How does it affect the person. Myth: Wi-Fi provides access to viruses. How to reduce the effect of a harmful factor on the human body.

Modern people in large cities are so used to newfangled gadgets and to constant "contact" with the Internet, which sometimes does not even think about the possible harm of "new products". One of the "inconspicuous" problems is the familiar signal to every wi-fi, which covers more than 70% of the territory of large cities. Today we will understand the possible harm from wai faia for the human body.

Wi-Fi  Is an electromagnetic signal, a wireless technology that allows the interaction (transmission of information) of various devices through a radio signal channel at a certain frequency.

The question of whether Wai Fail is harmful, can be classified as a question, is there life on Mars? No one with absolute certainty can assert neither that, nor another, as there are no exact data about it. The decision is made for each personally. We just try to figure out what the possible danger is wai faia.

Speaking of such a problem as the harm of Wi-Fi, one should consider the danger not in the signal itself, but in the degree of its power. If the source's goal is to transmit the signal over long distances, then its power should be much higher than that of a standard router that is installed in a small office or apartment.

Signal wai fay, like any electromagnetic radiation in any case, does not benefit the human body, again, it all depends on its power. In other words, we can say that wy-fie is harmful "in large numbers."

The child organism is most susceptible to any negative influence from the outside, including electromagnetic radiation. Specialists who oppose the use of Wi-Fi in the environment of children, argue their fears that the child has a more delicate cranial bone, as well as an incompletely formed nervous system. In their view, the negative impact of wireless technology can cause children to reduce motor skills, reduce attention and memory loss.

Physicians are not too loyal about the influence of Wi-Fi on the health of men, in particular, on the level of potency and the quality of sperm. It is believed that a powerful radio signal can affect cells, promote their convergence and increase intracellular temperature. There is no scientific evidence for this theory, but experts' fears are not always groundless.

Counterarguments or why wi fi is harmless

In ordinary life we ​​encounter radio waves quite often, without even thinking about it. Televisions, radios, mobile phones are all devices that receive radio signals, so a router, laptop or other gadget equipped with a wi-fi module is by no means the only source of such an impact.

The scientific physical data is that the power of the wi-fi router is most often 63 milliwatts. For comparison, we can cite the fact that the power mobile phone  at the time of the conversation - 1 watt, which is ten times stronger than the power of Wi Fi, especially since the router is much farther from our body than the phone.

Official position of the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization

Unlike the situation with mobile communication, the official conclusion of the health authorities about the undoubted harm wai faia to date, no. At the same time, most physicians recommend, as far as possible, to take measures to reduce the impact on the body of electromagnetic radiation, including the signal Wi-Fi.

  As you know, the power of the signal falls in proportion to the distance - the further a person is from the signal source, the less will be the degree of its effect on the body. In order to reduce harm from wai, it is recommended not to install a Wi-Fi router directly near the location of people.
We summarize all the recommendations:

1. Install the router in non-residential areas.
2. Unplug the router at night.
3. Keep children and pregnant women away from the router.
4. Keep the receiver / transmitter of the wi-fi signal on farther from yourself.
5. Try not to transfer large amounts of information through wi-fi without special need.
6. If possible, do not buy high-power routers.

If you seriously decide to shield yourself from wi-fi radiation, it will be logical to go to the end and the first is to refuse to use a mobile phone and a microwave oven.

Wi-Fi equipment surrounds us everywhere - at home, at work, in shops and cafes. It managed to get used to everything, as this technology is an extremely convenient way for wireless Internet access. For this reason, people turn a blind eye and prefer not to know what harm to Wi-Fi radiation is caused to the environment and the human body. However, this need to know at least in order to have an idea of ​​what is invisible, but tightly surrounds us and is an integral part of life.

What is Wi-Fi-radiation?

In addition to wireless Internet access, Wi-Fi technology allows you to transfer other data to home and laptop computers, digital players and game consoles. This is the second most common form of wireless technology and second only to cellular communication. As well as all other wireless radio frequency wave transmitters, such as a Bluetooth device, remote control panels  for doors, household appliances, garage, wi-Fi equipment emits Wi-Fi radio frequency waves.

