How electromagnetic radiation affects the human body. EMI protection

What is the opinion of modern science regarding the influence of electromagnetic radiation on the human body and which devices are the most significant sources of such radiation?

Alexander Kuksa

Ecologist, technical director of the independent environmental assessment Testeco

The influence of electromagnetic fields on the human body has been studied since the times of the USSR, back in the 60s of the last century it was confirmed, at the same time the concept of “radio wave disease” was introduced and Maximum Permissible Levels (MALs) were developed. Research in this area continues today. However, the effect and consequences of exposure to EMR greatly depend on each individual person, height, weight, gender, health status, immunity and even diet! Exactly the same as on the field intensity, frequency and duration of exposure.

The most significant sources of electromagnetic fields are those devices that we use most often and that are located closest to us. This:

• Cell phones
• personal computers (laptops, tablets, and desktop computers)
• from household appliances beyond competition microwave ovens

Communication devices produce an electromagnetic field at the moment of receiving/transmitting information, and due to the fact that they are located at a minimum distance to us (for example, a mobile phone is generally close to the head), the flux density of the EM field will be maximum.

Microwave ovens have a service life, if it is new and in good working order, then there will be practically no radiation during operation outside the oven, but if the surface is dirty and the door does not fit tightly, then the oven protection may not stop all the radiation and the fields will “pierce” even the walls of the kitchen ! And give the excess throughout the entire apartment or nearby rooms.

As a rule, the more powerful the current consumer, the closer it is to us, the longer it affects us and the less protected (shielded), the stronger the negative consequences will appear. Because the intensity of radiation from each specific source will also be different.

Negative effects on the human body

The longer we are in the electromagnetic field, the greater the chances of any consequences occurring. The danger is that without special equipment, we will never know whether we are currently exposed to an EM field or not. Only in critical situations, when your hair begins to move from static charges.

Exposure to EM fields can cause:

• dizziness
• headache
• insomnia
• fatigue
• deterioration in concentration
• depressive state
• increased excitability
• irritability
• sudden mood swings
• strong surges in blood pressure
• weakness
• heart muscle dysfunction
• deterioration of myocardial conductivity
• arrhythmia

The danger also lies in the fact that having noticed any of the signs described above, a person will begin to suspect anything but electromagnetic fields caused, for example, by hidden wiring running along the bed.

Safety rules for exposure to electromagnetic radiation on the human body

The best protection against EM radiation is distance.

The radiation density decreases significantly with distance. Each source has a fairly limited radius of action of the fields, so proper planning of places for rest/leisure, work and sleep is already the key to your health, however, you should not forget that any de-energized source of EM fields ceases to be such.

Therefore, do not forget to turn off unused devices from the network, do not place powerful EMR sources near your head, monitor the condition of household appliances and read the instructions for the proper use of household appliances.

The more expensive electronics are, the safer they are?

In theory, high-quality household appliances will be more harmless, since the larger and more “renowned” the manufacturer, the more he will care about his image and, accordingly, certify all his products as responsibly as possible. But this, of course, also affects the cost of the equipment.

However, it is worth considering that this only applies to new equipment that has not been subjected to physical impact, repairs, with proper operation, location, etc. If at least something has been disturbed, then the intensity of the radiation can change significantly.

What is the current opinion on this issue in the scientific community?

No one denies the harm of electromagnetic radiation to human health. But disputes and discussions continue regarding maximum permissible levels, since it is very difficult to clearly draw a line delineating harm and benefit to the body. After all, there are both therapeutic sources of EM fields and diagnostic equipment.

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. By destroying it, the organs and systems of our body become easy prey for any pathogenic factors.

If our electromagnetic field begins to be affected by other sources of radiation, much more powerful than the radiation of our body, then chaos begins in the body. This leads to a dramatic deterioration in health.

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 various functions of a wide variety of living organisms was stable. This applies both to its simplest representatives and to the most highly organized creatures.

As humanity “matured,” the intensity of this background began to continuously increase 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 of which the most complex bioelectric processes are constantly occurring. Exposure to a high-frequency external electromagnetic field cannot occur without consequences.

