The impact of electromagnetic radiation on the body. Human exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiation
Mechanism of EMR influence
The human body, like any organism on Earth, has its own electromagnetic field, thanks to which all systems, organs and cells of the body work harmoniously. Human electromagnetic radiation is also called a biofield. The visual representation of the biofield, which some people see, and which can be built by a computer with the help of special devices, is also called an aura.
This field is the main protective shell of our body from the influence of external electromagnetic fields. When it is destroyed, the organs and systems of our body become easy prey for any disease-causing factors.
If other sources of radiation, much more powerful than the radiation of our body, act on our natural electromagnetic field, then it is distorted or even begins to collapse. And chaos begins in the body. This leads to disruption of the work of various organs and systems - diseases.
That is, for any person it is obvious that, for example, a buzzing transformer box or a powerful electric generator are dangerous, because they create a strong electromagnetic field around them. Safety time and distance standards have been calculated for workers when they are near such devices. But here's what is NOT obvious to most people:
The same effect of destruction of the biofield occurs when exposed to weak electromagnetic radiation, if the body is under their influence regularly and for long periods of time.
That is, the sources of danger are the most common household appliances that surround us every day. Things without which we can no longer imagine our lives: household appliances, computers, laptops, mobile phones, transport and other attributes of modern civilization.
In addition, a large crowd of people, the mood of a person and his attitude towards us, geopathogenic zones on the planet, magnetic storms, etc. have a significant impact on us. (for more details see page ).
Among scientists, there are still disputes about the dangers of electromagnetic radiation. Some say that it is dangerous, others, on the contrary, do not see any harm. I would like to clarify.
The most dangerous is not the electromagnetic waves themselves, without which no device could really work, but their information component, which cannot be detected by conventional oscilloscopes.
It has been experimentally established that electromagnetic radiations have a torsion (information) component. According to the studies of specialists from France, Russia, Ukraine and Switzerland, it is precisely torsion fields, and not electromagnetic, are the main factor in the negative impact on human health. Since it is the torsion field that transmits to a person all that negative information, from which headaches, irritations, insomnia, etc. begin.
How strong is the impact of the technology around us? We offer several videos for viewing:
How dangerous radiation surrounds us? Visual demonstration:
Of course, these are far from all the dangerous items that we use on a daily basis. More information about radiation sources can be found on the page:
Effect of electromagnetic radiation on human health
Weak electromagnetic fields(EMF) of high frequency with a power of hundredths and even thousandths of a watt for a person is dangerous because the intensity of such fields coincides with the intensity of the radiation of the human body during the normal functioning of all systems and organs in his body. As a result of this interaction, a person's own field is distorted, which contributes to the development of various diseases, especially in the most weakened parts of the body.
The most dangerous property of such effects is that they accumulate over time in the body. As they say: "a drop of water wears away a stone." People who, by occupation, use a lot of various equipment- computers, telephones - a decrease in immunity, frequent stress, a decrease in sexual activity, increased fatigue were found.
And if we take into account the development of wireless technologies and the miniaturization of gadgets that allow us not to part with them around the clock... Today, almost every resident of a metropolis is at risk, one way or another exposed to mobile and Wi-Fi networks, power lines, electric transport, etc. .
The problem is that the danger is invisible and intangible, and begins to manifest itself only in the form of various diseases. At the same time, the cause of these diseases remains outside the field of view of medicine. With rare exceptions. And while you are healing the symptoms with the achievements of modern medicine, our invisible enemy stubbornly continues to undermine your health.
The most affected by electromagnetic fields are the circulatory system, brain, eyes, immune and reproductive systems. Someone will say: “So what? Surely this impact is not so strong - otherwise international organizations would have sounded the alarm long ago.
Data:
Do you know that within 15 minutes after starting to work on the computer in a 9-10 year old child, changes in the blood and urine almost coincide with changes in the blood of a person with cancer? Similar changes appear in a 16-year-old teenager after half an hour, in an adult - after 2 hours of work at the monitor.
(we are talking about cathode ray monitors, which are gradually disappearing from everyday use, but are still found)
US researchers found:
- in most women who worked on computers during pregnancy, the fetus developed abnormally, and the probability of miscarriage approached 80%;
- brain cancer in electricians develops 13 times more often than in workers of other professions;
Effect of electromagnetic radiation on the nervous system:
The level of electromagnetic radiation, even without causing thermal effects, can affect the most important functional systems of the body. Most experts consider the nervous system to be the most vulnerable of them. The mechanism of action is very simple - it has been established that electromagnetic fields disrupt the permeability of cell membranes for calcium ions. As a result, the nervous system begins to malfunction. In addition, an alternating electromagnetic field induces weak currents in electrolytes, which are the liquid constituents of tissues. The range of deviations caused by these processes is very wide - during the experiments, changes in the EEG of the brain, a slowdown in reaction, memory impairment, depressive manifestations, etc. were recorded.
Effect of EMR on the immune system:
The immune system is also affected. Experimental studies in this direction have shown that in animals irradiated with EMF, the nature of the infectious process changes - the course of the infectious process is aggravated. There is reason to believe that under the influence of EMR, the processes of immunogenesis are disturbed, more often in the direction of their suppression. This process is associated with the emergence of autoimmunity. In accordance with this concept, the basis of all autoimmune conditions is primarily immunodeficiency in the thymus-dependent cell population of lymphocytes. The effect of high-intensity EMF on the body's immune system is manifested in a depressing effect on the T-system of cellular immunity.