Non-atomic radiation, the type of which is a radio wave, is not the cause of the destruction of chemical bonds in the human body. What can not be said about atomic radiation, which is represented, for example, by the X-ray apparatus. So in this respect the equipment with the Wi-Fi-radiation standard has an undoubted advantage over the X-ray image, although at the philistine level it is generally assumed that these beams are identical.

The human body partially absorbs the radio emission emitted wi-Fi devices   - depending on the degree of distance of the body from its source and signal strength, this indicator will vary. In this respect, cell phones are much more harmful, since during the conversation the radiation source is at a minimum distance from the brain. Devices of the same range of Wi-Fi impact more often than not so tightly to the human body. Therefore, the harm of Wi-Fi, if compared with the level of other radio signals - such as FM waves - does not exceed the general indicators of the influence of waves on the human body, which, of course, take place.

Wireless Internet or twisted pair

Wi-Fi technologies quickly entered our lives and literally in a decade put their networks everywhere so that there was a need to have somewhere "free from Wi-Fi zone".

However, it was not always so, and the usual wired Internet  on a twisted pair just recently had no competition, which literally completely ousted him from everywhere. But what better and justified such rapid changes?

Wired Internet is really quite sluggish and tied to the localization of the wire, which in modern realities of extreme mobility with conferences "for an hour" and other permanent movements make it unwieldy, uncomfortable and outdated. However, this endangered species will be extremely useful for those who have children at home, because radio waves, even of weak power, affect the human body - the only intrigue is whether it brings harm. One thing is known reliably: it does not exactly benefit the growing organism with the unformed nervous system, the thin walls of the skull and so far the weak immunity of any radioactive radiation should be avoided.

The World Health Organization refers the radiation produced by a mobile phone to dangerous for health, although there is no official opinion on Wi-Fi equipment.

The impact of Wi-Fi on the human body

According to scientific research radio waves are recognized as potentially dangerous for humans, and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that children be protected from direct exposure. During the study, violations in the cerebral vessels were noted, although there is still no evidence base for these studies. Thus, the negative effect of Wi-Fi on the human body is due solely to the presence of those radio waves that are emitted by Wi-Fi equipment.

In addition to Wi-Fi equipment, radio waves of non-atomic radiation are radiated by such familiar devices as, for example, a microwave oven, a TV set, a radio receiver.

Hypothetical health risk from radio-wave radiation should not be ignored, although the scientific community has not yet been found, the availability of limited evidence, even if uncontroversial, becomes a factor that inspires certain fears, including reproductive function, influence on future generation and the risk of cancer.

To ensure that the influence of Wi-Fi on a person was not higher than acceptable, it is necessary to observe safety precautions. The level above which radiation should not be raised in public places should be controlled by the official medical instruction. The "harmfulness threshold" of Wi-Fi waves should be higher than the maximum allowed in regulatory documents. But while there are no such instructions in our country, and the process of radio wave propagation, including Wi-Fi, is not controlled by anyone, it is necessary to independently adjust the technique by 50% or less from the capabilities of routers.

However, the possibilities of routers have limited power and their use is not as harmful as the radar is harmful or other specialized radio equipment.

Wi-Fi and health

The international safety limits of the Wi-Fi signal correspond to the safety of citizens, and this gives hope that our routers are implemented according to the international standard. In this regard, preventive measures to prevent increased wi-fi-emissions are not provided. In addition, each router and other device supporting the transmission of Wi-Fi waves, there is an instruction that should be studied and independently set the signal to a minimum. The less exposure to radio waves the body has, the less risk to health and direct influence on the behavior of cells in the human body.

When trying to find out whether the wi-fi is harmful to health, the Danish scientists conducted an experiment. Human cells, according to their studies during the experiment on children - they had to sleep through the night with the phone under the pillow in which Wi-Fi was active, have the property of changing under the influence of these rays. Scientists have revealed in the subjects vascular spasms and decreased concentration of attention. However, in children, unlike adults, the skull is thinner and has more bandwidth.