In search of an answer, we will have to accept the concept that a person not only has a material body consisting of an unimaginably complex combination of atoms and molecules, but also has another component - an electromagnetic field. It is the presence of these two components that ensures a person’s connection with the outside world.

Impact of electromagnetic fields and radiation on the human body

Effect of electromagnetic radiation on the nervous system:

DIV_ADBLOCK413">

Effect of EMR on the immune system:

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

The effect of electromagnetic radiation on the cardiovascular system:

Blood quality plays a paramount role in human health. What is the effect of electromagnetic radiation on blood? All elements of this life-giving liquid have certain electrical potentials and charges. Electrical and magnetic components that form electromagnetic waves can cause destruction or, conversely, adhesion of red blood cells, platelets, and cause obstruction of cell membranes. And their effect on the hematopoietic organs causes disruptions in the functioning of the entire hematopoietic system. The body's reaction 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 conductivity and can cause arrhythmia.

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

Sources of electromagnetic radiation

Influence of electromagnetic radiation of various household appliances, μW/sq. cm (power flux density)

We should not forget that the source of electromagnetic radiation is any object that runs on electric current. Therefore, electrical wiring in the house, lamps, electric clocks, heaters and boilers are all sources 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.

What type of radiation has the greatest penetrating power?

What range of electromagnetic radiation is the most dangerous? It's not 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 cause once it enters the human body.

The most “energetic” quanta are those of hard X-ray and gamma radiation. The whole 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 greatest penetrating power? Of course, this is radiation with a minimum wavelength, that is:

X-ray;

And gamma radiation.

It is the quanta of these radiations that have the greatest penetrating power and, most dangerously, they ionize atoms. As a result, the likelihood of hereditary mutations arises, even with low doses of radiation.

Examples:

Router, also known as a router, is a network device that allows you to choose the optimal direction for transmitting data from the provider to computers, laptops and smartphones of users wirelessly. 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 this frequency affects the cells of the human body, the molecules of water, fat and glucose come together and rub together, 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 exposure to this range from wireless local networks can cause dysfunction in the process of cell growth and division.

The harm of wifi radiation is aggravated by the radius and speed of data transmission. An excellent illustration of this fact is the enormous speed of transfer of a large amount of information when downloading videos, photographs and other data. The transmitting medium is air, and the carrier frequency is the mid-wave frequency range. And, since our cells are capable of transmitting and receiving energy at different frequencies, the negative impact of the router’s frequency range 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 is located almost close to the brain and eye during operation. Therefore, the negative impact of cell phone radiation on the human body is incomparably greater than the impact of, say, a computer or TV.

The radiation generated by the mobile handset is absorbed by the tissues of the head - brain cells, the retina of the eye and all visual and auditory structures.

How to reduce the negative impact of electromagnetic radiation

The listed symptoms indicate the strongest biological influence of electromagnetic radiation on human health. The danger is aggravated by the fact that we do not feel the impact of these fields and the negative effect accumulates over time.

Note! We do not suggest that you give up using 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 has the most negative impact.

How to protect yourself and your loved ones from electromagnetic fields and radiation? Following the following recommendations will help minimize the consequences of using electronic household appliances.

1. Buy a special dosimeter.

2. Turn on the microwave oven, computer, cell phone, etc. one by one, and measure the dose recorded by the device.

3. Distribute your existing radiation sources so that they are not grouped in one place.

4. Do not place electrical appliances near the dining table or rest areas.

5. Check the children's room especially carefully for sources of radiation, remove electric and radio-controlled toys from it.

6. Check for grounding in the computer socket.

7. The radiotelephone base emits 24 hours a day, its range is 10 meters. Don't keep your cordless phone in your bedroom or on your desk.

8. Do not purchase “clones” - fake cell phones.

9. Household electrical appliances should only be purchased in a steel case - it screens the radiation emanating from them.

Our everyday life includes more and more diverse technology that makes our lives easier and more beautiful. But the influence of electromagnetic radiation on humans is not a myth. The champions in terms of influence on humans are microwave ovens, electric grills, cell phones and some models of electric shavers. It is almost impossible to refuse these benefits of civilization, but we should always remember about the reasonable use of all the technology around us.

