Every day a person is under the influence of infrared radiation and the sun acts as its natural source. Incandescent elements are already related to unnatural derivatives. Such radiation can be used in heating systems, remotes to the TV, heaters. It is for this reason that you need to know when the benefits are brought, and when you can harm infrared radiation.
What is the use of infrared radiation?
Devices that have this type of radiation can affect the body in two ways. The first option is characterized by a strengthening property. Radiation enhances protective functions and can prevent early aging. This method helps to combat various ailments, strengthening the body's natural defense against disease. This is a form of therapy based on maintaining health. This method can be used not only in medical institutions, but also at home.
The second method is to directly cure diseases and general ailments. Radiation is characterized by a therapeutic property. Waves have the ability to penetrate deep into the body, warming the bone tissue and dermis. Such effects contribute to normalizing blood circulation, speeding up the flow of fluids in the body.
Established blood circulation has a good effect on metabolic processes. Tissues get the right amount of oxygen, and the muscle system gets nourished. Many diseases can be overcome through exposure to radiation that penetrates deep into the skin. Thanks to the waves, you can get rid of such diseases and pathological conditions:
• high or low pressure;
• back pain;
• excessive body weight;
• diseases of the cardiovascular system;
• stress and depression;
• changes in the digestive tract;
• neuralgia, arthritis, rheumatism;
• pneumonia, asthma, bronchitis;
• exhaustion, weakness;
• diseases of the skin;
• pain in the muscles and lower back;
• insomnia and other sleep problems;
• inflammation of the joints;
• cystitis and prostatitis in acute form;
• viral and colds;
• cholecystitis without stones.
A good effect is based on the fact that when a wave hits the dermis, it acts on the nerve endings and a sensation of warmth appears. Radiation stimulates blood circulation, normalizing blood pressure and metabolism. When brain tissue receives enough oxygen, the risk of dizziness is reduced. The memory is also strengthened.
The benefits of infrared radiation: applications
Infrared energy can be used in various fields and at the same time it has a positive effect on the human body. The fields of application are as follows:
1. Thermography. Using these rays, you can determine the temperature of objects that are located at a distance. Basically, such waves are used in industrial and military fields. Heated devices can be seen using such a device without lighting.
2. Heating. IR contribute to an increase in temperature, which has a good effect on the human body. In addition to infrared saunas, they can also be used for welding in the medical field.
3. Tracking. This method of using IR consists in passive guidance of missiles. It helps missiles find the right direction of flight.
4. Meteorology. IRs help satellites determine the distance the clouds are located. Rays also determine their type and temperature. Warm clouds are visible as gray, while cold clouds are white. All information without problems can be studied at any time of the day.
5. Astronomy. Astronomers have unique devices called infrared telescopes. Such devices help to observe various bodies in the sky. Thanks to devices, scientists can find protostars. Such a telescope can easily detect cold objects. The device is also used to observe the nuclei of galaxies, which are covered by dust, gases and other particles.
6. Art. Reflectograms help art critics examine in detail the outline of the artist and the lower layers of the subject. This method helps to compare the drawings and its visible part to determine the authenticity of the picture.
These are just the main ways to use IR.
The harm of infrared radiation: when are rays dangerous?
When using infrared rays, remember that harm may be caused. Infrared radiation is contraindicated in certain diseases and pathologies. Radiation harm can be in such cases:
• epilepsy;
• heart or pulmonary failure;
• acute inflammatory processes;
• malignant tumors;
• diseases of the circulatory system;
• chronic or acute form of purulent processes.
Excessive exposure to radiation increases the risk of photophobia. Strong exposure to rays leads to redness of the skin and the appearance of burns. Very often, workers in the metallurgy industry experience a progression of heat stroke. The smaller the distance from the device emitting infrared, the less time a person should spend near him. When the brain tissue overheats, symptoms such as darkness in the eyes, nausea, dizziness, tachycardia appear. There is also a risk of progression of meningitis.
The harm of infrared radiation: how to protect yourself from infrared and first aid for exposure
If there is an effect on the brain tissue, then a person has sunstroke. A person begins to have a severe headache, darkens in his eyes, dizziness appears, and loss of consciousness is also possible. If radiation is continued, symptoms of encephalitis will occur. It is dangerous for the body.
Exposure standards have been developed that help protect a person. The measures are as follows:
1. Reduce exposure and temperature.
2. The thermal state of a person should be maintained in a normal state. Be sure to protect the eyes and dermis of a person.
3. New equipment should be used, and production should be constantly automated.
4. Devices should be placed indoors so as to reduce exposure to infrared rays.
5. Employees of the organization should spend as little time as possible in a heating environment. For protection, special screens are placed.
6. If there is no special equipment, then special cooling screens are installed. Means that increase the speed of air movement can also be used.
7. Employees are given special clothing that can protect certain areas of the body.
8. It is important to devote time to preventive measures. These include regular physical examinations, a healthy regimen of the day.
If a person's health has worsened, then an ambulance must be called. Before the ambulance arrives, you must perform the following actions:
1. Move victim to a cool place.
2. Remove clothing that fits snugly on the skin.
3. Put valedol under the tongue.
4. Give drink salted water.
5. Cool the body by wetting it with a wet rag. Put a wet towel on your head.
This is emergency assistance, which must be provided before the ambulance arrives.