As well as television, radio or mobile communications, wireless wi-Fi network  uses radio waves in the range 3-30 GHz. According to WHO, the outgoing rays of this range do not have adverse medical effects. But, despite this, it is strongly recommended to protect children from exposure to any radio waves, including Wi-Fi spectrum.

The danger of Wi-Fi-radiation

The non-natural origin of the fields of electromagnetic waves, which are artificially created by humans, causes unnaturalness for the human body. The fact that a person, and other living organisms, there is no indicator that would acquaint them with them and create an adaptation. The danger of such fields is imperceptible and invisible, just as it was already said, it has not been proven thoroughly. However, the time of mass use of Wi-Fi-technologies is still too short to objectively judge its influence on generations and the long-term effect of its impact.

Electromagnetic smog now affects a person 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Many people are accustomed to the presence of invisible rays and do not attach much importance to this. But how dangerous is this smog? Entering into direct contact with natural electromagnetic fields, a person distorts it. According to researches of scientists, it is found out that such influence can worsen the immunity, as the body cells are heated and damaged under the influence of alien fields. Violated their information and cellular exchange, worsening functional health, there are various diseases. Research centers around the world dealing with this problem suspect the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the development of cancerous tumors, memory problems, which clearly worsened in the subjects during the experiment. There is also a link between long-term exposure to fields and the development of impotence, eye diseases, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, and the reduction of erythrocytes in the blood.

The impact on health can be particularly noticeable in children and pregnant women, since a growing and developing organism can not yet resist the aggressive effects of fields. The proliferation of Wi-Fi networks in universities, schools and kindergartens can cause irreparable harm to children and adolescents.

In addition to cancer, Wi-Fi radiation can negatively affect cardiac function and cause dementia. In Europe and the US, more and more often they refuse to use Wi-Fi in children's institutions.

Some experiments with waves of Wi-Fi

A lot of various experiments were conducted by both professional laboratory assistants and simple indifferent citizens of different countries. But confirmation of the harm of Wi-Fi-radiation is still at the official level.

Experiment with plants

To find out whether Wi-Fi affects human health, Danish schoolgirls have experienced how Wi-Fi waves affect plants. Schoolgirls were planted 12 seeds of salad in 12 trays. Six trays at the same time placed in a room where no Wi-Fi beams passed, and the other six stood in the same room as the router. At the same schoolgirls diligently looked after the seedlings, while watering them and providing enough light and fresh air. After 2 weeks seedlings started, but among those plants that did not receive electromagnetic waves. The remaining seeds either did not rise, or they came late and quickly wilted.

Experiment of school girls interested in the scientific minds of Sweden, who promised to conduct such an experiment in the laboratory.

Experiment with water

According to the researchers, if there is a change in the contact of Wi-Fi with natural water, these changes will also occur in the human body, since it also consists of water. For this purpose, several types of water were selected, which were exposed to electromagnetic radiation for 12 hours. In the course of the experiments, changes in the pH level were actually recorded, the ability to conduct electrical conductivity decreased, its composition changed among impurities, and also the properties of water. Thus, the researchers came to the conclusion that the chemical composition and properties of water that enters the human body and other living things also undergo changes.

Experiment within the walls of the university

Volunteer students were offered to sit in a shielded cell where no external radiation penetrated, while another group of students were invited to sit in a normal room with a Wi-Fi network, gadgets and the Internet. In the course of the experiment, it was found that with the free access of several dozen wireless networks, the demand for water among students increased dramatically. At that time, in a cell free from electromagnetic smog, the students' thirst was several times less.

This experiment confirmed WHO studies that the presence of an EMV action causes the body cells to move faster, which leads to dehydration and other processes.

How to protect yourself from electromagnetic radiation

Different obstacles absorb the Wi-Fi signal in different ways. Concrete, brick walls of the house can significantly reduce it, but in addition to protect yourself from the effects of radio emission can be using special devices: there are, for example, special aprons with the effect of screening, not passing any rays. They are in demand among pregnant women who rightly fear the influence of Wi-Fi-radiation on the development of the child. Also there are on sale wallpaper with a metal coating, which, as stated, also significantly reduce the rays of this spectrum.

