In life, many pregnant women are accustomed to wearing radiation-proof clothing to prevent radiation from computers and other appliances. Studies have shown that radiation-proof clothing does have a good shielding effect. For example, appliances such as computers, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, air conditioners, and rice cookers that use 50Hz AC power in China can be effectively shielded. Now let's take a look at some related knowledge about wearing radiation-proof clothing for pregnant women.
Radiation Sources
Electromagnetic radiation affects pregnant women and fetuses mainly in terms of exposure time and intensity. Pregnant women are mainly exposed to electromagnetic radiation from commonly used appliances such as televisions, computers, mobile phones, and household appliances. The country has strict requirements for the electromagnetic radiation of these household appliances and communication products. Qualified products are safe for the human body.
Computer Radiation
There is currently no clear conclusion on whether using a computer during pregnancy will have adverse effects on fetal development. Pregnant mothers do not need to worry excessively about using computers. As long as they use computers normally, control usage time, and maintain a pleasant mood, the impact of computers on fetal development is not as serious as you might think.
Electric Blanket Radiation
Pregnant women should also pay attention to another source of radiation, which is electric blankets. Many pregnant mothers use electric blankets for long periods of time in winter because they are afraid of the cold. It is important to know that electric blankets are one of the electrical appliances that emit extremely harmful electromagnetic waves. After the electric blanket is powered on, it generates electromagnetic waves that can harm the health of the fetus. The hotter the electric blanket and the longer it is used, the greater the impact on the central nervous system of the fetus, and it may even cause deformities.
Places to Wear Radiation-Proof Clothing
However, for pregnant women, if they are in specific workplaces, such as workplaces with strong electromagnetic wave radiation or places where testing proves that there are high-energy electromagnetic waves, it is still recommended to use protective clothing products with better shielding effectiveness.
Consuming Anti-Radiation Foods
Eat more foods rich in collagen and elastic substances. Collagen protein in food has an adhesive effect, which can adhere to and excrete radioactive substances in the body. Moreover, the elastic substances contained in animal skin also have the function of repairing damaged skin. Foods such as kelp, seaweed, pig skin, and pig trotters are rich in collagen protein and are suitable for pregnant women to consume.
Recommendations
Many pregnant mothers are worried that mobile phone radiation will have adverse effects on fetal development. Therefore, when using a mobile phone, it is recommended to keep a distance from the brain as much as possible during dialing or answering, as the electromagnetic waves emitted by the mobile phone are strongest at this time. It is recommended that pregnant mothers use headphones or microphone to answer calls and reduce the duration of conversations.
Warm reminder: The shielding effectiveness of radiation-proof clothing is not closely related to its price. Overall, the smaller the opening and the longer the length of the clothing, the better the shielding effect.
