Base Station Radiation (1)
Do you know what radiation is?
With the development of science and technology, the application scope of technology products has covered all aspects of our daily life. From the most commonly used televisions, mobile phones, computers, induction cookers, and microwave ovens, to the less concerned high-voltage wires, substations, and communication base stations, these devices and facilities generate electromagnetic radiation. Therefore, electromagnetic radiation is ubiquitous in our lives.
Do you know? In nature, as long as it is an object with a temperature above absolute zero, objects with a temperature, including our human body, are emitting energy to the outside world, which is what we generally call radiation.
It is no exaggeration to say that just basking in the sun every day is also a process of being irradiated.
That is to say, we live in a large magnetic field every day, we use electromagnetic radiation, but we are also irradiated all the time?
Just as the sun transmits light energy to the earth, flames transmit heat energy to the surroundings. Radiation is actually just a phenomenon in which energy spreads outward. Radiation is further divided into ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation. Like the atomic bomb, the Japanese nuclear leak, and the radiation generated by Chornobyl, it is called ionizing radiation, generally called rays. For example, Alpha rays, beta rays, X-rays - Roentgen rays, etc., are the real culprits that people usually talk about. It destroys the cellular structure of the organism and is one of the causes of cancer.
Compared with the terrifying ionizing radiation, the electromagnetic radiation generated by electric fans, mobile phones, induction cookers, and other electrical appliances in daily life, as well as communication base stations, belongs to the range of non-ionizing radiation, which is much safer than ionizing radiation.
From a scientific point of view, the effects of electromagnetic radiation on living organisms are reflected in three aspects.
The first is the thermal effect. More than 70% of the water molecules in the human body rub against each other after being exposed to electromagnetic radiation, causing the body to heat up, thereby affecting the temperature around the organs in the body.
The second is the non-thermal effect. Electromagnetic radiation will disrupt and interfere with the weak electromagnetic fields existing in human organs and tissues. For example, after being irradiated too much by X-rays, although the body will not heat up, it will affect the health of the body.
The third is the cumulative effect, that is, the cumulative effect of thermal and non-thermal effects over time.
However, there is no evidence that small amounts of electromagnetic radiation can pose a threat to human health. As long as we maintain good living habits, the proper way of using electrical items, and a normal state of mind, we don't have to worry about electromagnetic radiation.