Effect of EMR on the endocrine system:
The endocrine system is also a target for EMR. Studies have shown that under the action of EMF, as a rule, the pituitary-adrenal system was stimulated, which was accompanied by an increase in the content of adrenaline in the blood, activation of blood coagulation processes. It was recognized that one of the systems that early and naturally involved in the body's response to the impact of various factors external environment, is the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal cortex system.
Effect of electromagnetic radiation on the cardiovascular system:
You can also note the violations of the cardiovascular system. It manifests itself in the form of lability of the pulse and blood pressure. Phase changes in the composition of peripheral blood are noted.
The influence of electromagnetic radiation on the reproductive system:
- There is a suppression of spermakinesis, an increase in the birth rate of girls, an increase in the number of congenital malformations and deformities. The ovaries are more sensitive to the influence of electromagnetic radiation.
- The female genital area is more susceptible to the effects of electromagnetic fields generated by computers and other office and household appliances than the male.
- Vessels of the head, thyroid gland, liver, genital area are critical areas of influence. These are only the main and most obvious consequences of EMP exposure. The picture of the real impact on each individual is very individual. But to one degree or another, these systems are affected by all users of household appliances at different times.
Effect of electromagnetic radiation on pregnant women and children:
The children's organism has some peculiarities in comparison with an adult, for example, it has a large ratio of the length of the head and the body, and a greater conductivity of the medulla.
Due to the smaller size and volume of the head of a child, the specific absorbed power is greater than that of an adult, and the radiation penetrates deeper into those parts of the brain that, as a rule, are not irradiated in adults. With the growth of the head and the thickening of the bones of the skull, the content of water and ions decreases, and hence the conductivity.
It has been proven that growing and developing tissues are most susceptible to the adverse effects of electro magnetic field, and active growth of a person occurs from the moment of conception to about 16 years.
Pregnant women also fall into this risk group, since EMF is biologically active in relation to embryos. When a pregnant woman talks on a cell phone, virtually her entire body is exposed to EMF, including the developing fetus.
The sensitivity of the embryo to damaging factors is much higher than the sensitivity of the maternal organism. It has been established that intrauterine damage to the fetus by EMF can occur at any stage of its development: during fertilization, crushing, implantation, organogenesis. However, the periods of maximum EMF sensitivity are the early stages of embryonic development—implantation and early organogenesis.
Data:
At the Neurodiagnostic scientific institute in Spain in 2001 found that in 11-13-year-old children who talked on a cell phone for two minutes, the change in the bioelectrical activity of the brain persists for another two hours after they hang up.
The University of Bristol in the UK completed a study last year showing a significant increase in reaction time in 10-11 year old children who used a GSM mobile phone. Similar results were obtained by the Finns at the University of Turku, who observed a group of children 10-14 years old.
In the USSR, until the 1990s, a large number of studies of the biological effect of EMF on the developing animal organism were carried out.
It has been established that even low EMF intensities affect the embryonic development of offspring. The offspring of irradiated animals are less viable, developmental anomalies, deformities, lag in weight, dysfunctions of the higher parts of the central nervous system are observed. nervous system(slow development and reduced ability to maintain defensive and motor-food conditioned reflexes), shifting the pace of postnatal development.
EMF irradiated adult animals are characterized by a decrease in the number of offspring, changes in the genital organs of females, disturbances in the development of the fetus, a decrease in the percentage of interbreeding, and statistically more frequently observed cases of stillbirth.
Study of the effect of EMF on the offspring of rats exposed to electromagnetic influence in parameters similar to what a human embryo receives when talking to his mother on a cell phone showed that, compared with the control, the embryonic mortality of the offspring is statistically significantly increased, the mass of the goiter gland is reduced, the number of anomalies in the development of internal organs is increased, and mortality in the first 4 weeks of the postnatal period offspring of rats of all experimental groups was 2.5 - 3 times higher than in the control, and body weight was lower. The development of rat pups also went worse: the formation of sensory-motor reflexes, the timing of the cutting of incisors lagged behind, in female rat pups formation was disturbed.

Danger of electromagnetic radiation. How to reduce harm?
The negative impact of electromagnetic fields (EMF) continues to cause controversy around the world. The most dangerous pollution you are exposed to is an invisible sea of EMF in which your body is immersed every day.
It affects you throughout the day, and not only in public places, but in your own house. Most of the radiation comes from mobile phones, radio towers, computers, smart meters and Wi-Fi.
Although it is almost impossible to completely avoid their effects, there are practical ways to limit it. Considering the number of EMFs that you are bombarded with all day long, you definitely need to know and understand them. negative impact for your well-being.
Especially if you have serious illness, it is worth taking valuable time to minimize EMF exposure as much as possible. If you are told that they are safe and not a threat to humans, you should consider the following:
- Telecommunications industry manipulates federal regulators, health authorities and professionals through powerful and sophisticated lobbies, leaving the consumer confused and unaware of the health risks associated with EMF.