Continuous industrial progress and rapid development of science in the modern era have led to the widespread use of various household electrical appliances and electronic equipment. This creates great convenience for people in work, study and everyday life, and, at the same time, causes hidden harm to their health.

Science has proven that all consumer electronics, when used, generate electromagnetic waves of different frequencies to varying degrees. Electromagnetic waves are colorless, odorless, invisible, intangible, but at the same time they have great penetrating power, so that a person is defenseless against them. They have already become a new source of environmental pollution, gradually eroding the human body, negatively affecting human health, causing various diseases.

Electronic radiation has already become a new environmental disaster on a global scale.
To date, four International Congresses have been held around the world on the effects of low and ultra-low radiation on human health. The issue is recognized as so urgent that the problem of “electronic smog” has been put by the World Health Organization (WHO) in first place in terms of the danger of impact on human health. WHO considers “the current level of modern electromagnetic radiation and its impact on the population to be more dangerous than the effect of residual nuclear ionizing radiation.”

The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection of the countries of the European Union recommends that the governments of all states take the most effective preventive and technical means and measures to protect the population from the effects of “electromagnetic smog.” Special literature published in our country and abroad indicates the following manifestations of the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation on the human body:

1. a gene mutation that increases the likelihood of cancer;
2. disturbances in the normal electrophysiology of the human body, which causes headaches, insomnia, tachycardia;
3. eye damage causing various ophthalmological diseases, in severe cases – up to complete loss of vision;
4. modification of signals sent by hormones of the parathyroid glands on cell membranes, inhibition of bone growth in children;
5. disruption of the transmembrane flow of calcium ions, which interferes with the normal development of the body in children and adolescents;
6. the cumulative effect that occurs with repeated harmful exposure to radiation ultimately leads to irreversible negative changes.

Biological effects of electromagnetic fields

Experimental data from both domestic and foreign researchers indicate high biological activity of EMF in all frequency ranges. At relatively high levels of irradiating EMF, modern theory recognizes a thermal mechanism of action. At a relatively low level of EMF (for example, for radio frequencies above 300 MHz it is less than 1 mW/cm2), it is customary to talk about the non-thermal or informational nature of the impact on the body. Numerous studies in the field of biological effects of EMF will allow us to determine the most sensitive systems of the human body: nervous, immune, endocrine and reproductive. These body systems are critical. The reactions of these systems must be taken into account when assessing the risk of EMF exposure to the population.
The biological effect of EMF under conditions of long-term exposure accumulates over many years, resulting in the development of long-term consequences, including degenerative processes of the central nervous system, blood cancer (leukemia), brain tumors, and hormonal diseases. EMFs can be especially dangerous for children, pregnant women (embryos), people with diseases of the central nervous, hormonal, and cardiovascular systems, allergy sufferers, and people with weakened immune systems.

Effect on the immune system

Currently, sufficient data have been accumulated indicating the negative impact of EMF on the immunological reactivity of the body. The results of research by Russian scientists give reason to believe that when exposed to EMF, the processes of immunogenesis are disrupted, more often in the direction of their inhibition. It has also been established that in animals irradiated with EMF, the nature of the infectious process changes - the course of the infectious process is aggravated. The occurrence of autoimmunity is associated not so much with a change in the antigenic structure of tissues, but with the pathology of the immune system, as a result of which it reacts against normal tissue antigens. According to this concept, the basis of all autoimmune conditions is primarily immunodeficiency in the thymus-dependent cell population of lymphocytes. The influence of high-intensity EMF on the body’s immune system is manifested in a suppressive effect on the T-system of cellular immunity. EMFs can contribute to nonspecific inhibition of immunogenesis, increased formation of antibodies to fetal tissues and stimulation of an autoimmune reaction in the body of a pregnant female.

Effect on the nervous system

A large number of studies carried out in Russia, and the monographic generalizations made, give grounds to classify the nervous system as one of the most sensitive systems in the human body to the effects of EMFs. At the level of the nerve cell, structural formations for the transmission of nerve impulses (synapse), at the level of isolated nerve structures, significant deviations occur when exposed to low-intensity EMF. Higher nervous activity and memory change in people who have contact with EMF. These individuals may be prone to developing stress reactions. Certain brain structures have increased sensitivity to EMF. Changes in the permeability of the blood-brain barrier can lead to unexpected adverse effects. The nervous system of the embryo exhibits particularly high sensitivity to EMF.

