Can cactus protect against radiation?

With the advancement of technology, more and more electronic products have appeared in our lives. However, people have begun to worry about their health, so they are thinking of ways to reduce some radiation in their lives. Many people believe that cactus has the effect of preventing radiation, so many people will buy cactus and place it next to their computer. So can cactus prevent radiation? This is what everyone wants to know.

Cactus is a plant that is relatively resistant to drought and high temperatures and can only grow in some desert areas. Some people think that since cacti can survive in the desert under strong ultraviolet rays, they believe that they are radiation proof. In fact, this idea is wrong.

Cactus likes sunshine, so it can survive in the desert for a long time. Due to the strong sunlight, in order to prevent excessive transpiration, a large area of ​​its leaves have evolved into needles. Because it grows in a harsh environment, it absorbs the sun's ultraviolet rays. Therefore, people mistakenly believe that cactus has the function of protecting against radiation. There is currently no report to prove that cactus has anti-radiation properties. Cactus has a strong resistance to ultraviolet rays in sunlight, but the radiation emitted by computer screens is radio wave radiation, and its radiation propagates in a straight line. Sunlight radiates light radiation, so compared with ultraviolet rays, there is an essential difference between the two. Just because cacti can absorb ultraviolet rays does not necessarily mean they can absorb electromagnetic radiation waves. Therefore, it is conceivable that even if the cactus has the function of anti-radiation, it will not have a very obvious effect.

Methods of radiation protection in daily life

1. When using a computer, you should maintain the most appropriate sitting posture, with the distance between your eyes and the monitor about 50 cm, and your eyes looking straight ahead or slightly downward at the monitor. Pay attention to rest and adjustment, and avoid operating the computer for long periods of time.

2. Maintain a good working environment at home or in the office, with appropriate temperature, clean air, and appropriate anion and ozone concentrations.

3. The lighting in the computer room should be appropriate, not too bright or too dark, to avoid direct light onto the fluorescent screen and produce interfering light. The studio should be kept ventilated and dry.

4. Use color filters on the computer screen to reduce eyestrain. It is best to use glass or high-quality plastic filters.

5. Install protective devices to weaken the intensity of electromagnetic radiation. Protective devices generally include anti-radiation film, protective mirrors, computer radiation eliminators, etc.

The question of whether cactus can protect against radiation has been explained above. I hope you can understand more after reading it. There is no experiment to prove that cactus can protect against radiation, but if you want to seek psychological comfort, you can do so. But the best way to protect against radiation is to use electronic products as little as possible.