- Any negative health effects from EMF that are similar to smoking may not be immediately noticeable, but are likely to develop gradually over time. Cell phones are indeed the 21st century equivalent of the public health threat from cigarettes.
What is EMP?
According to national institute impact sciences environment On health, EMF are "invisible areas of energy, often referred to as radiation, that are associated with the use of electrical energy."
Most people are aware of the dangers associated with ionizing radiation, which causes a dentist to cover you with a lead apron during x-rays. For the same reason, one might expect sunburn if you allow bare skin to be exposed to the sun's UV rays for too long.
It is believed that ionizing radiation has enough energy to break covalent bonds in DNA, but in reality most of damage occurs due to oxidative stress, which leads to an excess of free radicals.
The type of EMF that your cell phone emits is in the microwave range of 2 to 5 gigahertz. In addition, mobile and cordless phones, electronic devices such as baby monitors, Bluetooth devices, smart thermostats, and Wi-Fi routers are constantly emitting microwave radiation at levels that can damage your mitochondria.
The level of calcium inside the cells increases under the influence of EMF
Martin Pall, Ph.D., professor emeritus of biochemistry and basic medical sciences at the University of Washington, has identified and published several papers describing the molecular mechanisms of how EMFs from mobile phones and wireless technologies harm people, animals and plants. Many studies show that the level of intracellular calcium increases under the influence of EMF.
Pall also found a number of studies that show that excess calcium in the cell increases nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide levels. While NO has many health benefits, massive amounts of NO react with superoxide to form peroxynitrite, an extremely powerful oxidative stressor.
Peroxynitrite, in turn, breaks down and forms reactive free radicals, both forms of nitrogen and oxygen, including hydroxyl, carbonate and NO2 radicals - all three of which cause damage. He is also capable of doing damage on his own.
In addition, EMFs are not affected by heat; they don't "fry" your cells as some suggest. The radiation activates VGCC in the outer cell membrane, causing a chain reaction of devastating effects that ultimately:
- Destroy mitochondrial function, cell membranes and proteins
- Cause severe cell damage
- Manifested in DNA damage
- Radically accelerate the aging process
- Increase the risk of developing chronic diseases
Peroxynitrite, cell phones and a sharp increase in cases of chronic diseases
Once formed, peroxynitrite reacts relatively slowly with biological molecules, making it a selective oxidizing agent. In the body, it modifies the tyrosine molecules in proteins to create a new substance, nitrotyrosine, and nitrate structural proteins. The changes that occur under the influence of nitration are seen in the biopsy of ALS, atherosclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, myocardial ischemia and septic lung disease.
Once you understand that cell phones can contribute to these chronic diseases - not just brain tumors - you will be motivated to limit their exposure.
While cardiovascular disease, cancer, and infections continue to be a major health threat, the increase in the following diseases and disorders is striking. Some of them were not even known to the general public until 1980.
Disease or disorder / Increase since 1990
- ADHD - 819 percent
- Alzheimer's disease - 299 percent
- Autism - 2094 percent
- Bipolar disorder at a young age - 10833 percent
- Celiac disease - 1111 percent
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - 11,027 percent
- Depression - 280 percent
- Diabetes mellitus - 305 percent
- Fibromyalgia - 7727 percent
- Hypothyroidism - 702 percent
- Lupus - 787 percent
- Osteoarthritis - 449 percent
- Sleep apnea - 430 percent
Have you been affected by any of the EMF-related illnesses?
Since the biological damage from EMF is triggered by the activation of VGCC, it goes without saying that tissues with its highest density are at greater risk. Body tissues with a high concentration of VGCC (and therefore most susceptible to EMF damage) include:
- Testicles (in men)
- nervous system
- Sinus node of the heart, leading to arrhythmias
- retina
When VGCCs are activated in the brain, they release neurotransmitters and neuroendocrine hormones. Increased activity VGCC in some parts of the brain produces a variety of neuropsychiatric effects. The most common effects of chronic EMF exposure on your brain are:
- Alzheimer's disease
- Anxiety
- Autism: One of my longtime mentors, Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, has linked autism in children to excessive EMF exposure during pregnancy.
- Depression
The most common heart problems that have been associated with EMF exposure are:
- Fibrillation / atrial flutter
- Bradycardia (slow heartbeat)
- Cardiac arrhythmias (due to sudden cardiac death)
- Cardiopalmus
- Tachycardia
EMF adversely affect reproductive health
If you are a man, EMF exposure can increase your risk of infertility, especially if you regularly carry your cell phone in your trouser pocket near your groin and/or keep your laptop on your lap. Research has linked low-level exposure to electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones to an 8% decrease in sperm motility and a 9% decrease in sperm viability.
If you are a woman, your risk of developing breast cancer is higher if you regularly wear your cell phone in your bra. Generally, the most common site for breast cancer is the upper outer quadrant. When the cancer is in the upper inner quadrant, it is more likely to be due to phone radiation (if you wear it in a bra).
Ways to reduce the impact of EPM
The following are some tips to help reduce EMF exposure:
- Connect your desktop computer to the Internet via a wired connection. Wireless keyboards, trackballs, mice, game consoles, printers, and home phones should also be avoided. Choose the wired version.
- If you must use Wi-Fi, turn it off when not in use, especially at night when you are sleeping. Ideally, it's better to wire your home to turn off Wi-Fi once and for all. If you have a laptop without Ethernet ports, get a USB adapter that will allow you to connect to the Internet without a wireless connection.