Effect on sexual function

Sexual dysfunction is usually associated with changes in its regulation by the nervous and neuroendocrine systems. Related to this are the results of work on studying the state of gonadotropic activity of the pituitary gland under the influence of EMF.

Repeated exposure to EMF causes a decrease in the activity of the pituitary gland

Any environmental factor that affects the female body during pregnancy and affects embryonic development is considered teratogenic. Many scientists attribute EMF to this group of factors.
Of primary importance in teratogenesis studies is the stage of pregnancy during which EMF exposure occurs. It is generally accepted that EMFs can, for example, cause deformities by acting at different stages of pregnancy. Although there are periods of maximum sensitivity to EMF. The most vulnerable periods are usually the early stages of embryo development, corresponding to the periods of implantation and early organogenesis.

An opinion was expressed about the possibility of a specific effect of EMF on the sexual function of women and on the embryo. A higher sensitivity to the effects of EMF of the ovaries than the testes was noted. It has been established that the sensitivity of the embryo to EMF is much higher than the sensitivity of the maternal body, and intrauterine damage to the fetus by EMF can occur at any stage of its development. The results of epidemiological studies will allow us to conclude that the presence of contact of women with electromagnetic radiation can lead to premature birth, affect the development of the fetus and, finally, increase the risk of developing congenital deformities.

Effect on the endocrine system and neurohumoral response

In the works of Russian scientists back in the 60s, in the interpretation of the mechanism of functional disorders under the influence of EMF, the leading place was given to changes in the pituitary-adrenal system. Studies have shown that under the influence of EMF, as a rule, stimulation of the pituitary-adrenaline system occurred, which was accompanied by an increase in the content of adrenaline in the blood and activation of blood coagulation processes. It was recognized that one of the systems that is early and naturally involved in the body's response to the influence of various environmental factors is the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal cortex system. The research results confirmed this position.

The earliest clinical manifestations of the consequences of exposure to EM radiation on humans are functional disorders of the nervous system, manifested primarily in the form of autonomic dysfunctions, neurasthenic and asthenic syndrome. Persons who have been in the area of ​​EM radiation for a long time complain of weakness, irritability, fatigue, weakened memory, and sleep disturbances.

Often these symptoms are accompanied by disorders of autonomic functions. Disorders of the cardiovascular system are manifested, as a rule, by neurocirculatory dystonia: lability of pulse and blood pressure, tendency to hypotension, pain in the heart, etc. Phase changes in the composition of peripheral blood (lability of indicators) are also noted with the subsequent development of moderate leukopenia, neuropenia, erythrocytopenia . Changes in the bone marrow are in the nature of a reactive compensatory stress of regeneration. Typically, these changes occur in people who, due to the nature of their work, were constantly exposed to EM radiation with a fairly high intensity. Those working with MF and EMF, as well as the population living in the area affected by EMF, complain of irritability and impatience. After 1-3 years, some people develop a feeling of internal tension and fussiness. Attention and memory are impaired. There are complaints about low sleep efficiency and fatigue. Considering the important role of the cerebral cortex and hypothalamus in the implementation of human mental functions, it can be expected that prolonged repeated exposure to maximum permissible EM radiation (especially in the decimeter wavelength range) can lead to mental disorders.

Mechanism of influence of EMR

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How dangerous is the radiation that surrounds us? Visual demonstration:

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

The influence of electromagnetic radiation on human health

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

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

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

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

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

Data:

Did you know that just 15 minutes after starting to work on the computer, a 9-10 year old child’s blood and urine changes almost coincide with the changes in the blood of a person with cancer? Similar changes appear in a 16-year-old teenager after half an hour, in an adult – after 2 hours of working at the monitor.

