As mentioned in another of our articles<\/a><\/strong>, for more than a hundred years, people have lived under the belief that the radiation produced by electrical appliances was harmless to human beings and the planet. The only way to know the impact of all these influences is to carry out an environmental measurement of the space that is inhabited or is to be built.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this second part, non-ionising radiation will be explored in greater detail, along with a series of recommendations to reduce electromagnetic radiation in inhabited spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is radiation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Radiation it is a force of the natural energy that surrounds us. <\/strong>Radiation is everywhere: all around us, inside us, outside us, beneath our feet and above the world we live in. It is a part of our natural world that has been here since the birth of our planet and universe. Every living thing, always, has been and continues to be exposed to radiation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

How radiation can affect from artificial sources<\/em> Cheers?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is known that there is ionising and non-ionising radiation. The former, and its effects, were developed in a previous article<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name of non-ionising radiation (NIR)<\/strong> applies to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (electromagnetic spectrum drawing: section on the left starting from sunlight)<\/em> which possesses photon energies that are too weak to break atomic bonds. Even high-intensity NIR are incapable of causing ionisation in biological systems. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The non-ionising spectrum includes: ultraviolet (UV) radiation, visible solar light, infrared (IR) radiation, radio frequencies (RF) and microwaves (MW), low-frequency (LF) fields, and static electric and magnetic fields.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is well known that wireless communications are part of everyday life in modern society<\/strong>. All radiocommunication systems use electromagnetic fields (EMF) in the radiofrequency (RF) part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Because A human being is a bioelectric and conductive being (70% water); it becomes charged with electrical voltage<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sick Building Syndrome<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reacting to changes in the environment is a normal part of life. The effects of external EMF exposure on the human body and cells depend mainly on the frequency, intensity and duration of exposure. However, the body might not have adequate compensation mechanisms to mitigate all the electrical changes or environmental forces in its surroundings. Prolonged environmental exposure, <\/strong>even if it were small, it can constitute a health risk if it triggers stress in the body.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The body registers all this type of radiation as micro-stress. <\/strong>Furthermore, it must be taken into account that each environmental toxicant can have synergistic effects with others, so that they are enhanced when acting together on human beings. Faced with the same toxic exposure, people may suffer different effects, with age and gender also being a risk factor.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why WHO reported Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) in 1982<\/strong> to define \u201cthe set of discomforts caused by poor ventilation, thermal imbalance, electromagnetic loads, and airborne chemical particles and vapours circulating through the building in which we live or work.\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

What are the effects of chronic exposure to radiation?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chronic exposures to radiation can cause adverse health effects such as:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
