Home is a very personal place, where people spend time with their families, relax, and enjoy a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. As the demand for material goods increases, the home environment is also undergoing significant changes. Convenience and enjoyment have become the primary requirements for home furnishings, and household appliances have become the center of our lives. Computers, televisions, microwave ovens, induction cookers, stereos, refrigerators, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, and so on. Our lives are filled with these high-tech appliances. Just think about it, can we describe the various household appliances in our homes as "piled up like mountains"? Therefore, how to arrange these "helpers" has become a big challenge for us. We must not overlook the hazards of these "helpers".
No matter what kind of household appliance, they all have a common problem - electromagnetic radiation. Let's take a look at the hidden dangers that these essential appliances in our lives pose to our bodies.
⑴ TV radiation: Causes spots on the face. Television is something we almost all watch every day, but people often overlook the fact that televisions also emit radiation, and the radiation is not small. Prolonged television viewing can cause "television disease," which includes vision loss, cervical spondylosis, back pain, and indigestion caused by prolonged television viewing. Therefore, people should not watch television for long periods of time. When watching television, they should also pay attention to keeping the screen at eye level or slightly lower and avoid watching television in the dark.
⑵ Bathroom heater: Damages the eyes with intense light. The intense light from bathroom heaters is considered a type of light pollution and can easily damage the eyes. Prolonged use of bathroom heaters can cause dizziness, insomnia, lack of concentration, and even loss of appetite. Therefore, when using a bathroom heater, do not direct your eyes towards the heater light and try to minimize contact between your eyes and the bulb.
⑶ Disinfection cabinet: Irritates the respiratory system with ozone. Disinfection cabinets generally use ultraviolet light or ozone to kill bacteria, which poses a significant risk. Once ultraviolet light or ozone leaks, it can be life-threatening. Therefore, when using an ozone disinfection cabinet, make sure not to open the cabinet door during operation to prevent ozone leakage. Open the cabinet door only after 20 minutes of completion.
⑷ Stereo: Causes hearing damage, even deafness. While people are pursuing audio effects, they often overlook the fact that high-frequency sound effects from stereos can also be damaging to the human body. The noise generated by stereos can reach up to 80 decibels, which can directly damage people's hearing. Distortion caused by turning up the volume can make high-pitched sounds piercing, mid-range sounds unclear, and low-frequency sounds muddy. Therefore, when using a stereo to experience a thrilling audio effect, it is also necessary to control the volume and keep it at 1/4 to 1/3 of the maximum volume.
In addition, it is a good habit to always turn the volume knob to the minimum position after listening to music.
⑸ Refrigerator: Damages the nerves. The refrigerator is an appliance that operates in a high magnetic field. When the radiator of the refrigerator accumulates a large amount of dust, it also affects electromagnetic radiation, and the more dust there is, the greater the electromagnetic radiation. Due to this characteristic of the refrigerator, it should be placed in a location where people do not often stay, such as the kitchen. Try to avoid approaching or storing food near the refrigerator when it is running. Pay attention to cleaning the dust on the radiator of the refrigerator and use a vacuum cleaner to clean it regularly. At the same time, people should also pay attention to computer radiation, mobile phone radiation, and medical X-ray radiation.

Appliances in the home can also interfere with each other. Many people are already aware of these problems, but not all households are aware of the phenomenon of appliances "clashing" with each other. For example, electric cookers and electric heaters should be placed separately to prevent the steam produced by these appliances from causing moisture damage to other appliances. Televisions should not be placed side by side with electric fans because the vibration generated by the fan's rotation can affect the lifespan of the television.