- Turn off the electricity in the bedroom at night. This usually helps to reduce the electric fields from the wires in the wall if there is no room next to your bedroom. In this case, you will need to use the instrument to determine if the power in the next room also needs to be turned off.
- Use a battery powered watch, ideally without a backlight. I use a talking clock that allows you to just press a button to tell the time and turn off the lights at night.
- If you're still using a microwave, replace it with a steam convection oven, which will heat food faster and much more safely. After the induction cooktop, microwave ovens are probably the most polluting EPMs in your home.
- Avoid using "smart" appliances and thermostats that depend on a wireless network. This applies to all new "smart" TVs. They're called smart because they emit Wi-Fi, and unlike a computer, you can't turn it off. Consider using a large monitor as a TV as it will not emit Wi-Fi.
- Eliminate smart meters or cover them with a screen, which will reduce radiation by 98-99 percent.
- Consider moving your baby's crib into your room instead of using a baby monitor, or make it wired. In any case, avoid any wireless baby monitors if you can buy a wired one.
- Replace fluorescent light bulbs with incandescent bulbs. Ideally, get rid of all fluorescent lights in your home. Not only do they emit unhealthy light, but more importantly, they actually transmit current to your body when you are simply near them.
- Don't carry your cell phone on your body unless it's in flight mode, and never sleep with it in the bedroom (let alone under your pillow). Even in flight mode, it can emit signals, so I put mine in a Faraday bag.
- When using a mobile phone, turn on the speaker and keep it at least 3 feet away from you. Try to minimize the time spent with him. I have reduced my phone usage to 30 minutes per month, mostly while traveling. Instead, use VoIP phones that work even when connected to the Internet via a wired connection.
Some nutrients may help protect the body from EMF damage.
- Magnesium- As a natural calcium channel blocker, magnesium can help reduce the effects of EMF on VGCC. Since many are deficient, it would be helpful to take 1-2 grams of magnesium per day.
- Molecular hydrogen- Studies have shown that molecular hydrogen can mitigate about 80 percent of EMF damage because it targets free radicals produced in response to radiation, such as peroxynitrites. You can take molecular hydrogen tablets while flying to protect yourself from gamma rays. This is one of the tips I gave on how to minimize jet lag.
- Nrf2- An increase in Nrf2, which is a biological hormetic that activates superoxide dismutase, catalase and all other beneficial intercellular antioxidants, also reduces inflammation, improves mitochondrial function and stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis.
- Spices- Some spices may help prevent or recover from peroxynitrite damage. Spices rich in phenols, in particular cinnamon, clove, ginger root, rosemary, and turmeric, show some protective effects against damage caused by peroxynitrite.
EMFs are more dangerous for children than for adults
Unfortunately, the majority of young people have fallen under the influence of the wireless revolution, and your responsibility is to teach your children its dangers. Many have mobile phones and wireless tablets under the age of 5 and sleep with them under their pillows. This exposes them to a far greater health risk than their great-grandfathers smoking as teenagers.
The possibility of experiencing great damage to mitochondria over time is exponentially greater for children than for adults. Many today are growing up completely shrouded in technology. They receive mobile phones at an increasingly young age, use computers and tablets from an early age. school years and play video games on the Internet, all of which involve exposure to EMF.

All Conferences are open and completely free. We invite all waking up and interested ...
IN ordinary life we use a dozen or two electrical devices, as a result of which our body is harmed by electromagnetic radiation. Our houses are packed with household appliances, in hospitals, diseases are diagnosed with high-tech tomographs.
Electromagnetic radiation - what is it?
Electromagnetic radiation has accompanied living organisms for many millennia in the form of a natural background. In progress technical progress mankind has created artificial sources of radiation. Over millions of years of evolution, the human body has been able to adapt to many manifestations of the environment. But against fluctuations in the level of electromagnetic radiation remained defenseless. A couple of percent increase in EMR is already enough to cause harm to the body's systems.
Electromagnetic radiation form objects that can excite electromagnetic waves.
The wavelength of the emitted wave can be different, depending on the type.
Types of radiation:
- x-ray;
- ultraviolet;
- infrared;
- radio wave;
- side electromagnetic radiation.
X-rays and ultraviolet, passing through the tissue, have a damaging effect. Infrared radiation heats, speeds up chemical reactions in a cage. Radio waves are absorbed by the human skin, which leads to the removal of heat.
Some types of radiation are felt by the human body, others are not. It does not cancel their destructive action. Despite the different names, the essence remains the same.
The electromagnetic field from various devices and power lines can accumulate, forming electromagnetic smog. Being in his area is very harmful to the body.
In addition, there is also spurious electromagnetic radiation and interference.
Spurious electromagnetic radiation and interference - radiation emitted by the components of the computer. With special devices it can be caught and deciphered. This is usually done in order to obtain information. The most powerful radiating element is the monitor, it is from it that data is stolen. You can catch the data while viewing it on the screen. In order not to wait for the user to open the desired file, the operating system becomes infected with a virus. And then interested parties have every opportunity to steal any information. During a normal game of, say, a kerchief, the virus will access the necessary components and provoke spurious radiation.