(we are talking about cathode-ray monitors, which are gradually disappearing from use, but are still found)

US researchers have found:

• in most women who worked on computers during pregnancy, the fetus developed abnormally, and the probability of miscarriage approached 80%;
• Electricians develop brain cancer 13 times more often than workers in other professions;

Effect of electromagnetic radiation on the nervous system:

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

Effect of EMR on the immune system:

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

Effect of EMR on the endocrine system:

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

The effect of electromagnetic radiation on the cardiovascular system:

Disorders of the cardiovascular system may also be noted. It manifests itself in the form of lability of pulse and blood pressure. Phase changes in the composition of peripheral blood are noted.

The influence of electromagnetic radiation on the reproductive system:

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

The influence of electromagnetic radiation on pregnant women and children:

A child’s body has some features compared to an adult’s, for example, it has a larger ratio of head to body length and greater conductivity of the brain matter.

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

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

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

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

Data:

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

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

In the USSR, until the 90s, a large number of studies were carried out on the biological effects of EMFs on the developing organism of animals.

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

Adult animals irradiated by EMF are characterized by a decrease in the number of offspring born, changes in the genital organs of females, disturbances in fetal development, a decrease in the percentage of crossbreeding, and statistically more frequent cases of stillbirth.

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

Total:

Each substance has a certain radiation. It occurs due to the creation of an electromagnetic field around the material and its propagation in a certain direction. The further charged particles move from their source, the stronger the electromagnetic field of the substance, and therefore the stronger the electromagnetic radiation. In this case, the described radiation has the property of attenuation, that is, the further the electron is from its source, the less charge it has. Electromagnetic radiation has a certain effect on humans. They can both treat certain diseases and cause harm.

Electromagnetic radiation

What is electromagnetic radiation

Electromagnetic radiation refers to waves of the same name that are formed under the influence of electric and magnetic fields. From the point of view of scientists, the unit of radiation is a quantum, but at the same time it also has the properties of a wave (for example, it attenuates as the object of influence moves away).

Currently, the following types of electromagnetic radiation are distinguished:

• Radio frequency (propagates in the form of radio waves);
• Heat or infrared rays;
• Optical waves that can be detected by the naked human eye (without special instruments);
• Hard and ultraviolet radiation, which are predominantly in the ultraviolet spectrum (they are also called ionized).

Types of electromagnetic radiation

Nature of radiation sources

Sources of electromagnetic radiation are classified as follows:

• Artificial, when the electromagnetic field (EMF) is disturbed by special devices or equipment, usually created by man;
• Natural, when electromagnetic radiation comes from elements of nature. Thus, all electromagnetic fields and radiation generated by the planet Earth, electrical processes occurring in the layers of the atmosphere, and nuclear reactions in the Sun are natural.

EMR sources

Radiation is divided according to its level into low-level and high-level. It is the power of the source of electromagnetic waves that determines the parameters of the field strength and its radiation.

High-level emitters include:

• electricity transmission lines (mainly high-voltage, transporting the bulk of electricity and creating a large EMF);
• electric transport (trolleybuses, trams, metro, running on high-current energy);
• towers necessary for transmitting television and radio signals, as well as mobile communications signals;
• transformer substations and single current converters;
• lifting equipment that operates using an electromechanical power plant.

Examples of low-level sources of electromagnetic radiation are almost all household appliances, in particular:

• laptops, televisions and other devices equipped with a cathode ray tube display;
• irons, refrigerators, air conditioners and so on;
• low-current networks that ensure the transfer of energy from a source to various devices and equipment (the cables themselves, sockets, meters and other types of related devices).

Household sources of EMR

In some cases, high-level electromagnetic radiation is necessary. For example, in medicine, where X-ray machines, MRI machines and other diagnostic tools generate a large one-time dose of radiation to the human body, but this is necessary for diagnosing or treating certain diseases.

Human electromagnetic field

The human body is not only a good conductor for electromagnetic waves, but also generates EMF itself, being a natural source of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Oscillations of the bioelectric field are actively used to diagnose various diseases. For example, electrocardiograms and electroencephalograms make it possible to identify problems with the circulatory system, cardiovascular diseases, brain diseases, and so on in the early stages.

Human EMF

Attempts to measure the human electromagnetic field were made by scientists back in the 18th century, but without the availability of appropriate equipment that would have the necessary level of sensitivity, this was not possible. All studies were limited to only analyzing the effect of EMR on people.

