of oscillations and electrical and magnetic properties of the medium. The shorter the wavelength and the greater the frequency of oscillations, the greater energy carries the quantum of electromagnetic radiation. The relationship between the energity of Yi the frequency of oscillationsf (wavelength λ) is defined as

where C is the speed of electromagnetic waves, m / s (in the air C \u003d 3 * 10 8),

h- Permanent Planck equal to 6.6 * 10 34 W / cm 2.

With equal characteristics of EMI, the absorption coefficient in tissues with a high water content is about 60 times higher than in low content tissues.

The consequence of the absorption of EMI energy is a thermal effect. Excessive heat released in the human body is discharged by increasing the load on the thermoregulation mechanism. Starting from a certain limit, the body does not cope with the tap of heat from individual organs, and their temperature can increase. The impact of AM is particularly harmful to fabrics with a weak vascular system or insufficient blood circulation (eyes, brain, kidneys, stomach, bull and bladder). Eye exposure can lead to closet of lens (Cataract). In addition to cataracts, when exposed to Amy, corneal burns are possible.

The thermal effect depends on the intensity of irradiation. The threshold intensities of the thermal effects of the EMF on the animal body decrease with increasing EMI frequency. For example, the threshold energy flux density for the UHF range is 40 μW / cm 2, and for the microwave range - 10 μW / cm 2. EMF with an intensity less threshold does not have a thermal effect on the body, but according to a number of theories has a specific non-prophetic effect. The data relating to the non-coordinating effects of electromagnetic radiation per person is at the moment are not complete. This is due to the lack of clear criteria for this impact available to direct tool control.

The degree and nature of the effects of AM on the human body is determined by the radiation frequency, the duration of irradiation, the intensity of EMF, the size of the irradiated surface, the individual characteristics of the person.

For prolonged exposure to Emy various frequency ranges with moderate intensity (above remote)it is characteristic of the development of functional disorders in the central nervous system with non-timbble shifts in endocrine and metabolic processes and composition of blood. In this regard, headaches may appear, a decrease or an increase in blood pressure, neuropsychiatric disorders, the rapid development of fatigue. Perhaps hair loss, nail fragility, loss of body weight. There are changes in the excitability of visual, vestibular, olfactory analyzers. At an early stage, changes are reversible, with the continuing effects of EMI there is a persistent decrease in performance.

In emergency situations and extremely high levels of Amyacute violations occur, accompanied by cardiovascular disorders with fainting, sharp increase in pulse and decrease in blood pressure.

Electromagnetic radiation, levels of which do not exceed the remote controlBut exceed the background, you can be viewed as a stressing factor. When exposed to such AM, significant functional changes in the state of cardiovascular and nervous systems are noted. A subjective person notes increased irritability, fatigue, headaches, sleep disorders, memory. In this regard, the specialists in the field of electromagnetic security have been particularly concerned with cell phones and computers, as well as various household electronic and electrical appliances.

Within the radio-wave range, the highest activity of the microwave field is proved compared with HF and UHF.

EMI's exposure mechanism

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

This field is the main protective shell of our organism from the influence of external electromagnetic fields. With its destruction, the organs and systems of our body are becoming easy prey for any pathogenic factors.

If there are other sources of radiation on our natural electromagnetic field, much more powerful than the radiation of our body, it is distorted or at all starts to collapse. And in the body begins chaos. This leads to a violation of the work of various organs and systems - diseases.

That is, for any person it is obvious that, for example, a buzzing transformer booth or a powerful electric generator is dangerous because they create a strong electromagnetic field around themselves. For workers, the norms of safe time and distance are calculated when it is near such devices. But here is that for most people are not obvious:

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

That is, the sources of danger are the most ordinary Household appliances surrounding us every day. Things without which we no longer present our lives: household appliances, computers, laptops, mobile phones, transport and other attributes of modern civilization.

In addition, a great impact on us is a large cluster of people, the mood of a person and his attitude to us, geopathogenic zones on the planet, magnetic storms, etc. (see page more details ).

Among scientists are still disputing 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 make clarity.

The electromagnetic waves themselves are most dangerous, without which a really no device could work - and their information component, which cannot be detected by conventional oscilloscopes.

