    Effect of Electromagnetic Wave

    Uploaded by

    Arvin Lagdamen
    1. Electromagnetic waves such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, and ultraviolet rays can affect both the human body and environment. Prolonged exposure to some of these radiations has been linked to health issues like skin damage, eye problems, and cancer in humans. 2. They can also impact the environment by contributing to climate change through trapping infrared radiation and reducing photosynthesis in aquatic ecosystems exposed to ultraviolet radiation. 3. It is important to take protective measures like limiting exposure and wearing protective equipment to avoid both short and long term negative health effects from these various forms of electromagnetic radiation.

    EFFECT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC

    Forms of energy that
    acts by removing Forms of low energy
    electrons from atoms radiation that does not
    and molecules of have enough energy to

    air, water, nd living an atom or molecule

    RADIO WAVE
    • HOW DO RADIO WAVE AFFECT THE HUMAN
    BODY?
    The WHO/International Agency
    for Research on Cancer (IARC)
    has classified radiofrequency
    electromagnetic fields as possibly
    carcinogenic to humans (Group
    2B), based on an increased risk
    for glioma, a malignant type of
    brain cancer, associated with
    wireless phone use.
    Exposure to very high RF intensities can result in
    heating of biological tissue and an increase in body
    temperature.

    Damaging effect to the human body by radio waves


    will result if the waves are intense enough to heat
    up the body. The extreme example is what happens
    to meat put in a microwave oven
    • HOW DOES RADIO WAVE AFFECT THE ENVIRONMENT?

    Radio waves can also


    determine wave
    heights in oceans and
    lakes, storm surge, and
    ocean currents, among
    other conditions of the
    earth system.
    • HOW DO MICROWAVE AFFECT THE HUMAN
    BODY?

    Microwaves are non-ionizing radiation,


    so they do not have the same risks as x-
    rays or other types of ionizing
    radiation. But, microwave radiation can
    heat body tissues the same way it
    heats food. Exposure to high levels of
    microwaves can cause skin burns or
    cataracts.
    • HOW DOES MICROWAVE AFFECT THE ENVIRONMENT?

    Microwaves emit 7.7 million


    tonnes of carbon dioxide
    equivalent per year. Carbon
    dioxide in the atmosphere
    warms the planet, causing
    climate change.
    INFRARED
    • HOW DO INFRARED AFFECT THE HUMAN BODY?

    Prolonged exposure to IR radiation


    causes a gradual but irreversible
    opacity of the lens.Infrared
    radiation has a longer wavelength
    and lower frequency than visible
    light. Too much exposure can
    damage your eyes and skin
    • HOW DOES INFRARED AFFECT THE ENVIRONMENT?

    Earth scientists study infrared as the


    thermal emission (or heat) from our
    planet. As incident solar radiation hits
    Earth, some of this energy is absorbed
    by the atmosphere and the surface,
    thereby warming the planet. This heat is
    emitted from Earth in the form of
    infrared radiation. On a global scale,
    trapped infrared radiation contributes
    to global warming
    • HOW DOES VISIBLE LIGHT AFFECT HUMAN?

    • Skin Damage. Blue light triggers


    free radical generation and
    poses potential harm to your
    skin. ...
    • Sleep Disruption. This is related
    to what we talked about in the
    previous section. ...
    • Eye Problems. Due to the short
    high-energy visible light
    wavelength, it is more scattered
    and less focused.
    • HOW DOES VISIBLE LIGHT AFFECT TO ENVIRONMENT?

    Visible light not only


    provides photosynthesis
    in plants; it is also
    involved in the
    regulation of many
    reactions (from
    molecular to behavioral)
    in the animal world
    SUN EMITS:
    UV-A
    UV-B
    UV-C
    • HOW DOES ULTRA VIOLET AFFECT HUMAN?

    Sunburn is a sign of short-term


    overexposure, while premature
    aging and skin cancer are side
    effects of prolonged UV
    exposure. UV exposure
    increases the risk of potentially
    blinding eye diseases if eye
    protection is not used.
    Overexposure to UV radiation
    can lead to serious health issues,
    including cancer.
    • HOW DOES ULTRAVIOLET AFFECT TO ENVIRONMENT

    One of the main biological impacts


    of UV exposure on aquatic
    ecosystems is reduction in the rate
    of photosynthesis. this can have a
    direct effect on primary productivity
    and since different species may vary
    sensitivity to UV exposure may
    eventually affect biodiversity