However, espionage does not threaten the average user. It is much more important to remember that the computer's strongest emitter is the monitor, and to be at a safe distance from it.
The mechanism of action of electromagnetic radiation
Is electromagnetic radiation harmful? The answer is unequivocal. Exposure to electromagnetic radiation adversely affects living organisms. Emitters suppress the body's natural frequencies. Each organ vibrates at its own frequency. For example, for the heart it is 700 hertz, the liver - 550-600 hertz, the pancreas - 600-800 hertz. The average frequency of the human body is 620-680 hertz. When the average frequency drops to 580 hertz, the body becomes extremely vulnerable, diseases occur.
The source of radiation changes the normal frequency of the organs, forcing them to work harder or, conversely, suppressing activity. For example, if the heart rate is multiplied by one and a half times, this will lead to angina pectoris.
People with electrical pacemakers are at particular risk. The influence of radio waves on the pacemaker above a certain level will cause the device to stop.
To date, there is no protection against electromagnetic influence. Some companies have tried to speculate with protective materials, but in practice have been useless.
The effect of electromagnetic radiation is negative on all living organisms. The following systems are the first to be damaged in a person: nervous, immune, endocrine, reproductive. They have one common property- intensive cell division, constant tissue renewal. The harm of electromagnetic radiation is to change the cell cycle. Absorbed by tissues, it increases the reaction rate in the cell.
At first glance, it doesn't sound scary. The acceleration of cell division processes leads to the formation of errors and mutations. A cell that shares with an error will perform its functions poorly or incompletely, and a cell with a mutation can even give rise to a cancerous tumor.
The most dangerous is not a single exposure, but a permanent presence in the zone of electromagnetic smog. Common signs of EMR damage to the body are headache, chronic fatigue syndrome, disorders of the thyroid gland and other endocrine organs. Decreased brain function, its degeneration. As a result, malignant tumors, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.
Sources of electromagnetic radiation
The radiation intensity of electrical appliances is different. Accordingly, the harm done too. Consider, in descending order of the danger of electromagnetic radiation:
So, in first place:
- computers and laptops;
- microwave;
- power lines (TL).
- electric stove;
- washing machine;
- fridge;
- mobile phone;
- TV;
- vacuum cleaner;
- fluorescent lamps.
And small household appliances are practically harmless: iron, blender, hair dryer, coffee machine, toaster.
Mobile phones pose a serious danger of electromagnetic radiation. Smartphones cause particular harm to the body. The level of radiation emanating from them is small compared to other electrical appliances. But, as we remember, the intensity of the impact increases if you get closer to the source of radiation. The main radiating element in the phone is the antenna. While talking on the phone, every day we hold the emitter near the brain tissue. The World Health Organization (WHO), after large-scale studies covering 13 countries, announced the carcinogenic properties of EMR, the connection of malignant head tumors with the use of mobile phones. According to research by some scientists, the picture looks even more frightening: brain cancer can occur even in those who speak on the phone for only 15 minutes a day.
How to reduce harm?
It will not work to neutralize electromagnetic radiation, to exclude household electrical appliances from your life - most likely, too. So, it remains to observe the "safety precautions".
First of all, you need to understand how far the electromagnetic field propagates. And, if possible, be at a safe distance while operating electrical appliances.
So, from an electric stove, a kettle and an iron, the radiation is at a distance of 20-30 cm.
TVs, refrigerators and a washing machine "fonyat" per meter.
The real radiation monster is the microwave oven. While cooking or heating food, it is better to stay away from it. Measurements show that at a distance of one or two meters, the level of EMP is much higher than sanitary standards.
Modern smartphones have different intensity of electromagnetic radiation. In the characteristics of the device, this parameter is called SAR. SAR measures the energy of an electromagnetic field absorbed by human tissues in one second. It is measured in watts per kilogram. In the US, a value of 1.6 W/kg for 1 gram of tissue is considered safe. However, third-party studies by scientists claim that the real SAR parameter is several times higher than that indicated in the gadget's characteristics. The latest iPhone models (7 and 7 plus) have SAR close to the normal range.
Smartphone exposure can be completely eliminated by following simple rules. Do not leave the phone close to the body during sleep, but it is better to turn it off altogether. Talk only with a wired headset. It is completely secure, unlike the more convenient wireless Bluetooth headset.
The harm of electromagnetic radiation can be reduced by keeping a safe distance from the devices during operation.
For each emitter, this distance is different. The closer you are to an electrical appliance, the more radiation you receive. It is important to remember about the property of electromagnetic waves to penetrate walls. Having correctly located radiation sources in your apartment, you will not be protected from neighbors' electrical appliances. But there is a way out here too. With an electromagnetic field measuring device, you can find the optimal position for your furniture.
The human body has its own electromagnetic field, like any organism on earth, thanks to which all the cells of the body work harmoniously. Human electromagnetic radiation is also called the biofield (its visible part is the aura). Do not forget that this field is the main protective shell of our body from any negative influence. Destroying it, the organs and systems of our body become easy prey for any disease-causing factors.
If other sources of radiation, much more powerful than the radiation of our body, begin to act on our electromagnetic field, then chaos begins in the body. This leads to a drastic deterioration in health.