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

How strong is the impact of the environment of us? We offer to view several videos:

How dangerous radiation surround us? Visual demonstration:

Of course, these are not all dangerous items that we use daily. More details about the sources of radiation can be found on the page:

Effect of electromagnetic radiation on human health

Weak electromagnetic fields (EMF) high frequency with hundredths and even thousands of watt shares for humans are dangerous in that the intensity of such fields coincides with the intensity of the human body's radiation in the usual functioning of all systems and organs in its 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 places of the body.

The most dangerous property of such impacts is that they accumulate over time in the body. As they say: "A drop of water is a stone sharpening." In humans, by the nature of the activity, a lot of various techniques use computers, telephones - a decrease in immunity, frequent stresses, a decrease in sexual activity, increased fatigue.

And if you consider the development of wireless technologies and miniaturization of gadgets that allow us to not part with them around the clock ... Today, almost every resident of the metropolis falls into the risk zone, one way or another by the 24-hour mobile and Wi-Fi networks, power lines, electrotransport, etc. .

The problem is that the danger of invisible and intangible, and manifest itself only in the form of various diseases. In this case, the reason for these diseases remains out of sight of medicine. Over rare exceptions. And, while you heal the symptoms of the achievements of modern medicine, our invisible enemy stubbornly continues to inflate your health.

The most susceptible to the influence of electromagnetic fields the blood system, brain, eyes, immune and sexual system. Someone will say: "So what? Surely this impact is not so strong - otherwise international organizations would have been alarming long ago. "

Facts:

Do you know that already 15 minutes after the start of work on a computer in a 9-10-year-old child change in blood and urine almost coincide with human blood change with cancer? Similar changes are manifested by a 16-year-old teenager after half an hour, in an adult - after 2 hours of work per monitor.

(speech about electron-ray monitors, which gradually disappear from everybody, but still meet)

US researchers installed:

  • most women who worked on computers during pregnancy, the fruit developed abnormally, and the probability of miscarriages was approaching 80%;
  • the brain cancer at electricians is developing 13 times more often than employees of other professions;

Effect of electromagnetic radiation on the nervous system:

The level of electromagnetic radiation, not even causing thermal impact, is able to influence the most important functional systems of the body. The most vulnerable majority of specialists include a nervous system. The mechanism of exposure is very simple - it is established that the electromagnetic fields disrupt the permeability of cell membranes for calcium ions. As a result, the nervous system begins to function incorrectly. In addition, the variable electromagnetic field induces weak currents in the electrolytes, which are liquid components of the tissues. The spectrum of the deviations caused by these processes is very wide - during the experiments, changes in the EEG of the brain, slowing the reaction, the deterioration of memory, depressive manifestations, etc.

The influence of AM on the immune system:

The immune system is also influenced. Experimental studies in this direction showed that the 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 when exposed to AM, immunogenesis processes are disturbed, more often towards their oppression. This process is associated with the occurrence of autoimmunity. In accordance with this concept, the basis of all autoimmune states is primarily an immunodeficiency in the thymus-dependent cell population of lymphocytes. The effect of EMF high intensities on the body's immune system is manifested in the oppressive effect on the T-system of cellular immunity.

The effect of AMI on the endocrine system:

The endocrine system is also the target for Amy. Studies have shown that under the action of EMF, as a rule, it was stimulated by the pituitary-adrenaline system, which was accompanied by an increase in the content of adrenaline in the blood, activating blood coagulation processes. It was recognized that one of the systems, early and naturally engaged in the response of the organism on the impact of various factors of the external environment, is the hypothalamus-pituitary-bark system of adrenal glands.

Effect of electromagnetic radiation on the cardiovascular system:

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

Effect of electromagnetic radiation on the sex system:

  1. There is an oppression of spermakinosis, an increase in the fertility of girls, an increase in the number of congenital defects and deformities. The ovaries are more sensitive to the influence of electromagnetic radiation.
  2. Women's sexual sphere is more susceptible to the effects of electromagnetic fields created by computers and other office and household appliances than men.
  3. Head vessels, thyroid gland, liver, sexual sphere - these are critical areas of exposure. These are only the main and most obvious consequences of the effects of AM. The picture of the actual impact on each particular person is very individual. But in one degree or another, these systems are affected by all users with household appliances at various times.

Effect of electromagnetic radiation on pregnant women and children:

The children's organism compared to adults has some features, for example, is characterized by a large ratio of the length of the head and body, greater conductivity of the brainstant.

