Discussion: electromagnetic radiation pollution scare

Pervasive electromagnetic radiation has seeped into our lives silently.

Scientific studies have shown that not only cell phones, but also a large number of electrical appliances used in the home, such as electric mattresses, televisions, computers, fluorescent lamps, microwave ovens, electromagnetic stoves, cordless telephones, cell phones, air conditioners, hairdryers, electric ovens, vacuum cleaners, deep fat fryers, coffee makers, electronic watches, air cleaners, radios, etc., all have varying degrees of electromagnetic radiation.

In the overloaded mental pressure and work intensity, urban people more and more rely on electronic communication tools, electronic office tools, household appliances, etc. to maintain their own efficient, fast work and life, but it is these countless electronic products to the unprotected human body bound in a dense network full of harmful radiation.

More than 100 years ago, the construction of the world's first power station marked the beginning of the era of electromagnetic radiation. In just over 100 years, electromagnetic radiation has penetrated into every aspect of human life, and is now entering an era of high absorption of electromagnetic radiation. However, the progress of the times is often to pay a certain price, people in the full enjoyment of electromagnetic radiation brought about by the convenience and comfort at the same time, but also increasingly feel the threat from electromagnetic radiation.

According to relevant experts, electromagnetic radiation pollution, also known as electromagnetic wave pollution, in the high-voltage power lines, substations, radio stations, television stations, communications equipment, radar stations and electronic instruments, medical equipment, automation equipment and microwave ovens, televisions, computers, and cell phones and other household appliances work, will produce a variety of different wavelengths and frequencies of electromagnetic waves.

In recent years, the media at home and abroad on electromagnetic radiation has been harmful to the report: Italy every year more than 400 children suffering from leukemia, experts believe that the cause of the disease is subject to serious electromagnetic pollution; the United States, a cancer medical foundation of some electromagnetic radiation damage to a sample of patients, the results show that people working near high-voltage lines, the growth rate of cancer cells than the general population 24 times faster; China's annual birth of 20 million children, the number of children born in the United States. China's annual birth of 20 million children, there are 350,000 for defective children, of which 250,000 for intellectual disability, some experts believe that electromagnetic radiation is one of the factors affecting.

How terrible is electromagnetic radiation? With medical science world-renowned scientists at Hopkins University Medical Center, research shows that even the most insignificant electromagnetic fields can cause nervousness, headaches, depression and insomnia and other symptoms, greatly increasing the incidence of various diseases; University of Tokyo, Japan, experts also found that, in addition to the electromagnetic field radiation, computers work will also be volatile hazardous substances in the air, which can induce allergic reactions and respiratory tract diseases; Television is also unsafe, scientists at the University of Adelaide in Australia have moved the television set for experimental use in front of the rats, day and night on, a week after some of the rats of the uterus and breast cancer, and some other rats immunity to a sharp decline. And the closer these rats were placed to the TV, the faster they died.

With the popularization of television sets, computers, microwave ovens, electromagnetic stoves and other household appliances and mobile communication tools, electromagnetic radiation pollution is increasingly becoming a health impact of the "invisible killer". Shanghai Medical University, a professor of occupational health, pointed out that "computer operation, its surrounding electromagnetic radiation, including X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared and ultra-high-frequency, high-frequency, medium-frequency, low-frequency and very low-frequency electromagnetic fields, but also electrostatic fields. However, the intensity of their emissions are very weak, and conventional instruments are difficult to measure. It is in this conscious or unconscious way that people are subjected to this electromagnetic pollution."

Currently, electromagnetic pollution has been listed by the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment as a pollution that must be vigilant and controlled, and for daily life contact with electromagnetic radiation generated by electrical products, which may endanger health, China Consumers Association as early as August 6, 2002 has issued a warning: life must be protected against electromagnetic radiation.
