How can pregnant women stay away from radiation?

During pregnancy, expectant mothers may feel physically and mentally exhausted because they have to avoid the radiation that is everywhere in life. Even in our bedrooms, there may be fans, air conditioners, electric heaters, etc. These have strong radiation and sleeping next to them may be dangerous to the body. In fact, if you want to protect yourself from radiation, you should master the following techniques to easily prevent radiation invasion.

Radiation protection tips for expectant mothers

Radiation pollution is everywhere. For expectant mothers, radiation is a major threat to the health of mother and baby. Next, we will find the radiation sources hidden in our homes, workplaces, and hospitals, and keep a safe distance from them!

Home radiation protection

In recent years, a new term has emerged - "radiation house", which has frightened many families who have just bought fans. According to radiation detection experts, some of the natural decorative stones currently used in residents' homes are radioactively contaminated, and many construction materials such as fly ash bricks, slag bricks, GRC, etc. made from industrial waste have excessive radioactivity levels. Some home decoration uses wallpaper, wall cloth, paint, plastic, plate, etc., which release a lot of harmful gases, causing serious indoor air pollution, turning it into a "radiation house" or a "polluted room".

Therefore, whether a young couple is buying or renting a house, they should first undergo a thorough radiation check and try to avoid living in an unhealthy environment. If they cannot change their residence, they should measure where the radiation is strongest and shield it or adjust the position of furniture to increase the distance between family members' contact with radioactive materials and reduce the time they are exposed to radiation.

Workplace radiation protection

Computers - There are two types of computer radiation

1. X-ray radiation from computer screens

This can be avoided by simply using a fiberglass barrier, or by simply keeping the distance from the computer screen to the keyboard more than 30 cm.

2. Radiation from the electric coil on the back of the computer

This type of radiation is quite harmful, but most people don't work behind a computer. If there are expectant mothers who work in a computer room, they should be careful and try to avoid working behind the computer. Move the computer at the back to the side, or use a laptop instead.

Mobile phone - The radiation from mobile phones is also tiny. Although its effect is not as strong as that of microwave ovens, it can also cause harm to the human body. Therefore, it is best for expectant mothers to reduce the chances of using mobile phones, and to make a long story short, try to avoid hanging the mobile phone around the waist. There is still some debate about the question of "Which one has greater radiation, CDMA or GSM mobile phones?" Therefore, no matter which mobile phone expectant mothers use, they must be as careful as possible!

Copier - Coils, electric coils and motors all emit radiation, so do not put your body close to or lean against the copier to operate it. In general use, a safe distance between the body and the machine is 30 cm. Currently, the newer copiers on the market have the radiation-generating parts installed on the chassis, which is less harmful to the body.

Safe use of computers and mobile phones by expectant mothers

Pregnant women should not use the computer for more than 20 hours a week and should leave for 10 minutes every hour.

Pregnant women should minimize the use of mobile phones.

Pregnant women should also watch less TV, reduce the time using electrical products, or try to maintain a safe distance.