Due to the smaller size and scope of the child, the specific absorbed power is greater, compared with adult and radiation penetrates deeper into those brain departments that in adults are usually not irradiated. With the growth of the head and the thickening of the bones of the skull, the content of water and ions is reduced, which means conductivity.

It has been proven that growing and developing tissues are most susceptible to the adverse effects of the electromagnetic field, and the active growth of the person occurs since the conception of approximately 16 years.

Pregnant women also fall into this risk group, since EMF is biologically active against embryos. When conversing a pregnant woman on a cell phone, almost all of her body is exposed to EMF, including a developing fruit.

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

Facts:

In Neurodiagnostic Scientific Institute in Spain in 2001, they found that 11-13-year-old children, two minutes of the cellular telephone speaking, the change in the bioelectric activity of the brain remains two hours after they put the tube.

The University of Bristol in the UK last year ended the studies that showed a significant increase in reaction time in 10-11-year-old children who used the GSM mobile phone. A similar results were obtained Finns at the University of Turku, who watched a group of children of 10-14 years.

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

It was established that even the small intensities of EMF are influenced by the embryonic development of offspring. The offspring of irradiated animals is less viable, there are anomalies of development, deformity, lagging in weight, violations of the function of the highest departments of the central nervous system (slow motion and decrease in the ability to preserve defensive and engine-food conditional reflexes), shifting the rate of postnatural development.

For irradiated EMP adult animals, a decrease in the number of fertility of the offspring, changes in the genital organs of females, disorders in the development of the fetus, a decrease in the percentage of cross-life, statistically, more frequently noted instance cases are characterized.

The study of the effect of EMF on the offspring of rats, subjected to electromagnetic effects by the parameters similar to what receives the human embryo when conversing his mother on a cell phone showed that compared to the control is statistically significantly increased the embryonic death mortality rate, the mass of the garde gland has been reduced, the number of developmental abnormalities has been reduced Internal organs, for the first 4 weeks of the postnatal period, the death rate of the rats of rats of all experimental groups was 2.5 - 3 times higher than in control, and the body weight is lower. The development of the rats also went worse: lagged the formation of sensory-motor reflexes, the duration of cutting the cutters, the formation was violated in the rats.

Electricity firmly entered our life and has become its integral part. But technical progress is associated with an increase in the level of electromagnetic radiation (AM), which has an adverse effect on all living organisms. Electromagnetic radiation is the oscillation of electrical and magnetic fields, which spreads in space at the speed of light. The man does not see him and does not feel, so it is not able to appreciate how it affects health. Meanwhile, the doctors of the whole world beat the alarm that Amy acts on the body like radiation. We will understand how electromagnetic waves affect a person, whether there are ways to protect against adverse effects.

Sources of electromagnetic radiation

Throughout human life, electromagnetic fields (EMF) are affected. If the influence of electromagnetic radiation from natural sources (of the Sun, the magnetic and electric field of the Earth) people are not able to change, then reduce the impact from artificial sources to them.

But actively using the achievements of scientific progress, a person, on the contrary, is increasingly experiencing an effect on the body of side effects caused by the work of various devices and mechanisms - electromagnetic waves from artificial radiation sources that surround us everywhere:

  • transformers;
  • cell phones;
  • medical equipment;
  • computers;
  • antennas;
  • elevators;
  • household appliances;
  • power lines.

Energy emanating from sources varies in frequency and wavelength - These are the main characteristics of EMF. Electromagnetic waves of all possible ranges that are used in science or technology are found and explored by scientists. The spectrum of electromagnetic radiation is formed from the set of all waves.

Spectral Range Range EMF

The light that is perceived by the human eye is part of the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, but only insignificant. With his study, other waves were opened. Electromagnetic waves include:

  1. X-ray and gamma rays are high-frequency electromagnetic radiation (3 - 300 MHz).
  2. Infrared radiation visible by the human eye light, as well as ultraviolet - mid-frequency radiation (0.3 - 3 MHz).
  3. Radio emission and microwave - low-frequency radiation (3 - 300 kHz).

All electromagnetic waves are used by a person and have an impact on both living organisms and the environment. The biological activity of the waves increases with a decrease in their length.

