The hazards of radiation from communication base stations

Today's communications are very developed, bringing great convenience to our lives and work. While it is convenient and fast, many people have begun to worry about the impact of radiation on health. Nowadays, there are all kinds of electronic devices, especially for faster communications. There are many communication base stations near where we live. Everyone believes that base stations will bring great radiation and harm to the body.

Case 1

We live in electromagnetic radiation every moment, but only when electromagnetic radiation exceeds a certain frequency and power and causes "electromagnetic pollution" will it be harmful to the human body. The interactive changes of electric fields and magnetic fields generate electromagnetic waves. The phenomenon of electromagnetic waves being emitted or converged into the air is called electromagnetic radiation.

Case 2

In fact, human beings live in an electromagnetic radiation environment every moment. Because the earth itself is a large magnetic field, the thermal radiation and lightning on its surface can generate electromagnetic radiation. The sun and other planets also continuously generate electromagnetic radiation from outer space. Although electromagnetic radiation is ubiquitous, it is not scary in most cases. When the electromagnetic radiation energy (its size is expressed by field strength) is controlled within a certain limit, it is beneficial to the human body, organisms and other organisms. It can accelerate the microcirculation of organisms, prevent the occurrence of inflammation, and promote the growth and development of plants.

Case 3

Whether electromagnetic radiation is harmful to the human body depends mainly on two factors: one is the frequency of electromagnetic radiation, and the other is the power of electromagnetic radiation. Only when these two factors exceed a certain allowable value and cause radiation pollution will they have the possibility of bringing negative effects on the human body. Therefore, electromagnetic radiation cannot be directly equated with electromagnetic pollution, nor can it be directly linked to human health.

Where are the areas with greater electromagnetic radiation in our daily life and work?

(1) Within 0.6-1.5 meters of the computer;

(2) The place where TV sets, stereos and other household appliances are concentrated in the room;

(3) Industrial, scientific, and medical electrical equipment and VDT surroundings;

(4) Around high-voltage transmission and transformation lines and equipment.
