EMF Awareness: Understanding Electromagnetic Fields and Minimizing Health Risks in Everyday Life”

By Jewlz

Electromagnetic fields are invisible areas of energy that are produced by the movement of electrically charged particles.

They are a natural part of the environment and can also be generated by man-made sources such as power lines, electrical appliances, wireless devices, and communication towers. There are two types of electromagnetic fields: non-ionizing and ionizing. Non-ionizing electromagnetic fields have lower energy levels and are generally considered to be harmless to human health at normal exposure levels. Examples of non-ionizing EMF sources include radio waves, microwaves, and visible light. On the other hand, ionizing electromagnetic fields have higher energy levels and can potentially cause harm to human health and DNA. Examples of ionizing EMF sources include X-rays and gamma rays. High levels of EMF, like those found in industrial settings or near powerful transmission equipment, can cause tissue heating. Some studies have suggested possible links between long-term exposure to high levels of EMF and certain health issues, including an increased risk of cancer, and neurological disorders, some people can experience symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, and insomnia when exposed to low levels of EMF, even within guideline limits. It should be considered to have Maintain a reasonable distance from electronic devices like laptops,smartphones, and Wi-Fi routers, especially when they are in use.

The intensity of EMFs decreases significantly with distance. Reduce the amount of time you spend in front of screens, such as computers, tablets, and smartphones. Taking breaks and incorporating other activities into your routine can help reduce your overall exposure.
