modems, and other wireless products have become a potential health hazard. While their health effects are largely untested, there have been numerous studies of the effects of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from these devices. All scientists agree that this radiation is dangerous at high levels and new studies are beginning to suggest that they may pose health risk at lower levels as well.("Wi-Fi Health Dangers & Radiation Health Effects") U.S. Citizens enjoy the many conveniences associated
Also cell phones can provide us with everything, like relaxing with music, browsing the internet, chatting on social networking sites or playing games. Unfortunately cell phones are not risk free. Using cell phones involve emission of EMR electromagnetic radiation, which is a dangerous sort of energy wave, is produce by modern appliances that surround us in everyday lives. The worst causes of EMR are cell phones. These days especially children are getting addicted to cell phones. When you are talking
on the health of the user and have been assessing the dangers associated with the use of cell phones, including the potential to cause types of cancer. The cause for this concern, according to the National Cancer Institute, is that cell phones emit radiofrequency energy (radio waves), a form of electromagnetic radiation, and tissues nearest to where the phone is being held can absorb this form of radiation. Electromagnetic radiation is categorised into ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and being
PART 1 The Electromagnetic Spectrum is the range of frequencies of possible electromagnetic radiation. The Spectrum ranges from 0 Hertz up to 2.4x1023 Hertz. The exact wavelength limits of the Spectrum are unknown however it is widely believed that the short wavelength limit is equal to the Planck Length (1.616x10-35m) and the long wavelength limit is the length of the Universe. Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is an occurrence that takes the form of self-propagating waves produced by the motion
A cell phone, also referred to as a cellular phone, transmits electromagnetic radiation into the air. This occurs, when your cell phone has to connect to a phone, you want to have a conversation with, by checking for networks Electromagnetic radiation, which is often abbreviated as EMR, is a form of energy which when travels through space, displays a wave like behaviour. Electromagnetic radiation has electric and also magnetic field components. Electric fields are generated by electrically charged
and friends around the world. Mobiles phones use and transmit waves to receive and send signals and let out radiation. However, there is a bit of a problem with these devices, they give off radiation, which may or may not be dangerous. Radiation means the discharge of energy electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization. Radiation that can produce ions when it interacts with matter is called ionizing. Ions are charged particles that are
interdace.it us a portable telephone that uses and receive phone signals.it also divides that earth into small regional called cells.in the resent estimates there are over 190 million people using mobile phone. One of the primary health concerns is the impact of cell phone radiation, by radio waves by which it operates. A cell phone is essentially a two-way radio consisting of a radio transmitter and a radio receiver. When you talk to your friend on your mobile phone, your mobile transfers your voice into
(wireless communication technology) which work by radiofrequency exposure in an electromagnetic field. Because cell phones are very important devices in our lives, people use them a lot .Not only do people use cell phones to communicate, but also they use them to take pictures, to search the internet and to send text messages. As a result, people are spending a lot of time with mobile phones which work in an electromagnetic field. There are several devices that have radiofrequency waves, such as microwaves
Health Effects And Hazards Of Radiation Amari McClarty Radiology October 1, 2017 Health Effects And Hazards Of Radiation 2 Health Effects And Hazards Of Radiation What is Radiation? Radiation is a A form of energy carried by waves or a stream of particles. Radiation is a fragment that is capable of ionizing atoms or molecules isolating electrons from them due to its sufficiently possessed energy when it is passed through them. Radiations include alpha, beta and gamma rays. They can cause severe
We depend on electromagnetic energy every moment of our lives, from watching tv to microwaving our food, without it our world would not be the same. Electromagnetic energy travels in waves, and has a very large range from long radio waves to very short gamma rays called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of electromagnetic radiation according to energy, frequency or wavelength. From radio waves to gamma rays there are 7 types of lights most not visible
The dangers of the electromagnetic can be low on danger and high on danger. Depending on the amount of how much the body absorbs verifies the lethality of the EMFs. Humans are extremely sensitive to EMFs. Yes if a person absorbs too much energy it can lead potential to death, but if they absorb small portions it can lead can lead to nausea, paranoia, and many more small affects. The US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has issued cautionary advisories on EMFs. Everyone
The electromagnetic spectrum is all around us and serves many beneficial and lifesaving purposes every day. There is no escaping it, because much of the spectrum cannot be seen. We can tell it has taken place by getting a tan or sunburn or by the fact that our plants and flowers thrive and grow. This includes x-rays, gamma rays, visible, ultraviolet, infrared light, radio waves and microwaves. While it has many useful purposes, it can also have many negative consequences due to overexposure, some
Electromagnetic Radiation and Its Effect on the Human Body In 1998 a Maryland neurologist, Dr. Christopher Newman, was diagnosed with brain cancer and he could no longer work as a result of his disease. He claimed that the Motorola cell phone he had in 1992 to keep in touch with his patients gave him cancer. Then in 2000, he filed an $800 million lawsuit against several wireless providers including Motorola Inc., Verizon Communications Corp., Bell Atlantic Mobile Systems, and others. Within a month
Radiation Have you ever been to the doctor and got an X-Ray? If so, you have just been exposed to radiation. Radiation is the emission of energy from any source. Two examples of radiation are light that comes from the sun and the heat that is constantly coming off the human body. Electromagnetic spectrum is the range of wavelengths or frequencies in which electromagnetic radiation extends. The wavelengths range from low energy (low-frequency) to high energy (high-frequency). Radiofrequency radiation

millions of lives every year by getting us clear images of internal body structures so that we can diagnose and treat patients quickly. Not all waves are the ones like in the ocean. For example there are radio waves. Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation
cancer patients with electronic devices such as cardiac pacemaker or internal cardiac defibrillator have been encountered and are treated with radiotherapy. New generation devices are more sensitive to radiation and electromagnetic waves. Device interaction is different according to the type of radiation used. During the radiotherapy planning, the characteristics of the device and the dependence of the patient on the device must be considered. The device should not be in the treatment field, <10 MV energy
As atoms’ electrons break free of the original atom, they jump to another atom to another. This jumping causes a flow of electricity. There approximately 121 protons per inch and 121 electrons per inch. When measuring the different kinds of electromagnetic units, you should use ampere (electric current), coulomb (electric charge), farad (capacitance), henry (inductance), ohm (resistance), volt (electric potential), and watt (power). An electromagnet is made from a magnet, a battery, an iron core
work? X-rays are electromagnetic waves that are like light. They can penetrate materials with masses to different levels. When the x-rays hit the film, it creates an image which shows it like a light would. Since bone, fat, muscle, tumors and other structures all absorb x-rays at different levels, the image on the film lets you see different distinct structures inside the body. This is because of the various levels of exposure on the film. What is radioactivity? What is radiation? Unstable atomic
INTRODUCTION Electromagnetic waves propagate in waves with several measurable characters, namely: wavelength, amplitude and speed frequency. The amplitude is the wave height, whereas the wavelength is the distance between the two peaks. The frequency is the sum waves passing through a single point in a single unit of time. The frequency depends on the speed of wave propagation. hence, the speed of the electromagnetic energy is constant. Electromagnetic energy has a very important role in everyday
