How can you protect me against radiation? I feel tired if sitting infront of computer for only 1hour in a dry and hot day, in a rainy day I feel better.
sorry i don't know where to post this
HI Albert,
Studies claim that the electromagnetic radiation emtting out of your PC and its related parts like printers, modem and Wi-Fi devices can cause damages ranging from sleep disorders to allergic reactions to heart diseases.
Here are the ways in which you can minimize it ...
1) The first thing to do is to let go of your old PC, especially if it still has a CRT monitor. According to studies, the old box-shaped cathode-ray tube (CRT) computer monitors emit high levels of radiation.
LCD monitors relatively emits less radiation. According to reports, LCD screens create an EMF (Extremely Low Frequency) of 0.3 milligauss at 30 cm, from the front or back and practically nothing at the sides.
Reports also suggest that old computers release upto twice the amount of radiation compared to the new models developed using advanced technologies.
2) Attaching a radiation filter on the computer screen can also reduce the effect of computer radiation. Also, avoid placing any metal substances near your PC as they reflect electromagnetic waves.
3) Low on brightness
Set your computer screen brightness to a level that is comfortable for viewing. According to reports, the brighter the screen, the highest the radiation and vice versa. Also, make sure the screen brightness is not too low as it may be harmful for your eyes. An ideal viewing distance should be 50 to 75cm away from the screen.
4) To reduce harmful PC radiation you must decide where to place your system. It is advised not to place your computer's back overlooking someone sitting. According to studies, the computer's back releases strongest radiation while the front of the screen releases minimal radiation.
5) Get yourself a cactus
It might sound strange but this seems to work. According to reports, cactus plant has the property to absorb radiations. So putting the desert plant near your worskstation may help effectively absorb bad radiation.
6) The computer screen emit carcinogenic substances which can be extremely harmful for your health. This can be minimised by ensuring proper ventilation in the room. Also, putting a ventilated cooler/fan near your PC may help.
Also, frequently rinse your face to remove some electromagnetic radiation particles that may stick on your face while you are working on computer. Simply doing this can help you get rid of as much as 70% of radiation.
Hope the information mentioned above help the users .