And such sources can be not only household appliances, mobile phones and transport. A large crowd of people, the mood of a person and his attitude towards us, geopathogenic zones on the planet, magnetic storms, etc. have a significant impact on us.
Among scientists, there are still disputes about the dangers of electromagnetic radiation. Some say that it is dangerous, others, on the contrary, do not see any harm. I would like to clarify.
It is not the electromagnetic waves themselves that are dangerous, without which no device could really work, but their information component, which cannot be detected by conventional oscilloscopes.
It has been experimentally established that electromagnetic radiations have a torsion (information) component. According to the studies of specialists from France, Russia, Ukraine and Switzerland, it is torsion fields, and not electromagnetic ones, that are the main factor in the negative impact on human health. Since it is the torsion field that transmits to a person all that negative information, from which headaches, irritations, insomnia, etc. begin.
Weak electromagnetic fields (EMF) with a power of hundredths and even thousandths of a watt of high frequency are dangerous for humans because the intensity of such fields coincides with the intensity of the radiation of the human body during the normal functioning of all systems and organs in his body. As a result of this interaction, a person's own field is distorted, provoking the development of various diseases, mainly in the most weakened parts of the body.
The most negative property of electromagnetic signals is that they tend to accumulate over time in the body. In people who by occupation use a lot of various office equipment - computers, telephones (including mobile phones) - a decrease in immunity, frequent stress, a decrease in sexual activity, and increased fatigue were found. And that's not all the negative impact of electromagnetic radiation!
Sources of negative radiation:
- Geopathic zones
- Sociopathogenic radiation: the influence of people on each other
- Mobile communications and cell phones
- Computers and laptops
- TV
- Microwaves (microwave oven)
- Transport
- Psychotronic weapons
The problem is that the danger is invisible and intangible, and begins to manifest itself only in the form of various diseases.
The most affected by electromagnetic fields are the circulatory system, brain, eyes, immune and reproductive systems.
The imperceptible influence of electromagnetic radiation every day and every minute is on our eyes and brain, gastrointestinal tract and genitourinary system, blood-forming organs and immune system. Someone will say: "So what?"
Data:
Do you know that within 15 minutes after starting to work on the computer in a 9-10 year old child, changes in the blood and urine almost coincide with changes in the blood of a person with cancer? Similar changes appear in a 16-year-old teenager after half an hour, in an adult - after 2 hours of work at the monitor.

US researchers found:
- in most women who worked on computers during pregnancy, the fetus developed abnormally, and the probability of miscarriage approached 80%;

Effect of electromagnetic radiation on the nervous system:
The level of electromagnetic radiation, even without causing thermal effects, can affect the most important functional systems of the body. Most experts consider the nervous system to be the most vulnerable of them. The mechanism of action is very simple - it has been established that electromagnetic fields disrupt the permeability of cell membranes for calcium ions. As a result, the nervous system begins to malfunction. In addition, an alternating electromagnetic field induces weak currents in electrolytes, which are the liquid constituents of tissues. The range of deviations caused by these processes is very wide - during the experiments, changes in the EEG of the brain, a slowdown in reaction, memory impairment, depressive manifestations, etc. were recorded.
Effect of EMR on the immune system:
The immune system is also affected. Experimental studies in this direction have shown that in animals irradiated with EMF, the nature of the infectious process changes - the course of the infectious process is aggravated. There is reason to believe that under the influence of EMR, the processes of immunogenesis are disturbed, more often in the direction of their suppression. This process is associated with the emergence of autoimmunity. In accordance with this concept, the basis of all autoimmune conditions is primarily immunodeficiency in the thymus-dependent cell population of lymphocytes. The effect of high-intensity EMF on the body's immune system is manifested in a depressing effect on the T-system of cellular immunity.
The endocrine system is also a target for EMR. Studies have shown that under the action of EMF, as a rule, the pituitary-adrenal system was stimulated, which was accompanied by an increase in the content of adrenaline in the blood, activation of blood coagulation processes. It was recognized that one of the systems that early and naturally involves the body's response to various environmental factors is the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal cortex system.
Effect of electromagnetic radiation on the cardiovascular system:
You can also note the violations of the cardiovascular system. It manifests itself in the form of lability of the pulse and blood pressure. Phase changes in the composition of peripheral blood are noted.
The influence of electromagnetic radiation on the reproductive system:
- There is a suppression of spermakinesis, an increase in the birth rate of girls, an increase in the number of congenital malformations and deformities. The ovaries are more sensitive to the influence of electromagnetic radiation.
- The female genital area is more susceptible to the effects of electromagnetic fields generated by computers and other office and household appliances than the male.
- Vessels of the head, thyroid gland, liver, genital area are critical zones of influence. These are only the main and most obvious consequences of EMP exposure. The picture of the real impact on each individual is very individual. But to one degree or another, these systems are affected by all users of household appliances at different times.

The influence of EMR in photographs of the human biofield:
You can find out how these pictures were taken.
The human biofield is in a normal state.
IN last years due to the development of technology, the human body is exposed to a high level of exposure to electromagnetic radiation (EMR), which could not but cause serious concern around the world.
