Today, with the proliferation of electronic products, we are constantly exposed to radiation. There are many sources of radiation in our daily lives, and some of them are avoidable. Appliances such as televisions and computers, which use video as their terminal display, are prone to accumulating a large amount of dust. Dust is also an important carrier of electromagnetic radiation. Even if the power is turned off, electromagnetic radiation can still remain in the particles of dust. It can spread in the indoor air with the dust and easily adhere to the skin, and even enter the body through breathing. The impact on human health is self-evident. This accumulation of radiation-carrying dust in the body can cause neurological disorders and dysfunction.
When faced with dust on computers and televisions, many people think that it doesn't matter whether they clean it or not. They see it as a matter of hygiene and believe that wiping it with a wet cloth is sufficient. However, this is not the case. The accumulation of dust on electronic appliances can also cause environmental pollution and safety hazards.
If a television is not cleaned for three consecutive days, a carcinogenic substance called brominated biphenyl furan will accumulate in the air, and the consequences can be imagined. When there is excessive dust, it can also adhere to electronic components, circuit boards, and heat sinks, causing these components to work under overload. Prolonged exposure to such conditions can cause electronic components to burn out, and accidents such as fires can occur if not careful. Do not think that wiping it with a wet cloth will make it clean. That is just a superficial illusion. Some dirt such as fingerprints, stains, and dirt in the gaps will still remain, posing a hidden danger to our safety.
Therefore, when dealing with appliances with displays, it is necessary to be diligent and clean them regularly. Remind yourself that by removing dust, you are also getting rid of the electromagnetic radiation trapped inside. This way, when faced with stubborn dust, we have the motivation to clean because it can effectively prevent the harm of radiation to our health.
Finally, it is important to use the correct method when cleaning appliances. First, make sure the power plug is in a safe unplugged state. Second, when cleaning the fluorescent screen of the appliance, use dedicated cleaning agents and clean, soft cloth or cotton balls dipped in cleaning solution to wipe. Finally, use a dry cloth to wipe again to avoid the appliance being in a damp state for a long time.
Editor's Note:
When the television is turned on or off, it generates static electricity continuously. At this time, a large number of microorganisms and particles are attracted to the static charge around the fluorescent screen. If you sit too close to the screen or watch TV for too long, these dust particles can adhere to your skin and cause skin diseases. Therefore, after watching TV, do not go to bed immediately. Open the windows for ventilation, wash your face and hands first, and then rest for a while before going to sleep.
