Five Common Sources of Electromagnetic Radiation
Most people have heard about electromagnetic radiation and the impact it can have on a person's health. What they don't often realize is that this type of radiation is all around us. With everything in our lives becoming more mobile, people are far more likely to be exposed to electromagnetic radiation in larger amounts. The five most common sources are things we use almost every day. Some of those sources are items we rely on heavily to make our lives run more smoothly. We have become dependent on them to function.
Power Lines
High voltage power lines are well-known for emitting measurable amounts of electromagnetic radiation. In reality, all types of electrical lines and power cords emit very small amounts of electromagnetic radiation. The amount released by the electrical system in your home is so small it may not be measurable without the use of technologically advanced equipment. Understanding how electromagnetic radiation is produced and released will give you insight on how you can reduce your risk of exposure.
Wi-fi Devices
Wi-fi devices are one of the most common, yet unknown sources of electromagnetic radiation. Wi-fi uses electromagnetic fields at radiofrequency levels to transmit data from one device to another. This results in the connectivity most of us know as the internet. Devices that use this type of connection include Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, and remote controls for televisions, garage door openers, and security systems. These radio frequencies are all around us.
Microwave Ovens
Microwave ovens have been around for decades. They make cooking meals so much easier and can save a lot of time in the process. Most people don't question how they work and oftentimes, don't realize that low levels of radiation are used to heat and cook the food. The amount of radiation emitted by microwaves during use is extremely small, but it is there. The food being cooked may absorb a miniscule amount, but it is generally harmless to humans.
Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devices That Use 5G Technology
Cell phones are one of the most common sources of electromagnetic radiation. Phones and other devices that use the latest 5G technology work much faster and are higher functioning than other devices. While all cell phones emit some degree of electromagnetic radiation, those that use 5G are thought to emit the highest measurable amounts. Other electronic devices that use 5G include tablets, laptops, and game systems.
The Sun
The sun is our biggest source of electromagnetic radiation. By the time the radiation reaches the Earth it has dissipated significantly. The radiation is still measurable, but it is not harmful to humans. It even offers certain benefits. The electromagnetic frequency is one of several that make up the EM spectrum. This also includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, and ultraviolet rays. X-rays and gamma rays are the strongest on the spectrum.
Companies like Aires Tech are working to find ways to lower our risk to the more harmful waves and actually harness electromagnetic radiation so that it can be used to our advantage. Many of the tools they have created are used to make the environment safer while opening the door to new innovations and ideas that make our lives easier. Electromagnetic radiation is everywhere. It is higher in some places and lower in others. By using this technology, we can enjoy the benefits connectivity offers without worrying about the risks.
