EFFECT RADIATION MONITOR OR CELLPHONE FOR PREGNANCY
Television (TV)
Watching entertainment television for pregnant woman will not cause harm to
the baby as a result of radiation exposure. Televisions are constructed such
that radiation exposure is kept at a minimum and very low. The distance to watch
should be enough and normal (not too close), because at a distance of several
feet from the tube, radiation cannot be measured.
Computer
What about using computer for pregnancy woman? When using the computer, the
person is sitting much closer to the screen. Although no studies have revealed
increased health risks from radiation, one should be aware of the possibility
of eye strain, back problems, etc from sitting in front of the screen for long
periods. In my view, anyone working with computers, whether pregnant or not,
should take periodic breaks from the work station. About the monitor, it is
recommended to use LCD or non tube monitor to reduce the radiation.
Cell Phones / Mobile Phones
There are some data that give suggestion about types of radiation present in
cell phones could caused defects in unborn chicken embryos. The amounts of radiation
at these studies tend to be exponentially more large than the radiation put
off by a typical cell phone. Other research has shown a link between cell phone
radiation and cancer in mice. But please remember, these studies are inconclusive
as the amounts of the radiation are much greater than a person would be exposed
to.
Currently in the US cellphones and even cell towers (base station) have to
meet federal guidelines with regard to the magnitude and frequency of their
emission. The CDC has found there is no connected reason between cell phone
use and any difficulty during pregnancy. As a new grow of technology, there
are few long term studies that can support or deny any claimed risk.
We should try to be aware of manufacturing recalls and defect as with any other
products. There have been cases where cell phone batteries have combusted during
normal use. Such an occurrence is, obviously, not likely to be healthy for you
or for your unborn baby. Most physicians or doctor do not make any recommendation
about cell phone use for pregnancy woman. If you have very much concerns about
this problem, maybe you should discuss with your doctor.