If there was an irresistible desire to protect yourself from radiation at home, it would be superfluous to know that metal solid material or a fine metal mesh would help. Reflective abilities, for example, have the usual foil - the degree of its protection is unknown to science, but it is widespread in the people - it can be used as a partial or complete isolation from radio waves.

In an apartment building, the problem is more multifaceted: even if you protect yourself against radiation by applying all the necessary prophylaxis:

• reduce the signal level on the router;
• do a partition using a foil between the body and the gadget;
• to buy a radio-reflective apron for pregnant women;
• turn off Wi-Fi at night, keep the equipment away from the nursery.

All the same, the signal will penetrate from the neighbors, since even very dense walls are capable of transmitting electromagnetic radiation.

To install in the apartment reflective panels on walls or special wallpaper, you need a lot of capital, because in an uneasy atmosphere on this topic, the target audience enterprising businessmen have found a gold mine and such adaptations are very expensive. Therefore, in this situation and the Russian reality as a whole, it will be easier to talk with neighbors, familiarizing them with the topic and asking them to make a smaller signal if they have no additional connections on the other floors.

As became known, wireless router  Internet uses the same radio frequency as the microwave oven. Thus, one can doubt the safety of this device, without which the modern life of people equipped with information technology, gadgets and other things is impossible.

Basic information

A router or router used at home or in an apartment is a special network device that allows you to use the appropriate path, concerning the transfer of data from a particular provider to a PC, smartphone, tablet or laptop.

Wi fi provides wireless way  sending information due to certain electromagnetic radiation. So, how bad is the Wi-Fi for human health, especially for young children? Given the fact that the wi fi router operates at a very high frequency, it is guaranteed to cause a certain amount of damage to human health. Similar conclusions can be drawn from some studies that confirm or disprove this information. It is for this reason that you need to figure out what kind of harm the WIFI router has on the human body.

Danger of emissions from the Internet router

To determine what harm the wi fi router is doing, it is advisable to refer to the technical specifications of this equipment. The wi-fi router can operate in a certain frequency range, namely 2.4 GHz. As for the power of a standard home router, it is equal to 100 μW. In the process of influence of this frequency on the human body, friction of molecules and glucose, as well as fat, is observed, which is accompanied by an increased temperature.

This frequency is created by nature in order to exchange certain information between the systems and organs of the human body. This is why the wi-fi router is harmful to human health, since the long-term impact of the local network contributes to the disruption of functions in cell growth and division.

The damage caused by the wi fi router is enhanced by the speed, as well as by the radius of transmission of specific data. An excellent illustration of this fact is the enormous speed of transfer of massive information that occurs during the period of downloading photos, music, films, various data. In this situation, the air acts as a transmitting medium. The damage to the wi-fi router can be significant, since the cells of the human body are able to receive, transmit energy at different frequencies.

If a person lives in an apartment, then many routers that are installed throughout the apartment building can be affected by it. Metal structures, brick walls are just a small barrier, reducing the radius of influence of a wi fi router, but it is not able to fully contain the whole portion of radiation that is harmful to health. Do not forget that all offices, cafes and restaurants, clubs, institutions, have wireless Internet access. That is why we can safely say that the harm of Wi-Fi radiation on the health of an adult child is carried out round the clock.

Basically, users do not turn off the wi fi router even at night, so the body is constantly experiencing a negative impact of aggressive environmental factors. If we summarize this information, we can conclude that night sleep can not bring a full recovery, immunity weakens, so people often get sick. That's why wyfe is especially harmful to young children.

How harmful is the wai file

Of course, for wireless wi fi in your own house you have to pay. However, the health of young children and adults is too high a price! Is waifi so bad for health or is it another myth?

To correctly estimate the amount of harm from the wi fi router installed at home, you can take advantage of special parameters, namely optical power of the radiation. The unit of this parameter is 1 dBm. As for the power of the phones, it is at least 27 dBm, the value of the wifi router is 20 dBm.

