The harm of laser radiation to pregnant women

Pregnant mothers must pay special attention to radiation during pregnancy. When they arrive at the hospital, they will find large signs saying "Pregnant women are not allowed" at the doors of the ultrasound, CT, and MRI rooms. Long-term radiation can cause unhealthy development or even deformity of the fetus. However, laser radiation is very harmful to the human body and is not as strong as the radiation from mobile phones and computers, so there is no need to worry too much, just be a little careful. This article introduces the precautions for pregnant women to protect against radiation. Let’s take a look.

Does laser have radiation to pregnant women?

The radiation that pregnant women need to avoid mainly refers to particle radiation (such as radioactive substances, X-rays) and electromagnetic radiation (such as mobile phones, electrical appliances). The laser itself does not have much radioactivity, but laser equipment has certain electromagnetic radiation. However, overall the amount is very small and there is no problem. It is more meaningful to protect against radiation by playing less on the computer and mobile phone.

Precautions for radiation protection during pregnancy

1. Ensure good ventilation and avoid crowding electrical appliances

In densely packed office buildings and poorly ventilated environments, the potential threat of radiation is exacerbated, which can have adverse effects on the development of the fetus. Expectant mothers should get up and go to the window to get some fresh air every 1-2 hours of work.

2. Reduce exposure to radiation during early pregnancy

There is currently insufficient evidence to prove that computer radiation has an impact on fetal development, but for safety reasons, it is recommended to minimize exposure to electrical appliances that emit electromagnetic radiation during early pregnancy.

3. Don’t over-rely on radiation protection tools

Anti-radiation products only have auxiliary effects and are not omnipotent. The fundamental prevention requires expectant mothers to pay attention to them in their daily lives. Expectant mothers should not rely too much on radiation protection tools!

How to protect pregnant women from radiation

Electrical protection measures are as follows:

1. When using various electrical appliances, a certain safe distance should be maintained. When using a microwave oven, it is best to stay at least 1 meter away; the distance from the TV should be 4 to 5 meters; the distance from the light tube should be about 2 to 3 meters; pregnant women should not hold the hair dryer close to their heads.

2. Don’t place household appliances too close together. In particular, electrical appliances with strong radiation, such as televisions, computers, and refrigerators, should not be placed in a pregnant woman's bedroom.

3. Shorten the time of using electrical appliances. For example, try to shorten the time you spend watching TV, playing on the computer, or using your mobile phone. This will help reduce the harm of radiation.

4. Pregnant women are advised to use anti-radiation products such as anti-radiation clothing, anti-radiation TV screens, anti-radiation curtains, etc. that are of qualified quality and have relevant test certificates.

Planting plants to protect against radiation:

In addition to wearing anti-radiation clothing, pregnant mothers who often use computers can also place some anti-radiation plants on the desk. Common anti-radiation plants include the following.

1. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is a perennial evergreen plant with fleshy and thick leaves. Aloe vera gel can prevent the harm of ultraviolet radiation to the immune system, restore damaged immune function, heal sunburn, and prevent the formation of skin cancer.

2. Cacti and prickly pear

Cacti and prickly pear are common radiation-proof plants and are very easy to grow. The thorny bodies of cacti are thick and contain a lot of water, which can easily absorb and dissolve the radiation of the surrounding electromagnetic fields and help reduce indoor air pollution.

3. Pothos

Green ivy is a plant with tenacious vitality. It also has super air purification ability. Through a process similar to photosynthesis, it can decompose toxic substances released from fabrics, walls and smoke into the plant's own substances.