The radiation emanating from low-frequency and mid-frequency sources is non-ionizing. It means that harm for health with an admissible level of impact of AM is minimal.

The strong biological effect on the human body provides medical equipment - sources of high-frequency irradiation and ionizing electromagnetic radiation: X-ray devices and computed tomography devices. MRI and ultrasound are harmless to the body, because the diagnosis does not use X-rays.

A full spectrum of electromagnetic radiation in the wavelength is divided into ranges:

  • radio waves (100 km - 1 mm) - used in the field of broadcasting, in radar;
  • microwaves (300 - 1 mm) - apply in industry and in everyday life: satellite and cellular communication, microwave furnaces;
  • infrared radiation (2000 microns - 740 nm) are widely used in criminalistics, physiotherapy, for drying products or products;
  • optical radiation - 740 - 400 nm - a man visible light;
  • ultraviolet radiation (400 - 10 nm) gained widespread in medicine and in industry: bactericidal and quartz lamps;
  • x-rays (0.1 - 1.01 nm) are widely used in medical diagnostics;
  • gamma radiation (less than 0.01 nm) are used in the treatment of oncological diseases.

The boundaries between spectrum ranges are considered very conditional..

The level of electromagnetic radiation

Outgoing electromagnetic radiation from artificial sources EMF is low-level and high-level. The power level of the source affects the degree of electromagnetic radiation tension.

High sources include:

  • high voltage power lines;
  • electric transport;
  • tower of television and broadcasting, satellite and cellular communication;
  • transformers;
  • electric lifting installations (elevators, funicular).

Low-level sources include all types of household appliances, devices with CRT display and domestic wiring, sockets and switches.

To determine the level of EMI, a special device is used - fluxmeter. It fixes the value of the electric field strength indicator, in accordance with which protection measures are being taken if the norms are exceeded.

The maximum permissible level of exposure of the population is the value of Amy's tension, in which there is no harmful effect on the human body.

To count the dose of radiation, depending on the source, the distance to it and size exist special tables and formulas. Safe dose of electromagnetic radiation at 0.2 - 0.3 mkl.

How does electromagnetic radiation affect living organisms

Numerous studies of scientists led to the conclusion that the impact of electromagnetic fields on the human and animal organism is negativeHis consequence is disorders of the internal organs and the development of various diseases.

The effect of electromagnetic waves per person depends on many factors:

  • intensity (level) fields;
  • their lengths and frequencies;
  • temporary cutting effect;
  • human health.

Sources with a high level of EMF have a stronger effect on human health. The penetration depth of the body depends on the wavelength: long-wave fields act on the internal organs, the head and spinal cord, short waves - only on the skin and lead to the thermal effect.

EMF increases the risk to the health of a children's and weakened organism, as well as people subject to allergic diseases.

Side electromagnetic radiation and tips with constant exposure violate the activities of all organism systems and can lead to a radio wave disease, the symptoms of which are observed by many:

  • chronic fatigue;
  • state of apathy;
  • aggravation of chronic diseases;
  • constant headaches;
  • sleep violations and attention;
  • frequent depression.

If we consider that the average urban resident is subjected to the constant influence of the electromagnetic field throughout its life, then the radio wave disease can be diagnosed with almost every citizen and explain the emerging symptoms of its development. If you do not take measures to protect against harmful EMF, then the risk of chronic ailments (cardiac arrhythmia, diabetes) and constant viral respiratory disease increases.

After the short-term effects of electromagnetic waves, a healthy organism is able to fully recover and eliminate changes that have occurred during the elevated Amy zone.

With prolonged action of electromagnetic rays, bioenergy equilibrium of the organism is disturbed, the changes accumulate and become stable.

What harm to the human body

Health damage from sources of ionizing radiation has been proven long ago, and there is probably a person who would not know about the negative consequences of the effects of X-ray or gamma rays. Effect on human health from non-ionizing sources is still poorly studied, but scientists of the whole world have already proven its negative impact.

The main types of anthropogenic electromagnetic radiation:

  • high voltage power lines;
  • microwave and radio emission of wireless communication devices and household appliances.


