What Are The Harmful Effects Of Electromagnetic Radiation

What are the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation?

• sleep disturbances, including insomnia.
• headache.
• depression and depressive symptoms.
• tiredness and fatigue.
• dysesthesia (a painful, often itchy sensation)
• lack of concentration.
• changes in memory.
• dizziness.

Which types of electromagnetic radiation are harmful to humans?

Gamma rays are the most harmful external hazard. Beta particles can partially penetrate skin, causing “beta burns”. Alpha particles cannot penetrate intact skin. Gamma and x-rays can pass through a person damaging cells in their path.

How do electromagnetic waves affect human life?

Exposure to low frequency fields that are strong enough can lead to dizziness, seeing light flashes and feeling tingling or pain through stimulation of nerves. Exposure to radiofrequency fields that are strong enough can lead to heating of body tissue, and result in damage to tissues and organs.

Which of the electromagnetic waves are harmful to human health Why?

Extreme ultraviolet and higher frequencies, such as X-rays or gamma rays are ionizing, and these pose their own special hazards: see radiation poisoning. The most common health hazard of radiation is sunburn, which causes between approximately 100,000 and 1 million new skin cancers annually in the United States.

What frequency is harmful to humans?

The most restrictive limits on whole-body exposure are in the frequency range of 30-300 MHz where the human body absorbs RF energy most efficiently when the whole body is exposed.

Is phone radiation harmful?

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified RF radiation as a “possible human carcinogen.” (A carcinogen is an agent that causes cancer.) Should people stop using cell phones? At this time we do not have the science to link health problems to cell phone use.

Do cell phones emit EMF?

Cell phones emit radiation in the radiofrequency region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Second-, third-, and fourth-generation cell phones (2G, 3G, 4G) emit radiofrequency in the frequency range of 0.7–2.7 GHz.

What are the effects of EMF on the brain?

Neurological cognitive disorders, such as headache, tremor, dizziness, loss of memory, loss of concentration and sleep disturbance due to RF-EMF have also been reported by several epidemiological studies (Kolodynski and Kolodynska, 1996; Santini et al., 2002; Hutter et al., 2006; Abdel-Rassoul et al., 2007).

Is the human body electromagnetic?

Yes, all objects, including human bodies, emit electromagnetic radiation. The wavelength of radiation emitted depends on the temperature of the objects. Such radiation is sometimes called thermal radiation. Most of the radiation emitted by human body is in the infrared region, mainly at the wavelength of 12 micron.

How can we reduce electromagnetic radiation in our home?

1. 2) Use wired connections.
2. 3) Turn off electronics.
3. 4) Use a headset.
4. 5) Limit screen time.
5. 6) Use EMF shielding products.
