Hair dryer radiation

When it comes to the radiation from household appliances, everyone will think of televisions, microwave ovens, mobile phones, computers, etc., but often ignore hair dryers. In fact, hair dryers are also one of the household appliances with very strong radiation, and the hair dryer is closest to the head when in use, so the degree of radiation damage can be imagined by everyone. It is best to let the hair dry naturally when not in use, and it is best not to use a hair dryer on children.

Some friends may feel dizzy, weak, etc. when using a hair dryer. This is caused by the radiation of the hair dryer. Therefore, you must maintain the correct posture when using a hair dryer, especially when turning it on and off, try to keep it away from your head, keep the hair dryer vertical to your head, and do not use it for a long time continuously. It is best to use it intermittently, which is safer. The following is some information about hair dryer radiation, I hope it will be helpful to you.

1 Hair dryer, as one of them, is no exception. Every time you enjoy the gentle warm wind after washing your hair, you may not have thought that this small appliance actually consumes a lot of electricity per second. The power can reach 1000 watts, which is even higher than the working power of a behemoth like a refrigerator.

2 Although the working power of the hair dryer is relatively high, it can indeed radiate a relatively strong electromagnetic field. However, since the radiation from a hair dryer is a low-frequency electromagnetic field, although the radiation intensity seems huge, it is still lower than the intensity that will cause harm to the human body.

3 When using a hair dryer, because the radiation source is closer to the head than other electrical appliances, the radiation consequences are much more serious than other electrical appliances, especially when it is turned on and off, the radiation is the greatest. When in use, the greater the power, the greater the radiation. The harm of radiation to pregnant women and fetuses is self-evident. In severe cases, it can cause birth defects in the fetus.

4 Pregnant women using hair dryers are prone to headaches, dizziness, and lack of energy. In addition, the hot air from the hair dryer contains asbestos fiber particles, which are harmful to pregnant women and fetuses.

5 In order to avoid birth defects caused by the external environment during pregnancy, pregnant women should avoid X-rays, taking medicines indiscriminately, using hair dryers, etc. in the first three months of pregnancy.

6 According to a survey, the incidence of fetal malformations among pregnant women who frequently use hair dryers is more than 1 times higher than that among normal pregnant women.

Precautions

An ordinary 1000-watt household hair dryer has a radiation value of about 350 milligauss, while a television and computer monitor have radiation values ​​of approximately 45 milligauss and 100 milligauss, respectively. It can be seen that the radiation from the hair dryer is still relatively strong, especially when it is turned on and off. The strongest radiation from a hair dryer is from the motor at the rear end. Since it is very close to the head when in use, it can easily cause dizziness and fatigue, which is not good for pregnant women and fetuses. Therefore, it is best for expectant mothers not to use a hair dryer.

How to use a hair dryer correctly

1. Keep the hair dryer as far away from your head as possible when turning it on and off.

2 When using, it is best to keep the hair dryer vertically to the head and at a safe distance of 15 cm.

3 Just blow dry and do not exceed half an hour. If you want to use it for a long time, it is best to take a break.

4. Do not grab the hair dryer head with your hands.

5. Adding "magnetic materials" such as iron sheets to the inside of the "handle" can reduce electromagnetic waves.

6 In addition, avoid using the hair dryer in humid places to avoid the risk of electric leakage. Try to use medium or low temperatures, but do not use high temperatures for a long time to avoid burns.
