1. What is radiation?
Radiation refers to energy propagating in space, including electromagnetic radiation and particle radiation. Electromagnetic radiation refers to fluctuations caused by alternating electric and magnetic fields, such as sunlight, TV signals, mobile phone signals, etc. Particle radiation refers to charged particles released by radioactive substances, such as alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, etc.
2. Do pregnant women need radiation protection?
Pregnant women need radiation protection. Because the fetus in a pregnant woman\’s body is more sensitive to radiation than an adult and is easily harmed. Moreover, the popularity of various electrical equipment and wireless communication technologies in modern society has exposed people to varying degrees of radiation environments every day.
3. How to reduce pregnant women’s exposure to electromagnetic radiation?
1. Avoid using mobile phones and computers for long periods of time. If you need to use it, reduce the time you use it and keep your distance.
2. Avoid staying or living under high voltage lines. The electromagnetic field near high-voltage lines is very strong and can easily affect the body.
3. Don’t linger near the microwave. The electromagnetic radiation produced by microwave ovens can have an impact on the human body, and is especially dangerous to pregnant women and fetuses.
4. Avoid using electrical appliances such as electric blankets and electric hot water bottles. These electrical appliances will produce strong electromagnetic radiation when working.
4. How to reduce pregnant women’s exposure to particle radiation?
1. Avoid contact with items containing radioactive substances, such as nuclear waste, radioactive drugs, etc.
2. Avoid traveling or working in radioactive contaminated areas.
3. Avoid receiving too many medical examinations, such as CT, X-ray, etc.
5. Other radiation protection measures
1. Use radiation protection clothing or patches. These products can effectively reduce the amount of radiation your body is exposed to.
2. Increase time for outdoor activities. Negative ions in the outdoor air can help reduce radiation damage to the body.
3. Keep a happy mood and reduce stress. High levels of stress can cause endocrine disorders, making the body more susceptible to radiation damage.
In short, pregnant women need to pay attention to preventing various types of radiation to protect themselves and the health of their fetus. In our daily lives, we can take some steps to reduce the amount of radiation our bodies are exposed to. At the same time, you must also maintain a good attitude and avoid excessive anxiety and tension.