In addition, wi fi can not be located as close to a person as a mobile phone. Most often the distance is about one or two meters, which does not cause such great damage to human health, as from telephones. With regard to the power of the wifi radiation, it decreases noticeably in accordance with the proportional increase in the square of the distance to the router wi fi. In simple words, is wifi harmful to health as much as a mobile phone.

Methods for reducing the negative impact

If you are experiencing relatively wi fi emissions, then there is the possibility of reducing the emissions from the wireless router itself. Each wi fi device has a certain power level, but this is almost not paid attention. Most Internet users do not interfere with the factory settings of the wi fi device, leaving the highest power. If you install another power on the sensor, namely ten, twenty-five percent or fifty, then wifi router  will not be so harmful.

Interesting information about wi fi devices:

• 2 wi fi routers and 20 laptops have the same effect as a single mobile phone;
• the signal strength of such a device is weaker by a hundred thousand times than the microwave oven.

Ways to protect against such emissions:

• if you do not use the Internet, you can turn off the access point;
• fix instruments from the workplace at a distance of forty centimeters;
• do not sleep with the router on.

Observing simple rules and recommendations, you will be able to protect yourself and your people from the negative impact of modern technologies that make human life much easier and more convenient. It is advisable to limit the small child from such influence at home, following the recommendations.

It is indispensable in our life. Now no one is surprised by the presence of Wi-Fi in the office, shopping and entertainment complexes, beauty salons, restaurants and cafes, just in parks and on the streets and squares of big cities. At home in almost every family there are several devices with access to the Internet, Wi-Fi helps solve the issue of simultaneous access. The router removes wires that are tangled underfoot. Wireless technologies  penetrate into our everyday life deeper and deeper.

But in parallel with this many researchers, and ordinary users are tormented by the question, how does Vai-Fai affect our body? Some talk about harmlessness, others argue that the harm of Wi-Fi is quite tangible. Let us consider some aspects of this issue.

A few words about Wi-Fi technology and the purpose of Wi-Fi routers

Wi-Fi is a wireless radio standard that operates at a frequency of 2.4 to 5 GHz. For experimental purposes, the frequency can reach 20 GHz, but in domestic life such high frequencies are not used. The data transfer speed increases every day, the level of protection increases.

With the help of Wi-Fi, you can create a wireless network with access to the Internet in almost any room and connect to it a lot of devices, such as laptops, tablets, telephones, TVs and even watches. Unlike a wired connection, you can connect practical unlimited number of devices through Wai-Fi.

The presence of a wireless network creates a lot of convenience, but is the Wi-Fi router harmful in the apartment?

Effect of electromagnetic waves on the body

The frequency at which the router's transmitter operates affects the functioning of the cells of the human body, causing the molecules of water, glucose, and fat to come closer and rub, which entails a rise in temperature. Because of this, cells can work incorrectly and fail.

When downloading large volumes, the data transfer rate increases. Data is transmitted over the air on the average frequency range. Since cells can receive energy at different frequencies, the possibility of causing harm to health should not be ruled out.

Living in an apartment, we are irradiated by the radiation of the routers of our neighbors. The walls are not capable of completely protecting us from the waves. Plus, wireless access points are installed in cafes, offices, shops. In fact, each of us is exposed to radiation all day long. And many of us do not turn off the router even at night.

Wi-Fi router

Doctors conducted repeated studies on the dangers of Wi-Fi for humans. Radiation of the electromagnetic field can cause such symptoms as insomnia, irritability, fatigue, headache. Night sleep can not bring us the proper recovery, and immunity does not protect against viruses and diseases.

Effects on the vessels of the brain. Danish scientists offered some students to put a smartphone with Vai-Fay on for the night. Examinations showed a worsening of attention and the presence of vasospasms. But since the participants in the experiment were children, do not count on the purity of the experiment.

