In the modern world, the consumer potential of Internet technologies as a segment in obtaining accessible information has grown significantly. This growth trend is observed every year almost throughout the planet. Along with this, the number of opinions about the harm caused by technical devices for accessing the Internet using a router (router) is also growing. But is the WiFi network or the equipment that provides it really harmful? One of the main theses against the use of a wireless network (especially among residents of megacities) is the harm from continuous radiation.
Invisible Assassin
Maybe in the near future, when building a building, the laying of network wires will be as relevant as the rest of communication, but so far this trend has not been observed, everyone deals with such things individually. In fact, despite being relatively new andmodern development in wireless communication and information transmission services, a large number of tests have already been carried out, but there are still no hard facts, based on which it would be possible to firmly state the harm that this invention can bring to mankind. On the other hand, all studies that have been conducted on living organisms, including human cells, only say that the radiation from Wi-Fi routers clearly does not have any positive effect. In the case of the plant world, some data speak of destructive radiation for their cells.
But is Wi-Fi harmful enough to our he alth to completely abandon this type of Internet access, because 3G (especially in some remote areas) is not good enough to meet the growing needs of the population to be able to constantly be in online anywhere in the world. We will get answers to this and many other questions in this article.
Wifi phobia
In order to appreciate the real scale of the existing problem, one can look at the countries that are leading the world in innovative Internet technologies and dependence on them. For example, in the USA there is a place that covers an area of 33 square meters. km (Green Bank), so in this area it is forbidden not only to use wireless networks, but also any electrical appliances. People come here from all over America. Continuing the topic of security bordering on insanity, it is worth noting clothing and foil walls that can prevent radiation. Some entrepreneurs even managed to make money onsuch a phobia, and they began to produce special foil wallpapers, the cost of which reaches up to $ 800 per roll.
In the capital of Holland, there are even separate shops with special signs indicating that these shops are located in a Wi-Fi free zone. Thus, where there is a place for phobias, there is an opportunity to make money on it. Now it’s worth knowing the opinion of doctors on this matter, whether WiFi directly harms human he alth or not.
What is this
Before looking for the cause of the excitement among the population of the entire planet, it is necessary to understand what WiFi really is? Harm to he alth, in principle, carries any radio signal, such as a cell phone or radio, the only difference is that the router operates at higher frequencies. If we compare the radio and the router, then the first one has a working wave range in the radius of 50-150 MHz, while the second has 2.4-5 GHz, which is actually a thousand times more, but there is a rather erroneous opinion in the world about, the higher the frequency of the signal, the more detrimental its effect.
Naturally, in order for the harm of a WiFi router to be noticeable enough for the human body, such a signal must act on a person purposefully, constantly, with great strength and constant amplitude. It is worth noting that the mobile phone has more negative impact.
Ministry of He alth warns
As already mentioned, absolutely all radio signals one way or anotherotherwise affect the atoms and living cells of the body. Thus, doctors confidently declare that the harm of a WiFi router extends to:
- Vessels of the brain.
- Children (due to thin skull).
- Male potency.
These are just a few areas of radiation influence that need to be analyzed separately.
The influence of Wi-Fi on the vessels of the brain
Danish scientists conducted a series of tests in which they asked several schoolchildren to put their Wi-Fi-enabled mobile phone under the pillow before going to bed. In the morning, all the necessary studies were carried out, and doctors diagnosed vasospasm and a deterioration in concentration in more subjects. At the same time, this experiment cannot be considered purely carried out, because it was carried out on schoolchildren, and not on adults, and in children the skull is much thinner, however, the harm of WiFi for a child's body is a topic for a separate discussion.
Influence on children
Despite the fact that the World He alth Organization has declared the negative impact of broadband wireless networks, including WiFi, it is electromagnetic radiation that is harmful to he alth. At the same time, WHO staff emphasize precisely that they do not have any hard evidence and hard facts at their disposal. Therefore, the harm of WiFi and mobile phones remains as an unproven risk.
Impact on men's he alth
The fact is that eminent doctorsscientists, physicians and scientists analyzed sperm samples, and the results shocked them. The experiment involved 30 he althy, adult men who took sperm for experiments. Initially, they conducted a spermogram and all the necessary studies on the number of dead and active spermatozoa, after which some samples were put on a computer with Wi-Fi turned on and began to download files from the network. After four hours of study, the test samples were compared, so that in the sample under irradiation, 25% of the spermatozoa were dead, while in the second, only 14% died. Deoxyribonucleic acid was also measured in those that remained alive, in samples without experience, damage was 3%, while in the second it was three times higher.
Scientists explained the harm of WiFi radiation precisely by electromagnetic waves. For the purity of the experiment, similar studies were also carried out with a computer connected to a wired network, and no changes were noticed between the two samples. This can only testify to the fact that after all, men should not get involved in the Internet, holding a laptop on their laps.
Arguments for using Wi-Fi
Given all the negative factors, everyone should note for themselves whether the harm or benefit of a WiFi network will be the main thing in making a decision. But if everything is clear with the negative factors of the impact of such radiation, then it is worthwhile to deal with the positive aspects of such a modern invention as a router.
Among the positive aspects of wirelessInternet can only be noted for its mobility. Due to the absence of wires, the use of the Internet is relevant even in places where it is not possible to stretch the wire. Among such places, one can note the holding of a conference in the hall or a presentation. We must not forget that thanks to this type of wireless network, several people can connect to the same access point at once, naturally, the speed of transferring files and traffic will be lower, but it all depends solely on the speed of the Internet itself, which is provided by the provider of this services.
Harm reduction recommendations
Despite the fact that the harm of Wi-Fi has not been officially proven, if it is possible to abandon this type of network and switch to a wired one, then this will be the best option to protect yourself and your he alth. If this is not possible for one reason or another, it is necessary to minimize the influence of waves on your body as much as possible. When the access point is located in the apartment, it is not recommended to install it directly near the bedroom or the place where a person stays for a long time. In the case of an office or any other public place, instead of several access points, it is best to create one, but with more power.
If you do not use the wireless Internet for a long time, the access point must be turned off, because even when it is inactive, it continues to send signals. The same actions must be done at night. Thanks to such simple actions, any person has the opportunity to significantly reduce the effect of radiation fromrouter on the body. Thus, if you do not apply a WiFi router to your head, the harm to he alth that it can cause will not be felt.
In conclusion
Despite the warnings of the World He alth Organization and numerous tests, no one wants to limit the use of this technology throughout the planet as soon as possible. Nobody wondered why? Why should people's he alth be a personal problem for themselves? The answers to these questions, most likely, lie precisely in the multimillion-dollar profits that companies receive, in the event of bans around the world, this fairly strong infrastructure can simply collapse, and world-famous corporations will suffer huge losses. Televisions, computers, phones, tablets and even household appliances, almost all devices and devices that surround a person already have a built-in Wi-Fi function, if they are banned, such companies will have to remove all this from sale and production. That is why "the salvation of the drowning is the work of the drowning themselves." Everyone must make a choice for himself - he must follow the fashion trend and endanger his body, or there are some alternative ways to solve this problem.