What is the effect on living organisms? Their consequences depend on which category of radiation - ionizing or not - they belong to. The first type has a high energy potential, which acts on the atoms in the cells and leads to a change in their natural state. It can be deadly as it causes cancer and other diseases. Non-ionizing radiation includes electromagnetic radiation in the form of radio waves, microwave radiation and electrical vibrations. Although it cannot change the structure of the atom, its influence can lead to irreversible consequences.
Invisible danger
Publications in scientific literature raised the issue of the adverse effects on individuals and society as a whole of non-ionizing EMF radiation emanating from power, electrical and wireless devices in everyday life, at work, in educational and public institutions. Despite numerous problems in establishing compelling scientific evidence for harm and gaps in elucidating the exact mechanisms of harm, epidemiological analysis is increasingly suggesting the significant potential for traumatic effects produced by non-ionizing radiation. Protection against electromagnetic radiation is becoming more and more important.
Due to medical education does not focus on the state of the environment, some physicians are not fully aware of the likely health problems that are associated with EMR, and as a result, manifestations of non-ionizing radiation may be misdiagnosed and treated ineffectively.
If the possibility of damage to tissues and cells associated with exposure to X-rays is beyond doubt, then the impact of electromagnetic radiation on living organisms, when they come from power lines, mobile phones, electrical appliances and some machines, has only recently begun to attract attention as a potential threat. health.
electromagnetic spectrum
Refers to a type of energy that emanates or radiates far beyond its source. Electromagnetic radiation energy exists in various forms, each with different characteristics. physical properties. They can be measured and expressed in terms of frequency or wavelength. Some waves have a high frequency, others have a medium frequency, and still others have a low frequency. The range of electromagnetic radiation includes many different forms of energy from various sources. Their name is used to classify EMP types.
The short wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, corresponding to a high frequency, is a characteristic of gamma rays, x-rays, and ultraviolet radiation. More spectrum include microwave radiation and radio waves. Light radiation belongs to the middle part of the EMR spectrum, it provides normal vision and is the light that we perceive. Infrared energy is responsible for human perception of heat.
Most forms of energy such as X-rays, ultraviolet and radio waves are invisible and imperceptible to humans. Their detection requires the measurement of electromagnetic radiation using special instruments, and as a result, people cannot assess the degree of exposure to energy fields in these ranges.
Despite the lack of perception, the action of high-frequency energy, including X-rays, called ionizing radiation, is potentially dangerous for human cells. changing atomic composition cellular structures, breaking chemical bonds and by inducing the formation of free radicals, sufficient exposure to ionizing radiation can damage the genetic code in DNA or cause mutations, thereby increasing the risk of cancer or cell death.
Anthropogenic EMR
The influence of electromagnetic radiation on the body, especially non-ionizing, which is called forms of energy with lower frequencies, has been underestimated by many scientists. It was not considered to produce adverse effects at normal exposure levels. IN Lately, however, there is increasing evidence that some frequencies of non-ionizing radiation have the potential to cause biological harm. Most of the studies on their impact on health have dealt with the following three main types of anthropogenic EMR:
- the lower scale of electromagnetic radiation from power lines, electrical appliances and electronic equipment;
- microwave and radio emissions from wireless communications devices such as cell phones, cell towers, antennas, and television and radio towers;
- electrical pollution due to the operation of certain types of equipment (for example, plasma TVs, some energy-saving appliances, variable speed motors, etc.) that produce signals whose electromagnetic frequency is in the range of 3-150 kHz (propagated and re-radiated by wiring).
Ground currents, sometimes called stray currents, are not limited by wires. Current follows the path of least resistance and can pass through any available path, including ground, wires, and various objects. Accordingly, electrical voltage is also transmitted through the ground and through building structures through metal water or sewer pipes, as a result of which non-ionizing radiation enters the immediate environment.
EMR and human health
While studies examining the negative properties of electromagnetic radiation have sometimes yielded conflicting results, the diagnosis of reproductive dysfunction and cancer predisposition seems to confirm suspicions that EMF exposure may pose a threat to human health. Poor pregnancy outcomes, including miscarriages, stillbirths, preterm births, sex ratio changes, and congenital anomalies, have all been linked to maternal exposure to EMR.
A large prospective study published in the journal Epidemiology, for example, reports peak EMR exposure in 1,063 pregnant women in the San Francisco area. The participants in the experiment wore magnetic field detectors, and the scientists found a significant increase in fetal mortality as the level of maximum EMF exposure increased.
EMR and cancer
Claims that intense exposure to certain frequencies of EMR can be carcinogenic have been examined. For example, the International Journal of Cancer recently published an important case-control study on the relationship between childhood leukemia and magnetic fields in Japan. By assessing the level of electromagnetic radiation in the bedrooms, scientists have confirmed that high levels exposures lead to a significantly greater risk of developing childhood leukemia.
Physical and psychological impact
People with electromagnetic hypersensitivity often suffer from exhaustion, which can affect any part of the body, including the central nervous system, musculoskeletal system, gastrointestinal tract, and endocrine system. These symptoms often lead to permanent psychological stress and fear of being exposed to EMP. Many patients become incapacitated just thinking that an invisible wireless signal at any time and in any place can provoke painful sensations in their body. Constant fear and preoccupation with health problems affect well-being up to the development of a phobia and fear of electricity, which in some people make them want to leave civilization.
