Radiaiton sources in the work place:
The use of electric and electronic equipment in the workplace is more diverse and common than in our house. Industrial Electric equipment and electronic office equipment are the back bone of almost every business. The use of electric equipment gives us power to perform actions that a single man could never do before. The use of electronic equipment enable us to communicate, to control, to program, and better manage our work. To Try cover all possible sources of EMR is almost impossible so we will try to create a short list of the main possible sources.
-
EMR low frequency common sources in the workplace:
- Everything with an electric motor (power tools, heavy machinery for example)
- Air conditioners
- Electric power cabinets
- Power supplies and voltage converters
- Fans
- Computers and laptops
-
EMR High frequency common sources in the workplace:
- Wireless communication equipment, DECT and other types of cordless phones
- WiFi routers and equipment
- Radio and Tv transmiters.
- Bluetooth equipment
- Yours and others cell phones when using it , and once in a while when in stand-by mode.
How to limit the exposure?
In your work place you are limited more with the amount of control you have over the sources of radiation and with the changes you may make in your surrounding area. The same basic rule that applies with EMR sources inside your home applies in this case as well. By following some basic rules you can reduce your exposure to EMR at your workplace.
- Keep a safe distance from working electric and electronic equipment.
- Minimize the use of cordless phones, WiFi, Bluetooth and cell phones while in the office.
- Disconnect electric equipment from the power socket when not in use.
- Turn your wifi off when not using it.
