Which household appliances are harmful to health?

Over the entire period of technological development, inventors have come up with many household devices that make life easier, without which modern people cannot imagine their life. This is a washing machine, refrigerator, TV, as well as a microwave, computer and much more. But few of us think about the question: “Are these items really harmless?” Unfortunately, the answer is not reassuring. Our “helpers” emit electromagnetic radiation, which has a detrimental effect on the human body, especially the brain. But there is no point in resorting to extremes and getting rid of them. It is enough to understand this issue and take protective measures in a timely manner. Let's look at these two points in more detail.

Top household appliances harmful to health

Not all electronics are equally harmful to our health. From one device it can be insignificant, but from another it can reach a critical value. Let's consider each option from the most dangerous to the least harmful:

• Fridge. This unit is capable of emitting harmful waves at a distance of about two meters. And even walls are not an obstacle;
• Washing machine. In addition to electromagnetic radiation, it creates vibration, especially for incorrectly installed units;
• Microwave. Not a single modern kitchen can do without this device, because it makes our life easier and saves time.Of course, the creators tried to ensure maximum safety and as long as the body of the item is not damaged, the danger is minimal. But it’s better to play it safe and keep contact time to a minimum;
• TV. If you spend a lot of time looking at the screen, do not maintain distance, or turn it up too loud, you can damage your hearing and vision;
• Computer. Entire books could be written about the dangers of this device. This is especially true for devices connected to the network. Some people, with constant use, develop an addiction that forces them to spend a lot of time in front of the monitor. At the same time, such people forget about natural needs: nutrition, sleep. And in addition to eye disease, they acquire a bunch of difficult-to-treat diseases;

Reference! In 2015, a child died in Bashkiria after spending 22 days playing games. He was so immersed in the virtual world that his heart could not stand it.

Is it possible to reduce the negative impact of household appliances and how to do it?

Despite the danger that these units pose, modern people cannot refuse to use them, because they greatly facilitate our life and more. Therefore, if you want to protect your health, you can use the methods below:

• Household appliances should be located at least two meters from your sleeping place;

Attention! When calculating the distance to the unit, keep in mind that walls are not an obstacle to radiation.

• In a modern TV, the radiation comes from the back, so it is best to place it against the wall;
• When purchasing, carefully read the technical documentation. It is better to choose a device of lower power;
• Try not to turn on several electrical units in one room.For example, if you work at a computer, then it is better to turn off the TV or stereo system;

Do not allow the wires of the devices to be curled into rings; this situation leads to an increase in the radiation power.
