Can the radiation of small solar electric heating lead to miscarriage of pregnant women?

When winter comes, regardless of whether there is heating at home or not, families who don't feel warm enough generally use electric heaters to keep warm.

However, families with pregnant women at home are a little scared: the power of the small sun is not small, and the light emitted is so strong, will there be radiation? Is there any adverse effect on pregnant women and fetuses?

In order to find out whether the "little sun" is radiation or harmful to human body, we must first find out what it is and what the principle of fever is.

"Little Sun" heater uses resistance wire to generate a certain amount of infrared radiation, and uses its reflector to directionally reflect infrared (heat) for heating.

It may be scary to hear the word "radiation", but it is actually a misunderstanding.

solar spectrum

All the electromagnetic wave bands in the figure are called "radiation", but if you want to do harm to human body, one depends on whether the energy of the radiation itself is high enough and the other depends on whether the dose of the radiation is large enough.

In the solar spectrum in the picture, the energy radiated from left to right is getting smaller and smaller. Therefore, when we go to the hospital to take X-rays, we should take good protection only when we are irradiated, but it is also possible to bask in the sun every day (the atmosphere filters out most of the high-energy rays in the sun).

Please ignore the brand of Little Sun. ...

So is the little sun. Ordinary "Little Sun" radiates infrared rays with the main wave band of 2.5 ~ 15μ m, and the energy of this beam is very low, so there is no danger in heating within a normal distance. But if the dose is large enough, it will also cause harm to the human body-burns. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine should not be too close in the process of use.

In addition, although the infrared energy is low, it will not cause cancer and other diseases like high-energy radiation, but long-term exposure to infrared light will cause damage to the lens of the eye, leading to lens opacity. It may also damage the fundus, from congestion to cystoid edema in macular area, and even make the optic nerve over-oxidized, leading to decreased vision.

So we should remember to keep warm when we are warm, but don't stare at the little sun all the time.

Therefore, it is not recommended for families with young children to buy "little sun". First, they are afraid that their children will be burned accidentally. Second, adults can't control where their eyes look.

As for pregnant women who are not pregnant, as long as they are used normally, there is no danger, let alone abortion.

Finally, Tadpole Jun kindly reminded everyone that when buying electric heaters, it is best to buy products from regular manufacturers to avoid the danger of leakage due to unqualified products.

Truth: Normal use of "Little Sun" electric heater is harmless to human body.
