Does Wi-Fi radiation affect fertility? It’s time to tell the truth

There have been various rumours about Wi-Fi radiation that have been circulating widely and are highly toxic. Now, PCSofter.COM has created a little science fiction to dispel five rumours about Wi-Fi radiation in a clear, simple and understandable way. This is the kind of thing that needs to be forwarded more often.

The first point to emphasize is that radiation is divided into two types: ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation (electromagnetic radiation), of which the former is radiation consisting of direct or indirect ionizing particles or a mixture of the two, which is usually harmful to the body, such as nuclear radiation.

Radiation from Wi-Fi, computers, mobile phones, routers, microwave ovens, etc. is of the latter type, which is lower in energy and does not cause ionising radiation from atoms or molecules of matter, and is usually harmless to the body.

1. Do I have to turn off my Wi-Fi at night?

Wi-Fi routers are always on and do not emit harmful radiation.

Of course, if you want to save electricity or avoid playing with your mobile phone at night, you can consider turning off Wi-Fi.

2. Can Wi-Fi affect fertility?

Many parents who are expecting children are afraid of Wi-Fi and believe it will affect their fertility.

There is no scientific evidence to prove that Wi-Fi affects fertility, and it is better to stop smoking and drinking and exercise to have a healthy baby.

3. Does Wi-Fi affect foetal development?

Wi-Fi does not cause miscarriages or foetal abnormalities in pregnant women and can be used with confidence, but of course expectant mothers should play with their phones in moderation.

4. Can cacti absorb radiation?

I think a lot of people have heard that putting a cactus in your home, especially next to your computer, can absorb radiation.

There is no scientific basis for this, even if the cactus can absorb radiation, radiation is also scattered in all directions, a small pot of cactus can absorb how much?

However, having a few green plants around the house to decorate may help to reduce eye strain.

5. Washing your face can remove radiation?

Washing to prevent radiation refers to the reaction to ionising radiation after a nuclear explosion, such as a nuclear leak, because nuclear contamination dust falls on the surface of human skin and causes damage.

But Wi-Fi radiation is not contaminated with radioactive dust and will not fall on your face, so there is no point in washing your face.

Of course, you can wash your face after using the computer for a long time to refresh yourself.