Electromagnetic fields and radiation pose a threat of almost all human body systems
. Under their influence:

  • the passability of nerve signals from the brain will deteriorate to other organs, which is reflected on the activity of the entire body: brain coordination is disturbed, reflexes are dull;
  • negative changes in mental state are found: violation of memory and attention, in severe cases, the appearance of suicidal thoughts, delirium, hallucinations;
  • an adverse effect on the circulatory system occurs: Amy can trigger the sticking of blood body, which will lead to the blockage of blood vessels, arrhythmia, an increase in blood pressure;
  • there is a decrease in the permeability of cell membranes, which is why the body is experiencing oxygen starvation and insufficient treatment of nutrients;
  • hormone production is disturbed, since under the influence of electromagnetic fields, constant stimulation of pituitary glands, thyroid gland and adrenal glands occurs;
  • immunity (frequent ARVI, angina) decreases, and immune cells begin to attack their own cells (the occurrence of allergic reactions) due to the drop in the level of lymphocytes.
  • the risk of oncological diseases increases - it is evidence that the intensive effect of some frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum may have a carcinogenic effect;
  • a sexual function is oppressed in men (reduction of potency) and women (menstrual cycle failures, infertility).

Especially a detrimental effect of electromagnetic radiation has on the fruit in the womb.

The constant exceeding the permissible dose of Amy during pregnancy leads to the negative impact on the mother and to the pathologies of the child's development at different terms, especially in the first trimester:

  • formation of vices of various organs;
  • slow motion development of the most important systems of the body;
  • stillbirth;
  • premature childbirth.

In one of the studies of the effects of electromagnetic waves on pregnant women, a high probability of stilling and spontaneous abortion was established with an increase in the maximum permissible level of EMI. For those participants of the experiment, which were constantly electromagnetic emitter, the risk of miscarriage was twice as much. If a child is born, he has a high probability of development pathologies, since Amy affects the structure of DNA, damaging it.

The conclusion is disappointing - the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the human body is negative and negatively reflected on the activities of almost all of its systems. To avoid its destructive health effects, it is necessary to take care of the safety of vital activity (BC) and methods for protection against electromagnetic radiation.

Ways to protect against the influence of electromagnetic fields

Electricity permeates all corners of our life: from a simple incandescent lamp to complex industrial installations. A modern person no longer represents how it will do without household appliances, communications and telecommunications. To completely abandon the use of electric current and the benefits of civilization, most of us are not possible, but the fulfillment of some recommendations will minimize the destructive health effects from the harmful effects of EMF.

In enterprises where a person is forced to constantly face the action of high-level Amy, is obliged to install protective screens and strictly observe all sanitary and epidemiological requirements and rules of BC.

It is important to know that the level of EMF tension decreases when a distance from it is removed. So, to protect yourself from the harmful effects of high-voltage lines on human health, you need to move as a safe distance from LEP or other high-level sources by 25 meters.


In no case do not build residential buildings closer than 30 meters from sources with high electromagnetic radiation
And do not allow children to play close to transformer booths or testers.

In order for the electrical technique to facilitate the life of a person, and did not shorten it, it is necessary to follow the following advice and rules.

  1. To find out the degree of danger that comes from various sources of electromagnetic radiation at home and at work with the help of a special dosimeter.
  2. In accordance with the indicators, expand the electrical appliances in such a way that they are as far as possible from the recreation area and dining table (at least 2 meters).
  3. The distance from the monitor or television either should be at least 30 cm.
  4. From the bedroom and children's room, if possible, remove all electrical appliances.
  5. An electronic clock with alarm clock is not closer to 10 cm from the pillow.
  6. Do not be near the working microwave oven, microwave or heater.
  7. Cell phones are not recommended to bring to the head closer than 2.5 cm. It is not bad to talk through a loud connection, and the phone is to keep as far as possible from yourself.
  8. It is not necessary to constantly wear cellular funds in your pockets - in a handbag or a bowl of them the very place.
  9. Always turn off unused electrical devices, since even in sleep mode, a certain dose of radiation occurs.
  10. It is harmful to use a hairdryer before bedtime: Amy slows down the production of melatonin and disrupts sleep cycles. It is not necessary to use a computer or tablet less than 2 hours before the deposit to sleep.
  11. In the outlets for connecting electrical appliances it is necessary to check the availability of grounding.

It should be known that the steel body of the electrical appliances well shields the radiation emanating from them, and the electromagnetic waves are capable of penetrating through the walls: electrical appliances located in the next room or in neighbors can also affect the body.

