Electromagnetic contamination

The three factors of risk that show up the computers are the radiations, the static electricity and the ionization. The technical advances, they have gotten that the current screens diminished the radiations considerably. Starting from some studios carried out in Sweden, where you were observed an increment of the leukemia, brain tumors and other similar pathologies among the exposed population to more than 200 nanoteslas (NT), the normative one arose recommended so that the monitors didn't emit more than 200 NT at a distance of 30 centimeters.

The screens that appear in the market with the label of low radiation, are adjusted to this border. Although the user continues receiving a dose, you are inside what are the factor stress, but not of more serious pathologies.

This recommendation became international with the initials MPRII that guarantee a monitor of low radiations.

The static electricity is a simpler problem of solving. The conventional computers must have a good installation of taking of earth, since the user receives great quantity of static electricity that boost the body until causing nerve disorders, anxiety or irritability, arriving to even to the depression.

Several professionals in the area, sustain that the solution this in the plugs shuco (as those that are used for the appliances), with a good one taking of earth. If thieves are used, they have to be of continuity of taking of earth. The anti-static filters don't serve as anything if that good connection doesn't exist.

The printers emit radiations, but only when they are working. You are enough with which they are to a meter and half of distance so that the radiations don't reach the user. If you are arranged above the table, you suit to unplug it when you are not using.

The air has also you load electric positive and negative. The radiations make that these you descompensen with a positive ionization and the environment loses quality.

Island that was a Paradise of Pacific Destroyed

In July of 2003, when he/she was rotating a documentary on the islands western Hawaiians, Jean-Michel's team Cousteau met with a devastation show until then never imagined. On the beaches of the distant island of Laysan, to thousands of kilometers of any inhabited place, he/she expanded an endless trail of bottles, lighters and remains of computers. Although the island was absolutely deserted and in the middle of Pacific, the members of the team found objects coming from 52 countries; from toothbrushes or golf balls, until the wing of a commercial airplane.

Months later, own Jean-Michel Cousteau carried out a tour all over the world to explain the devastation of which had been witness: We are getting scared. he/she said. The threat is becoming in fact." Reasonable garbage from all over the world had arrived at the remote islands of the Polynesian after being dragged by the oceanic currents during years. Even. as same Cousteau explained. they found "objects that had not been manufactured from 1960."

It is "impressive. he/she explained - they even asked us us to sample that there was not trucado the pictures." "But this demonstrates the truth. We have kilometers of beaches like these. It is something infernal. We find televisions, computers. If there had been people living in the island you could understand it, but it was uninhabited."

Besides the heaps of garbage, during the days that remained in Laysan, the team of Cousteau found seabird cadavers for the whole island. The petty objects of plastic were creating authentic havoc among the population of birds. The adults confused the attractive objects with fish of colors and after capturing them they regurgitated them on the peaks of their breedings, raising the death toll in way escalofriante. In hardly one week, the team of Cousteau picked up hundreds of these objects, especially lighters.
