与任何基于无线电信号的电子设备一样,笔记本电脑也会发出有害的电磁频率 ( EMF ) 波,这可能对用户造成危险。笔记本电脑的另一个危险是我们在使用它时吸收的热量。值得庆幸的是,有一些解决方案可以在使用笔记本电脑时减少笔记本电脑辐射(laptop radiation)和笔记本电脑热量(laptop heat)的影响。我们将在本文中讨论这些方法。
笔记本电脑会释放辐射吗?
我的回答无疑是“否”。但由于大多数笔记本电脑(可能包括您的笔记本电脑)都连接到Wi-Fi以上网(Internet),所以它们很危险……就像Wi-Fi 一样危险(Wi-Fi can be dangerous)。笔记本电脑本身不会产生任何可能有问题的磁场。除非(Unless)连接到Wi-Fi,否则笔记本电脑的唯一问题是发热,只要不将笔记本电脑放在膝盖上就可以了。您可以将它放在桌子上,使用吸热垫或其他东西来避免热量。互联网(Internet)上有一些垫子可以吸收可能的辐射和热量。
我见过很多人使用枕头作为吸收垫。也就是说,他们将枕头放在膝盖上,然后将笔记本电脑放在枕头上。更危险的是,热量会被困在笔记本电脑内,并在您打字或使用触摸板时通过手腕和手进入您的身体。将笔记本电脑放在床上也不是一个好主意。就像把它放在枕头上一样。互联网(Internet)上有笔记本电脑桌,拥有一张可以适当地通风并散发热量和辐射。您也可以在亚马逊上购买它们。(Amazon.)
笔记本电脑的EMF辐射与手机、微波炉和无线电流设备的 EMF 辐射相同。当您连接到无线互联网(Internet)(如路由器Wi-Fi )时也是如此。我不能说提供互联网的(Internet)USB 加密狗是否会带来任何危险,因为我在(USB Dongles)互联网(Internet)上找不到太多相关信息。但他们可能——因为他们在手机线路上工作。
众所周知,长时间的大量电磁辐射(Radiation)( EMR ) 暴露会导致疲劳、头晕、头痛、呼吸困难、失眠等。一些报告表明,这种长时间的高水平暴露还会导致生育问题以及细胞和DNA损伤。但也有人说,这样的报道没有定论。尽管如此,采取预防措施也没有坏处。
如何保护自己免受笔记本电脑辐射(Laptop Radiation)
这部分讨论了您可以做的两件事来减少笔记本电脑的辐射。保护自己的第一件事是尽量减少Wi-Fi 的(Wi-Fi)使用,如果可能,切换到有线连接。第二件事是使用笔记本电脑底座护罩。有许多设计可供选择,因此您可以选择一种让您在工作时保持舒适的设计。
如上一节所述,笔记本电脑仅在连接到无线互联网(Internet)(如Wi-Fi )时才会发出辐射。因此,最好的选择是在不需要时关闭Wi-Fi 。或者,您可以使用以太网(Ethernet)电缆连接到Internet 。只需检查您的笔记本电脑是否有以太网(Ethernet)端口。他们中的大多数人都有一个。
假设您每天都在同一个地方工作,如果您使用以太网(Ethernet)连接并从笔记本电脑或路由器本身关闭Wi-Fi ,会更安全。(Wi-Fi)以太网(Ethernet)电缆并不昂贵,您可以在当地的电子插座轻松获得它们。您只需测量所需电缆的长度,即可将其连接到路由器和笔记本电脑。
但是,由于许多因素,例如您不能坐在一个地方工作,以及如果您在卧室工作但在与客户或朋友会面时仍需要将笔记本电脑移到客厅,这可能并不总是可行。在后一种情况下,您可以在工作房间使用LAN电缆,在客厅使用Wi-Fi。只是(Just)一个想法……
我们在这篇文章的第一部分中谈到的其中一件事情是笔记本电脑底座,它可以吸收笔记本电脑的热量和辐射。实际上,您无需将笔记本电脑直接放在自己身上,而是将其放在膝上的笔记本电脑底座(Laptop Base)上。因此,将有害辐射减少到几乎中性。大多数这些笔记本电脑底座的售价都低于 100 美元。有些可能更昂贵,但这取决于品牌和基地的其他功能。
充电时不要使用笔记本电脑。就像手机一样,笔记本电脑在充电时也会发出最大的辐射。如果您要使用WiFi 互联网(WiFi Internet),最好拔掉插头然后再使用它们。
如果您不使用任何无线连接,则不必担心如何保护自己免受笔记本电脑辐射。好吧,至少如果您的邻居没有使用强大的WiFi。

How to protect yourself from Laptop radiation
As wіth any radiо sіgnal based electronic devices, laptops too emit harmful electromagnetiс frеquency (EMF) waves that can be dangerouѕ to users. Another danger from laptops is the amount of heаt we absorb while working on it. Thankfully, there are solutions for reducіng the effects of both laptop radiation and laptop heat while working on a laptop. We’ll discuss these methods in this article.
