1. Radiation hazards
At present, electromagnetic radiation pollution has become the fourth largest environmental pollution after water, air, and noise. Generally, exposure to electromagnetic radiation pollution can cause central nervous system problems such as headaches, insomnia, and irregular heart rate. Some people may also experience vision loss, skin diseases, and even cancer. At the same time, different people or the same person at different age groups have different abilities to withstand electromagnetic radiation. Even in environments that exceed the standard, it does not mean that everyone will get sick, so there is no need to panic about electromagnetic radiation.
2. Radiation sources in daily life
Household appliances: TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, microwave, vacuum cleaner, etc.
Office equipment: mobile phones, computers, copiers, etc.
Home decoration: marble, composite flooring, wallpaper, paint, etc.
Surrounding environment: substation, television (broadcasting) signal transmission tower, etc.
3. Natural radiation
Human beings mainly receive natural radiation from nature. It comes from the sun, cosmic rays, and radioactive isotopes present in the Earth's crust.
4. Occupations related to radiation
Occupations related to radiation include: exploration, mining, smelting, and precision processing of nuclear materials in the nuclear industry system; Cultivating new varieties through irradiation in agriculture; Medical X-ray fluoroscopy, radiation therapy for tumors, etc; Various accelerators, ray generators, electron microscopes, high-pressure electron tubes, etc. in the industrial sector.