All recommendations must be able to fully comply with future mothers if they want to endure and give birth to a healthy baby. Excessive passion for a computer or conversations on a cell phone during pregnancy carry a threat to the health that has not yet born to the child.

Technical progress greatly facilitated people life and presented a lot of the most diverse technology and electronics, medical devices helping us to be healthy, electric vehicles and elevators. But the negative impact on the person's electromagnetic radiation from electrical devices and devices, power transmission and tapes cannot disturb the specialists and scientists.

Numerous studies lead to disappointing conclusions that without the use of protection measures from EMF, human health faces danger. Therefore, if there is no possibility or desire to get rid of all the benefits of civilization and move to live in the forest, it is necessary to protect yourself and their loved ones from the harmful effects of Amy, following the uncomplicated rules of Railways to work with electrical appliances and fulfill the recommendations, the data above.

Technical progress has the opposite direction. The global use of various equipment operating from electricity has caused the contamination to which the name was given - electromagnetic noise. In this article, we will look at the nature of this phenomenon, the degree of its impact on the human body and protection measures.

What is it and sources of radiation

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

The spectrum of the radiation frequency of the electromagnetic field, allows you to classify it into the following types:

  • radio frequency (they include radio waves);
  • thermal (infrared);
  • optical (i.e., visible to the eye);
  • radiation in the ultraviolet spectrum and rigid (ionized).

A detailed illustration of a spectral range (electromagnetic radiation scale) can be seen on the figure below.

Nature of radiation sources

Depending on the origin, the sources of radiation of electromagnetic waves in world practice are customary to classify into two types, namely:

  • indignation of the electromagnetic field of artificial origin;
  • radiation emanating from natural sources.

Radiations emanating from the magnetic field field around the Earth, electrical processes in the atmosphere of our planet, nuclear synthesis in the depths of the Sun are all natural origin.

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

The radiation emanating from them may be low-level and high-level. The degree of electromagnetic field radiation tension is completely dependent on the source power levels.

As an example of sources with a high level, Amy can be given:

  • LEP, as a rule, high-voltage;
  • all types of electric transport, as well as an accompanying infrastructure;
  • television and radio sounds, as well as mobile and mobile stations;
  • installations for converting the voltage of the electrical network (in particular, the waves emanating from the transformer or distribution substation);
  • elevators and other types of lifting equipment, where the electromechanical power unit is used.

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

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

Separately, it is worth allocating special equipment used in medicine that emits hard radiation (X-ray devices, MRI, etc.).

Influence on man

During numerous studies, radiobiologists came to disappointing conclusion - the long-lasting radiation of electromagnetic waves can cause the "explosion" of diseases, that is, it causes the rapid development of pathological processes in the human body. Moreover, many of them contribute disorders at the genetic level.

Video: how electromagnetic radiation affects people.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v\u003dFYWGXYHW93Q.

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

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

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

Accordingly, under local irradiation implies an impact on certain parts of the body. Outgoing from electronic hours or mobile phone electromagnetic waves, a vivid example of local exposure.

Separately, it is necessary to note the thermal effect of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation into live matter. The energy of the field is converted into thermal energy (due to the vibration of molecules), on this effect the basis of the work of industrial microwave emitters used to heat the various substances. Unlike the benefit in production processes, the thermal impact on the human body may be destructive. From the point of view of radiobiology, it is not recommended to be located near the "warm" electrical equipment.

It is necessary to take into account that in everyday life we \u200b\u200bregularly exposed to irradiation, and this happens not only in production, a and at home or when moving around the city. Over time, the biological effect accumulates and amplifies. With increasing electromagnetic noise, the number of characteristic diseases of the brain or nervous system increases. Note that radobiology is quite young science, therefore harm caused by living organisms from electromagnetic radiation is not thoroughly studied.

The figure is visible, the level of electromagnetic waves produced by the usual, used in the appliances.


Please note that the field strength level is significantly reduced at a distance. That is, to reduce its action, it is enough to move away from the source for a certain distance.

The formula for calculating the norm (rationing) of the radiation of the electromagnetic field is indicated in the respective gostas and Sanpines.

Defense against radiation

In production, absorbing (protective) screens are actively used as means that protect irradiation. Unfortunately, to protect against the radiation of the electromagnetic field with the help of such equipment at home is not possible, since it is not calculated on it.