Do Laptops give away Radiation?
The answer from me would be an undoubtedly NO. But since most laptops, probably including yours, are connected to Wi-Fi for the Internet, they are dangerous… as much as Wi-Fi can be dangerous. A laptop by itself does not create any probable problematic magnetic field. Unless connected to Wi-Fi, the only issue from the laptop is the heat, and you are good as long as you don’t place the laptop on your lap. You can put it on a table, use a heat-absorption pad, or something else to avoid the heat. There are pads available on the Internet that absorb probable radiation and heat both.
I have seen many people using a pillow as an absorption pad. That is, they place a pillow on their lap and then put their laptop on the pillow. It is even more dangerous as the heat will be trapped inside the laptop and will enter your body through your wrists and hands as you type or use the touchpad. Neither is keeping the laptop on the bed, a good idea. It is same as keeping it on a pillow. There are laptop tables available on the Internet and having one will allow proper ventilation and dispersion of heat and radiation. You can also buy them on Amazon.
The EMF radiation from laptops is the same as that of cell phones, microwaves, and radio streaming devices. That too when you are connected to a wireless Internet such as router Wi-Fi. I can’t say if USB Dongles providing Internet can be any danger as I couldn’t find much about that on the Internet. But they might – because they work on the lines of cell phones.
Prolonged high amounts of Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) exposure, are known to cause fatigue, dizziness, headaches, breathlessness, insomnia, etc. Some reports suggest that such prolonged high-level exposure can also cause fertility problems as well as cell and DNA damage. But others say that such reports are inconclusive. Nevertheless, there is no harm in taking precautions.
How to protect yourself from Laptop Radiation
This part talks of two things you can do to reduce laptop radiation. The first thing to protect yourself is to keep Wi-Fi usage to a minimum and if possible, switch to wired connections. The second thing is to use a laptop base shield. There are many designs available so you can pick one that you keeps you comfortable while working.
As suggested in the previous section, laptops emit radiation only when connected to wireless Internet, such as Wi-Fi. So the best option would be to turn off the Wi-Fi when you don’t need it. Alternatively, you can hook up to the Internet using an Ethernet cable. Just check out if your laptop has an Ethernet port. Most of them have one.
Assuming that you work from the same place every day, it would be much safer if you use an Ethernet connection and turn off Wi-Fi from either the laptop or from the router itself. Ethernet cables are not expensive, and you can easily get them at your local electronic outlets. You just have to measure the length of the cable you need so that it can be connected to router and laptop.
However, this may not always be feasible due to many factors such as you can’t work sitting at one place and if you work in your bedroom but still need to move the laptop to the living room when meeting clients or friends. In the latter case, you can use LAN cable in the room you work and Wi-Fi in the living room. Just an idea…
One of the things we were talking in the first section of this post was a laptop base that would absorb both heat and radiation from laptops. Practically, instead of placing laptop directly on yourself, you keep it on a Laptop Base that rests on your lap. Thus, reducing the harmful radiations to almost neutral. Most of these laptop bases are available under $100. Some may be costlier, but that depends on the brand and other features in the base.
Do not use laptops when charging them. Just like cell phones, laptops too emit maximum radiation when charging. It is always better to unplug and then use them if you are going to use WiFi Internet.
If you are not using any wireless connection, you need not worry about how to protect yourself from laptop radiation. Well, at least if your neighbors aren’t using strong WiFi.
