There is an unambiguous correlation between the intensity of electromagnetic fields (EMF), the duration of their exposure, and the state of public health. It is expressed in a decrease in the immunological reactivity of the body, an increase in the overall incidence, prevalence of diseases of the respiratory system, nervous system, skin diseases, destruction of the retina, and an increase in oncological diseases. In the vast majority of cases, irradiation occurs with fields of relatively low levels, the following consequences apply to such cases.

The biological effect of electromagnetic fields under long-term exposure accumulates, as a result, the development of long-term consequences is possible, including degenerative processes of the central nervous system, blood cancer (leukemia), brain tumors, hormonal diseases. EMF can be especially dangerous for children, pregnant women (embryo), people with diseases of the central nervous, hormonal, cardiovascular system, allergies, people with weakened immunity. The most sensitive systems of the human body: nervous, immune, endocrine and sexual. These body systems are critical.

The population living in the area of ​​the EMF, complain of irritability, impatience. After 1-3 years, some have a feeling of internal tension, fussiness. Disturbed attention and memory. There are complaints about the low efficiency of sleep and fatigue.

Given the important role of the cerebral cortex and hypothalamus in the implementation of human mental functions, it can be expected that prolonged repeated exposure to EM radiation (especially in the decimeter wavelength range) above the maximum permissible values ​​can lead to mental disorders.

The human body always reacts to an electromagnetic field. However, in order for this reaction to develop into a pathology and lead to a disease, a number of conditions must coincide - including a sufficiently high field level and duration of exposure. Therefore, when using household appliances with low field levels and / or for a short time, the electromagnetic field of household appliances does not affect the health of the main part of the population. Potential danger can be threatened only by people with hypersensitivity to electromagnetic fields and allergic persons, who also often have high sensitivity to electromagnetic fields.

In addition, according to modern concepts, a magnetic field of industrial frequency can be dangerous to human health if prolonged irradiation occurs (regularly, at least 8 hours a day, for several years) with a level above 0.2 microtesla.

Often a question is asked about the hazard-safety of microwave ovens, so we provide information about them separately.

A microwave oven (or microwave oven) in its work uses an electromagnetic field to heat food, also called microwave radiation or microwave radiation. The operating frequency of microwave radiation from microwave ovens is 2.45 GHz. It is this radiation that many people fear. However, modern microwave ovens are equipped with quite perfect protection, which prevents the electromagnetic field from escaping beyond the working volume. At the same time, one cannot say that the field does not penetrate at all outside the microwave oven. For various reasons, part of the electromagnetic field intended for the chicken penetrates outward, especially intensively, as a rule, in the area of ​​the lower right corner of the door.

The main sources of electromagnetic fields

The main sources of EMF are: Satellite communications, power lines, radars, cellular communications, television and radio stations, household electrical appliances, wiring, a personal computer, and electric vehicles.
