Can pregnant women use hair dryers? How much radiation does a hair dryer have

　　As one of them, hair dryers are naturally no exception. Every time you enjoy the gentle warm air after washing your hair, you may not have thought that this small appliance actually consumes a lot of electricity per second, with a power of up to 1000 watts, even higher than the working power of a giant like a refrigerator. Although the working power of a hair dryer is relatively high, it can indeed radiate strong electromagnetic fields. However, due to the low-frequency electromagnetic field emitted by hair dryers, although the radiation intensity may seem enormous, it is still lower than the intensity that can cause harm to the human body. When using a hair dryer, because the radiation source is closer to the head than other electrical appliances, the radiation consequences are much more serious than other electrical appliances, especially when turned on and off, the maximum radiation is generated. When used, the higher the power, the greater the radiation. The harm of radiation to pregnant women and fetuses is self-evident, and in severe cases, it can lead to birth defects in fetuses. Can pregnant women use hair dryers? Pregnant women using hair dryers can easily cause headaches, dizziness, and low energy. Additionally, the hot air of hair dryers contains asbestos fiber particles, which are harmful to both pregnant women and the fetus. In order to avoid birth defects caused by external environment during pregnancy, pregnant women should avoid taking X-rays, medication, hair dryers, etc. in the first three months of pregnancy. According to a survey, pregnant women who frequently use hair dryers have a more than double the incidence of fetal malformations compared to normal pregnant women.

　　Precautions: A 1000 watt regular household hair dryer has a radiation value of about 350 milligauss, while a television and computer monitor have radiation values of about 45 milligauss and 100 milligauss, respectively. Visible hair dryer radiation is relatively strong, especially when turned on and off, with the highest radiation. The position with the strongest radiation from the hair dryer is the motor at the back end. Due to its proximity to the head during use, it can easily cause dizziness and fatigue, which is detrimental to both pregnant women and the fetus. So it's best for expectant mothers not to use a hair dryer. What is the radiation level of hair dryers? The vast majority of pregnant mothers who dare not use hair dryers are worried that the radiation from hair dryers will affect fetal development. Although hair dryers are indeed high radiation household appliances, especially when turned on and off, the radiation is the highest, and the higher the power, the greater the radiation. But as long as it is operated reasonably, home hair dryers are very safe. First of all, let's take a look at the confusion that has caused everyone to see.

　　1. According to testing data, the radiation hazard of hair dryers is generally around 350mG (mG: milligrams is the unit of magnetic field intensity) for a 1000W hair dryer used in ordinary households. The area with the greatest radiation from a hair dryer is at the back end, and when we use a hair dryer, we use the air outlet to dry our hair. At a distance of 3 centimeters from the air outlet, the low-frequency radiation is 42.8mG. Further away, if the air outlet is 8-10 centimeters away from the head, which is the distance we usually blow our hair, the radiation is only 5.5mG. It should be clarified that hair dryers are household appliances that use heating wires to heat air. When current passes through the heating wire, it is converted into thermal energy, and the electromagnetic waves radiated outward belong to the infrared band, also known as infrared. Infrared radiation belongs to non ionizing radiation and cannot cause atomic ionization, cell mutation, or genetic variation in the human body.

　　2. The electromagnetic field hazards of hair dryers belong to low-frequency electromagnetic fields, which do not have the heating effect of radio frequency electromagnetic fields. The potential threat to human health mainly lies in: low-frequency electric fields and low-frequency magnetic fields can generate or induce current in the human body. If the current is large enough, it can stimulate nerves and muscles. However, to generate such stimulation, the energy of the electromagnetic field itself needs to be large enough.