  • to reduce the impact of the emulsion of the electromagnetic field to virtually zero, you should move away from LEP, radio and TVs to a distance of at least 25 meters (the power of the source must be taken into account);
  • for the monitor and television CRT, this distance is significantly less - about 30 cm;
  • electronic clock should not be put close pillow, the optimal distance for them is more than 5 cm;
  • as for radio and cell phones, bring them closer than 2.5 centimeters is not recommended.

Note that many know how dangerously stand next to high-voltage power lines, but most people do not give values, ordinary household electrical appliances. Although it is enough to put a system unit on the floor or move away, and you will protect yourself and your loved ones. We advise you to do this, after which you measure the background from the computer using the electromagnetic field radiation detector to clearly make sure it is reduced.

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

No table can specify the exact safe distance from the specific electrical equipment, since the radiation may vary, both depending on the model of the device and the country of the manufacturer. At the moment there is no single international standard, therefore, there are significant differences in different countries.

You can accurately determine the intensity of radiation using a special device - fluxmeter. According to the standards adopted in Russia, the maximum allowable dose should not exceed 0,2mkl. We recommend to make a measurement in the apartment using the above-mentioned device for measuring the degree of emission of the electromagnetic field.

Fluximeter - Device for measuring the degree of radiation of the electromagnetic field

Try to reduce the time when you are irradiated, that is, you are not long next to working electrical appliances. For example, it is not at all necessary to constantly stand in an electric stove or microwave stove during cooking. Regarding electrical equipment you can see that the warm, does not always mean safe.

Always turn off unused electrical appliances. People often leave the various devices involved, without considering that electromagnetic radiation comes from electrical equipment. Turn off the laptop, printer or other equipment, unnecessarily exposed to irradiation, remember your safety.

We live on the planet, which is constantly (24 hours, 7 days a week) exerts on us a different kind of impact. Electromagnetic radiation, the impact on whose person has increased in recent years, is one of the main factors that determine not only our life, but also our health state. Consider how it is the effect of electromagnetic radiation per person, and what consequences are caused to them.

Sources of electromagnetic radiation

On our planet, there is a natural radiation background (PPF) in the form of an endless stream of high-energy particles in which there is live matter. The PF is cosmic radiation (about 16%), the gamma radiation of the Earth (almost 22%), the radiation of living organisms (within 20%), as well as radiation of the Toron and Radon (42%).

The PPF is ionizing radiation, the energy of particles of which when absorbing the body is capable of inducing the decomposition or excitation of substances at the molecular level. Within 1 hour in living cells, there is an average of 200 million - 6 billion such transformations. It turns out that all the organisms of the Earth in every second, starting with the moment conception and ending with death, fall under the influence of electromagnetic radiation of natural origin.

Developing, people began to use electromagnetic energy for their own purposes. So, humanity has created an electromagnetic field (EMF) of artificial origin. But in a short period of its existence, it already significantly exceeds the level of PPF. World energy resources are doubled almost every 10 years, which also affects the growth of EMF.

The greatest effect of electromagnetic radiation on human health and other animal organisms occurs in technogenic radio frequency EMF and low-frequency fields. Thus, in the localization of substations and super high voltage lines, the tension of the industrial magnetic field is higher than the natural level of the magnetic fields of the planet on average by 2-3 orders.

With the development of artificial EMF due to the use of radio transmission means of communication (including mobile phones, televisions, radio receivers, computers, etc.), the phenomenon of electromagnetic contamination, or "smog" occurred. Non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation of low frequencies (up to 1000 Hz) are created by electrical transport, numerous transmission lines and cable tracks. Some WHO experts believe that today the EM level of pollution is equal to its chemical pollution.

One of the most major impacts of electromagnetic radiation per person in cities are provided by the centers of radiotelevival gears that radiate around the ultra-screw waves of high frequency. For a long time, the strong influence of electromagnetic waves on the human body from household electrical engineering was noted. For comparison: When a person dries hair with a hairdryer, affecting it the device produces magnetic induction within 2000 mkl, while the natural EM background of the Earth does not exceed 30-60 mkl. Mobile phones, which in some people there are several pieces, emit decimeter waves of a large penetrating ability. In microwave ovens for cooking and heating, the energy of ultrahigh-frequency electromagnetic waves is used.

