In recent years, electromagnetic radiation has become the fourth pollution after air pollution, water pollution, and noise pollution. Many expectant mothers are concerned that electromagnetic radiation may harm their unborn babies. Here are some sources of electromagnetic radiation that are hidden around us. Expectant mothers can avoid them appropriately after understanding.
Electric blanket radiation index: ★★★★★
After the electric blanket is powered on, it will generate an electromagnetic field and emit electromagnetic radiation. This radiation may affect the cell division of the fetus in the mother's womb, causing abnormal changes in cell division, and most likely affecting the important organs and tissues of the fetus such as the brain, nerves, bones, and heart.
Tips: Expectant mothers should not use electric blankets while sleeping.
Microwave oven radiation index: ★★★★
Although the radiation from microwave ovens ranks first among household appliances, it is often overlooked but has a relatively large impact on expectant mothers. Do not place the microwave oven in the bedroom, and maintain a distance of more than 1 meter when using it. Unplug the microwave oven when not in use.
Tips: Although the radiation from microwave ovens is high, it can be prevented. It is relatively safe for expectant mothers to use them with caution.
Computer monitor and CPU radiation index: ★★★
The computer monitor and CPU are the two components of the computer with the highest radiation. They are one of the most discussed and focused on appliances for expectant mothers. The impact of computer radiation on fetuses is still inconclusive, but it is better to minimize exposure.
Tips: Maintain a safe distance from the computer, wear radiation-proof clothing, and control the amount of time using the computer are all ways to prevent radiation.
Cell phone radiation index: ★★
When a cell phone is in operation, it transmits radio waves, and any type of radio wave may have some impact on human health. When a cell phone is just turned on, it is in the state of maximum output power, and the radiation is highest at this time, so the phone should be kept away from the head when it is turned on. Radiation also increases when the signal is poor.
Tips: It is recommended that expectant mothers use dedicated headphones and microphones to answer calls, minimize talking time, and advocate the use of landline phones.
Television radiation index: ★★
Expectant mothers who indulge in watching TV will be affected by electromagnetic radiation.
Tips: When watching TV, it is best to maintain a distance of more than 2 meters, have appropriate indoor lighting, and not watch TV continuously for more than two hours. After watching TV, wash your face and clean the radiation substances absorbed by the facial skin in a timely manner.
Photocopier and printer radiation index: ★
Where there is current, there will be electromagnetic waves, and where there are electromagnetic waves, there will be radiation issues. For photocopiers, radiation is not the main problem and generally within the allowable range set by the country. The electronic coils and fan parts of printers have the highest radiation.
Tips: Occasional use of these two appliances by expectant mothers is not a big issue, but for office workers who use them frequently, they should maintain a distance of more than 30 centimeters or wear radiation-proof clothing.