Mobile phones and telecommunications
Cell phones transmit and receive signals using EMF, which is partially absorbed by their users. Since these sources of electromagnetic radiation are usually in close proximity to the head, this feature has led to concerns about the possible adverse effects of their use on human health.
One of the problems of extrapolating the results of their application in experimental studies in rodents is that the frequency of maximum absorption of RF energy depends on body size, shape, orientation, and position.
Resonance absorption in rats is in the range of microwave and operating frequencies of mobile phones used in experiments (from 0.5 to 3 GHz), but on a scale human body it occurs at 100 MHz. This factor can be taken into account when calculating the absorbed dose rate, but is a problem for those studies that use only the external field strength to determine the level of exposure.
The relative depth of penetration in laboratory animals is larger compared to the size of the human head, and tissue parameters and the mechanism of heat redistribution differ. Another potential source of inaccuracies in exposure levels is the exposure of the cell to RF radiation.
The effect of high-voltage radiation on people and the environment
Power lines with voltages above 100 kV are the most powerful sources of electromagnetic radiation. Studies of the radiation impact on technical personnel started with the start of construction of the first 220-kV transmission lines, when there were cases of deterioration in the health of workers. The commissioning of 400 kV power lines led to the publication of numerous works in this area, which later became the basis for the adoption of the first regulations limiting the effect of a 50-Hz electric field.
Power lines with a voltage of more than 500 kV have an impact on the environment in the form of:
- electric field with a frequency of 50 Hz;
- radiation;
- magnetic field of industrial frequency.
EMF and the nervous system
The mammalian blood-brain barrier is composed of endothelial cells associated with barrier zones as well as adjacent pericytes and extracellular matrix. Helps maintain a highly stable extracellular environment necessary for accurate synaptic transmission and protects nervous tissue from damage. Increasing its low permeability to hydrophilic and charged molecules can be detrimental to health.
The ambient temperature exceeding the limits of thermoregulation in mammals increases the permeability of the blood-brain barrier for macromolecules. Neuronal absorption of albumin in different areas of the brain depends on its temperature and manifests itself when it rises by 1 °C or more. Since sufficiently strong radio frequency fields can lead to tissue heating, it is logical to assume that the effect of electromagnetic radiation on a person results in an increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier.
EMF and sleep
The upper scale of electromagnetic radiation has some effect on sleep. This topic has become relevant for several reasons. Among other symptoms, complaints of sleep disturbances have been mentioned in anecdotal reports of people who believe they are being affected by EMR. This has led to speculation that electromagnetic fields could interfere with normal sleep patterns, with consequent health consequences. The potential risk of sleep disturbance should be considered given that it is a very complex biological process controlled by the central nervous system. And although the exact neurobiological mechanisms have not yet been established, regular alternation of wakefulness and resting states is a necessary requirement for proper brain function, metabolic homeostasis, and the immune system.
Moreover, sleep seems to be exactly the physiological system, the study of which will make it possible to find out the effect of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation on a person, since in this biological state the body is sensitive to external stimuli. There is evidence that weak EMFs, much lower than those at which a rise in temperature would occur, can also cause biological effects.
Currently, studies on the effects of non-ionizing high-frequency EMR are clearly focused on cancer risk, due to concerns about the carcinogenic properties of ionizing radiation.
Negative manifestations
Thus, the impact on a person of electromagnetic radiation, even non-ionizing, takes place, especially in the case of high-voltage power lines and the corona effect. Microwave radiation affects the nervous, cardiovascular, immune and reproductive systems, including causing damage to the nervous system, changing its response, electroencephalogram, blood-brain barrier, provoking a disturbance (wakefulness - sleep) by interfering with the work of the pineal gland and creating hormonal imbalance , changes in heart rate and blood pressure, impairing immunity to pathogens, causing weakness, malnutrition, growth problems, DNA damage, and cancer.
It is recommended to erect buildings away from EMP sources, and protection from electromagnetic radiation of high-voltage power lines should be mandatory. In cities, cables must be laid underground, as well as equipment that neutralizes the effect of EMP.
According to the results of a correlation analysis based on experimental data, it was concluded that it is possible to significantly reduce the impact of electromagnetic radiation of power lines on a person by reducing the distance of wire sag, which will lead to an increase in the distance between the conductive line and the measurement point. In addition, this distance is influenced by the terrain under the power transmission line.
Precautionary measures
Electricity is an integral part of life modern society. This means that EMP will always be around us. And in order for EMF to make our lives easier, not shorter, some precautions should be taken:
- Children should not be allowed to play near power lines, transformers, satellite transmitters or microwave sources.
- Locations where the density exceeds 1 mG should be avoided. It is necessary to measure the EMF level of devices in the switched off and operating state.
- It is necessary to carry out a rearrangement in the office or at home in such a way that it is not exposed to the field of electrical appliances and computers.
- Don't sit too close in front of the computer. Monitors vary greatly in the strength of their EMP. Do not stand near a working microwave oven.
- Move electrical appliances at least 2 m from the bed. Do not allow wiring under the bed. Remove dimmers and 3 position switches.
- Be careful when using wireless devices such as electric toothbrushes, shavers.
- In addition, it is recommended to wear as little jewelry as possible and take it off at night.
- It is also necessary to remember that EMP passes through walls, and to take into account sources in the next room or outside the walls of the room.
