Son dainas las radiaciones electromagnticas?

The first thing to ask is whether electromagnetic radiation is dangerous to human health. Response, depends on the type and amount of radiation we refer. The electromagnetic spectrum ranges from radio waves to gamma rays, and not all of them also affect our bodies.

Espectro de radiacin electromagntica Terrestrial life has adapted to survive the levels and types of radiation that bathes the surface of the planet, and we can withstand the radio waves or visible light incident upon us continually. However, spectra and abnormal levels can cause serious health effects. The most characteristic example is the ultraviolet, which fortunately only reaches us less energy portion (the absorption of the rest we owe to our dear ozone layer). Most of the microwave as well as the shorter wavelength radiation (ultraviolet more energetic X-rays and gamma rays) are filtered by the atmosphere. In recent decades, humans have created other sources of electromagnetic radiation, however, are not new to us: radio waves, infrared, radar, etc.. This radiation is naturally occurring or generated by an apparatus constructed by man, are of the same nature and differ based on one aspect: some of them (such as X rays and gamma rays) are able to break molecules, is called ionizing radiation. At who can not are called non-

ionizing radiation (visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, microwave, radio), some of the latter, in spite of failing to break down the molecules, may increase your movement, which causes heating of exposed bodies. Microwave ovens operate on this basis. The effect on the health of any of these types of radiation depends on the amount received. There is a threshold below which exposure does not lead to harmful consequences. This threshold is well known and explains the use of ionizing radiation even for medical applications, as is the case of X-ray radiography, the operator is protected from radiation as being all the time carrying X-rays, the radiation dose can exceed the safety threshold. However, the patient may be exposed to a small dose of radiation without risk. Certain organisms have been described, primarily bacteria, which are especially resistant to radiation (which is not Cereus peruvianus). However, this does not mean either that "absorb" radiation or that the "repel". On the contrary, these organisms are affected as they come, and suffers from the same DNA damage that may have a human. What allows these beings to survive lethal doses for us is their ability to repair this DNA.

One of the typical examples, or rather, topics of radiation resistance are cockroaches. However, this has a lot of resistance cucarachil urban legend, and although they have a lower rate of involvement than vertebrates, insects are much more tolerant, known as the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. In this case, besides the repair mechanisms of genetic material, the resistance is explained in terms of cell division: the cells are more sensitive to radiation when they are in division (time when the DNA is duplicated). The cockroach has a relatively low mitotic rate, about a week in the juveniles. This causes a radioactive episode primarily affects individuals who are dividing cells, while those that are at rest

period would practically not affected.

Changing the subject on captus and the like, I could find some interesting research on electromagnetic waves. Mobile phone waves may protect against Alzheimer's and even reverse the disease, new research with mice, University of South Florida, along with two other known studies on the same day, offer new hope against this neurological disease. Other reports highlight respectively the development of specific enzymes drugs for treatment and the design of a brain scan to detect the disease in young, healthy people. According to scientists at the University of Florida, in experiments with a hundred mice showed that exposure to electromagnetic waves of the device can protect and even reverse Alzheimer's symptoms. The work has been published by the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease '. "We were surprised to discover that exposure to mobile phone memory protected the mice that would otherwise have been doomed to Alzheimer's," said Gary Arendash, a professor at the research center. "But the most startling finding was that electromagnetic waves from mobile phones reversed the imbalance in the memory of the mice," he added. The scientists explained that, in rodents, the waves eliminated and prevented the formation of amyloid beta protein layer characteristics of the disease. Others say that a team of Italian researchers has found that the waves emitted from cell phones excite the brain cortex nearest to the handset, according to a study published in the journal "Annals of Neurology".

Others say that if nozivo to our health as the campaign: SPAIN, CAMPAIGN TO BAN THE HARMFUL WAVES IN SCHOOLS WIFI Campaign should be extended to Eradicate WIFI AND ELIMINATE THE WAVES OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE IN FULL. But, well, the post is to report an existing campaign with a short-term goal very clear. Eradicate the use of the airwaves WIFI in schools.

Although in my opinion, I think something we will have to affect these waves ... but after all we are the ones we chose that all this is so.