The interaction of EMF with the human body

To date, during the mass of studies, the impact of electromagnetic fields per person, which arose anthropogenic means. Technogenic EMF carry streams of different lengths and frequencies, adverse resonant phenomena, ultrahigh frequency emissions, from which the human body has not yet developed protection.

The regular effect of an electromagnetic field of artificial origin can be reflected on the performance of people, the ability to memorize, attention, lead to many diseases of various organ systems. An anthropogenic magnetic background at times increases the likelihood of the development of cardiovascular and endocrine diseases, malignant tumors, immunodeficiency, erectile dysfunction in men.

But if the strong effect of electromagnetic fields on the human body is quite investigated, the effect of weak effects is largely a mystery. It is assumed that it is weak exposure to an indirect effect in the form of carcinogenic and genetic effects.

Consider how electromagnetic fields of low and high frequency are affected on the body of people.

EMF effects of low frequency on the human body

The impact of the low-frequency electromagnetic field per person occurs so that the latter plays the role of the conductor. EMF low frequency provokes the emergence of current in the body. Since electromagnetic waves in this case have a length, many times superior to human dimensions, they have an effect on the entire body. Our fabrics and organs have different buildings from each other, that is, they have different electrical properties. Because of this, the impact on the human EMF low frequency will differ in different parts of the body. The structures of the nervous system are most sensitive to low-frequency radiation.

The influence of electromagnetic radiation on the human body is manifested in a slight increase in the temperature of the tissues, directly in contact with low frequency waves. The effects of low-frequency wave radiation were studied to increase the production of pituitary hormones and adrenal cortex, which in most cases leads to activation of the elements of the sexual system.

Researchers have established a certain relationship between the development of oncological formations and the influence of the electromagnetic field on the human body, but these results require additional analyzes and repeats. Today, the role of a low-frequency EMF on the occurrence of leukemia and brain cancer in people of different ages, which are regularly exposed to irradiation, is accurately determined.

Horicious for the human body are also ultra-low-frequency electromagnetic radiation. They can have the same effect on the electromagnetic field of a person, as well as radiation.

How do the High Frequency EMF Human Frequency?

The body's response on high frequency radiation (unlike low-frequency EMF) manifests itself in the heating of the tissues directly subjected to irradiation. Moreover, the thermal reaction is enhanced in proportion to the growth of the EMF frequency. In contrast to the low frequency current, the high-frequency current does not lead to the excitation of nerve and muscle cells.

The effect of electromagnetic fields per person can occur both locally (on certain parts of the body) and on the whole organism. It depends on whether electromagnetic radiation on the human body is fully or partially occurred, and also from the wavelength.

The energy of ultrahigh frequency radiation is most absorbed by the aqueous media of the body. These waves almost do not enter into interaction with skin and adipose tissue, but they have an effect on muscle fibers and internal organs. Now the effects of low-frequency radiation of low intensity on the central nervous system of people are studied in detail. It was found that it has a cardiotropic effect on the body.

Separate attention should be paid to the influence of microwave radiation on human health. The largest share in microwave pollution is given to radio stations and those objects that generate electromagnetic radiation in the ultrahigh-frequency band. Employees of such stations systematically arise migraine, malaise, inhibition, remembrance problems, etc.

Depending on the nature of the irradiation and the dose value, the damage to microwaves is made to divide into acute and chronic. For acute lesion, the thermogenic effect is characterized and short-term exposure to radiation. In chronic lesion, microwave affects the human body for a long time. It is terrible that the influence of electromagnetic radiation on the human body in this case is manifested remotely, and therefore it is extremely difficult to identify its effects.

Numerous studies have established a high sensitivity of certain organs and tissues to the effect of EMF, namely:

  • central nervous system (overexcitation of nerve cells);
  • organs of vision;
  • sex glands (in men developing impotence, the production of testosterone decreases, and women have miscarriages, toxicosis during pregnancy, pathology in the intrauterine development of the fetus);
  • cardiovascular system (myocardiodestrophia, coronary failure, etc.);
  • glands of domestic secretion;
  • immune system (in chronic irradiation, the development of leukopenia is possible).

The effect of the electromagnetic field on human health is manifested in the reactions of three types from the last side: excitation, heating and cooperation. Many scientific works are devoted to the first two, the third remains still poorly studied.