A breakthrough in this matter was made thanks to discoveries in the physics of superconductivity, most of which occurred in the 60s of the last century. As a result of their introduction into science, instruments appeared that made it possible to more accurately measure the influence of the electromagnetic field on humans and to record the EMR itself of humans and other living organisms. This gave impetus to the development of a new branch of science - biomagnetism, which studied the EMF of animals and people, characterized by minimal values, as well as their influence on various natural processes.

The presence of a person’s own electromagnetic field harmonizes the functioning of all cells of the body. Some scientists call the EMF of people a biofield or aura. This area is studied by psychics. From their point of view, it is the biofield that is the body’s main defense against the negative influences of the external environment, including emotional ones. As soon as problems arise in the biofield, a person begins to get sick, he experiences various troubles, so it must be immediately restored, for which unconventional methods are used.

Effect of EMR on humans

In the process of research, scientists have found that prolonged exposure to electromagnetic waves on the human body can lead to various diseases, not all of which are curable. In most cases, a critical dose of EMR radiation can lead to pathological changes in human organs. The most disappointing conclusion is that changes as a result of exposure to EMF occur at the level of the genetic code, that is, the consequences can affect the children of the exposed person.

This state of affairs is explained by the fact that EMF has high biological activity, and this has an extremely negative effect on any living organisms. The level of exposure depends on three factors:

• the type of radiation in the field of which the person was;
• duration of stay at the radiation source;
• intensity or power of EMR.

The influence of electromagnetic waves on human health can be general or local. Thus, being close to a high-voltage power line, the entire body is irradiated; the effect of EMF occurs on all organs and on all parts of the body. A mobile phone, on the contrary, affects only those parts of the body or sensory organs near which it is located. Therefore, it is not recommended to talk on the phone for a long time to avoid high doses of radiation to the brain.

The influence of EMR on human systems

In addition to electromagnetic effects, there is also a temperature effect of EMF on living organisms. Since EMI is formed due to the movement of electrons along conductors in a certain direction, and the conductor has a certain resistance, as a result of the formation of EMF, the temperature of the conductor increases. This principle is used in microwave emitters, which convert electrical energy into heat, creating temperatures that allow metal to melt and other complex operations. However, this equipment has a significant side effect due to the high power of EMR and, accordingly, its impact on the tissues of human organs.

Important to remember! In everyday life, people also encounter EMR. This happens when using household appliances, mobile phones, traveling on electric vehicles, and so on. EMR is not removed from the body; it accumulates, which leads to diseases of the nervous system or brain. To avoid such developments, it is recommended to measure electromagnetic radiation in the apartment and periodically monitor its value.

Since EMR is of a wave nature, its influence on an object decreases with increasing distance, so it is enough to be at a safe distance from the source, and this will significantly reduce its negative impact.

Radiation protection

To avoid the described negative impact of EMR on the body, various methods of protection are actively used. In production, for example, protective screens are used that absorb radiation and significantly reduce its impact on humans. It is almost impossible to build such a structure at home, so household protection against EMP is based on the following recommendations:

1. You should be as far away from the radiation source as possible. So, for a power transmission line, the safe distance is 25 meters, for a monitor with a beam tube - only 30 cm. It is not recommended to bring mobile phones closer to your head than 2.5 cm. This makes conversation almost impossible, so a better recommendation would be to reduce negotiation time;
2. It is recommended to periodically measure the EMR level of used household appliances and monitor their operating time. This is especially true for children who often play computer games for a long time, thereby being exposed to radiation. Protection from electromagnetic radiation is the responsibility of parents, so you should set a clear mode for playing computer games or watching TV and strictly control it;
3. When the device is not in use, it must be turned off, since the device continues to generate EMF and radiate radiation while it is turned on. It will also make family members safer and healthier.

Methods of protection against EMR

So, electromagnetic radiation brings both benefits and harm. Even a person himself emits waves of a certain frequency and power; they can be detected using special equipment. The greatest benefit from EMR is achieved in medicine, where it is used for diagnosis and treatment. However, constant exposure to radiation can lead to negative consequences in the human body, so high-quality protection from electromagnetic fields and radiation is required. In production it is organized in a special way, but in everyday life it is enough to follow a few simple recommendations.