Influence on children. Since the skull of children is thinner, they are more at risk. Although the World Health Organization reported that broadband wireless networks do not affect the body, it is the electromagnetic waves that harm the body. At the same time, the organization emphasizes the fact that there is no convincing evidence of radiation damage.

Influence on male health. Within the framework of the experiment it was established that electromagnetic radiation affects spermatozoa. In a sample installed on a computer with Wi-Fi turned on, 25% of spermatozoa perished in four hours. Therefore, men should not be abused, keeping the laptop on their knees.

How bad is Wi-Fi itself?

The main parameter influencing a person is the absolute optical power of radiation, which is measured in decibel-milliwatts (dBm). The mobile phone's radiation power is 27 dBm, the user receives the greatest radiation when calling and searching for a network signal. The strength of the impact depends on the distance on which the phone is located from the owner, and the duration of the radiation.

The power of the radiation of the router is about 20 dBm, while it is usually a few meters from the user. And since the harm from radiation decreases in proportion to the distance from the device, then in comparison with a mobile phone, it can be said with certainty that the radiation of the router has much less impact on human health.

It is known that the range of Wi-Fi-waves is the same as in microwave ovens. But the radiation power of an ordinary router is about 100 thousand times weaker. This is another argument against the great harm of Wai-Fai, which scientists pay attention to. It can be argued that the benefit-harm ratio Wi-Fi-router is not the most dangerous device.

How to reduce the possible harm

Despite the fact that no real harm is proven, it's worth to protect yourself as much as possible, since electromagnetic radiation does not benefit you.

• If possible and appropriate, connect to a wired network instead of wireless, it will save your body from unnecessary rays.
• Keep the access point away from where you are most often.
• Turn off the Wi-Fi router for the night or when you do not use the Internet.

Conclusion

We hope that we helped you determine whether Wai-Fai is harmful. Remember that in the conditions of a big city to hide from electromagnetic waves is almost impossible, because we are surrounded by many of their sources: household appliances, laptops, smartphones and tablets, television signal, towers of mobile operators.

Despite the statements of scientists and researchers, few people give up convenience and limit use wireless networks. In addition, the production of equipment with - a huge business, and no one will change everything radically.

Decide for yourself whether you should risk yourself or you can do without home Wi-Fi and find alternative ways to solve the problem. Nobody will decide for you.

Do you think Wai-Fee is harmful? Could you give it up? In the comments we invite you to share your opinion on this matter.

And is Wi-Fi harmful at all?

Disputes about this physician lead for many years. And only schoolgirls from Denmark could visually, quickly prove the harm of radiation.

They tested the effect of Wi-Fi on plant seeds. To do this, they first took the tanks with the ground. And two of them sowed the usual watercress. After 12 days in one of the bowls, which was outside the zone wi-Fi access, germs sprouted. In another, who got into the zone, they never got up.

The work of girls is approved by experts. They intend to continue their research to prove, or, on the contrary, to refute the conclusions drawn.

Wireless Internet is not as safe for health as it seems

We all know about the dangers of mobile phones, laptops, microwave ovens in terms of radiation. But the wireless Internet has been forgotten. It turns out that this type of Internet also has harm, which affects our health.

It is very convenient to use wireless internet  WiFi in cafes, shopping centers and even soon this function will be available in the metro. But very few people know what is wired (modem with wires).

Of course, the harm from the wireless Internet is not completely proven, but it is known and proven that being in an apartment, a WiFi router, has an impact on the state of human health. Immediately this may not manifest itself, but over time it can make itself felt in the form of headaches, increased pressure without a cause, in some cases, heart rate increases.

Also, wireless Internet affects memory, it can deteriorate over time. Radiation from wiFi routers  can lead to the development of various tumors, changes in genes (DNA damage) and, of course, this kind of Internet can contribute to premature aging.

The damage from the router is almost the same as on the mobile phone. First of all, the radiation from the router affects the brain.

If already a wireless Internet router does not want to change to a modem with wires, then at least take precautions. Do not put the router next to the bed, or rather, hang on the wall next to the bed or put it against the wall where the bed is. We need to understand the settings and, when no one uses it, turn it off.
