The refrigerator is a kind of electromagnetic radiation. The amount of electromagnetic radiation is 5 milligauss at the bottom of the front, and 1 milligauss or less when you are 30 centimeters away.
Electromagnetic radiation is generated by electric current, as long as there is electric current, there is radiation, but the current size of the different radiation is different. Long-term, excessive electromagnetic radiation will cause direct harm to the human reproductive system, nervous system and immune system, is the main cause of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer mutation and cause pregnant women miscarriage, infertility, teratology and other lesions of the predisposing factors.
Can directly affect the development of minors' body tissues and bones, causing vision, memory loss and liver hematopoietic function decline, serious cases can lead to retinal detachment. Excessive electromagnetic radiation also interferes with other electronic devices in the vicinity, affecting their normal operation and causing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems.
Therefore, electromagnetic radiation has been listed by the World Health Organization as the fourth largest source of environmental pollution after water, air and noise, and has become an invisible "killer" that endangers human health.
Extended information
Reducing radiation from the refrigerator
Remove the dust on the heat pipe. The back side of the refrigerator or below the cooling lines release magnetic fields dozens or even hundreds of times higher than the front (the front range of the refrigerator measured 1-9mG, the rear right in the center can be as high as 300mG). If the power of the refrigerator is not high, the humming sound is particularly long and large, if you use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum the dust on the cooling lines, it will increase the power of the refrigerator and reduce the magnetic field at home.
