Is the antenna transmitting radio or TV are hazardous to hea

Post Reply New Topic

I once read that people from one rural community here in Poland protested against the location of a transmitting antenna of the radio station in their village KRRiT Polish organization responsible for issuing licenses for radio or television stations (and delicate forms of censorship, even though the Polish constitution expressly prohibits censorship: D (unless it regards the promotion of Nazi or communist content)

She gave permission to build the transmitter and, allocated the station frequency. Residents protested that they do not want to live near the transmitter, because apparently can cause even cancer.

Such a small digression, I've heard that it is not health reasons were the cause of these protests, but moral. This radio station with which I write this youth radio station, which broadcasts Polish and foreign rock music and immoral conducts programs like talk show in which young poles (teens) talk about their sexual experiences, help you get in last straw was the episode in which one boy said as prolong orgasm during masturbation: D

Apparently, probably the priest persuaded the people that wrote protest to KRRiT and the Chief Inspector of nature, the transmitter creates radiological health risks for residents and wildlife, it is an open secret that was the real reason for the protest: D

But're asking me whether television and radio transmitters poses any danger, of course, beyond the demoralization of Polish teens: D

All RF energy can be dangerous to health. The actual impact varies based on who did the studies, and that doesn't mean it can't be safe for 99% of people but hazardous to that 1% with predispositions to certain ailments.

I wonder if the Brits or Americans are the agencies responsible for the transmission and reception of radio and television license (and discreet censorship) as the Polish National Broadcasting Counci KRRITl (even though the Polish constitution expressly prohibits any form of censorship (except for the promotion of or Communist content, or content which harms the children or young people (mainly pedophile content) of such a form of "artistic expression" Polish constitution does not protect. do not know how it is in the UK, but I know that the U.S. has a clear prohibition of censorship, the famous 1 Amendment, which was partly inspired by the laws of our Constitution, regarding freedom of speech and of the press, the Germans copied the constitutional restrictions on the promotion of totalitarian regimes. Germans have a ban on the promotion of Nazism, we Apart from this we added communism

Once the matter was loud as one "artist" wrote a pornographic novel, there would be nothing wrong with that, if not for the fact that one of the main characters was minor, the autor has ben hailed as a pervert, and he said that his novel is protected by the constitutions of the Republic of Poland , our right-wing politician quickly prepared law which recognizes "pornographic novels, bearing signs of pedophile acts, presenting computer-generated minors in sexual situations, as well as all similar content" (this was PR stunt no doubt about that the conservatives drop down, but it was right thing, even leftist support it, i thing that that they think that if they vote it down, they will be branded as defenders of perverts during elections by right-wings party like "PIS - Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (Law and justice) (btw the was often mocked by left and called Psiuary (pisurar - is polsih word for urinal) - Urunals by left (becuase of their aberration PIS) the case went to the Polish constitutional Court, the judges said that the welfare of children as well as good RP political foundations require every possible protection that although konsytucja not say so explicitly that MPs and senators Republic have the right and duty to protect the welfare of Polish children, and dismissed the constitutional complaint. As for me, I agree our judges of the Constitutional Court, according to me, every pervert even if he (rarely she) has not yet molested any boy or girl, should be prophylactically deprived of a possible "crime weapon": D

Returning to the topic, I wonder if Americans have some agencies responsible for the discrete "censor" content on the radio or television, similar to the sliding National Broadcasting Council KRRIT

The short answer is yes, it definitely can be. Most TV/radio broadcasting antennas are 10,000 to 100,000 watts ERP, which is absolutely a dangerous power level. However, open air is an extraordinarily bad conductor, and the power level drops precipitously, to the point where an area roughly 100 meters around the transmitter is generally safe.

Slightly off topic; wasn't it during the world war 2 when radar was first developed that it was discovered that lots of pigeons and other birds were often found dead next to the dishes of large radar installations? Basically, the radar engineers discovered microwave cooking long before such devices were commercially produced. Or is this an urban myth? Can't remember where I heard it now, it was many years ago.

It's true. Microwave ovens were called "radar ranges" for a long time when they first came out.

The main element of a microwave oven is something called a "klystron tube". It was originally used in radar. The heating effects of a klystron tube actually wasn't discovered until after the war. A researcher was doing experiments with a klystron, and he had a chocolate bar in his pocket. When he went to get the bar, it had melted. He then put an egg next to the tube, and the egg cooked from the inside out, and exploded. From there it was a direct path to the Radar Range, a brand name owned by the housewares company Amana. Microwave ovens didn't become affordable for the general public until 25 years or so after the first Radar Range.

To answer the OP's question, no there's not a centralized censorship authority in the US. The Federal Communications Commission regulates all over the air emissions, from broadcast radio and TV to amateur radio to CB radio and more. They have loose censorship standards. They usually don't get involved unless there's an egregious violation. They do NOT, however, have authority over cable and satellite TV/radio, so pretty much anything goes. The FCC is not exclusively a censor, they do all manner of regulating. www.fcc.gov

Hope this helps.

Riding a horse underneath a high voltage power line when the ground is wet can be dangerous because the horse may receive a small amount of electrical current and get spooked.

It was a radar engineer at Raytheon who discovered that the radar waves could cook food quickly. I don't think it took him very long to build one after that.

Supposedly, him or a higher up at Raytheon (I think it was the president) took an early prototype home and his family used it for years. It was far higher in power than what we use today.

The first commercially produced microwave ovens were for commercial establishments. It took quite a long time to bring the prices down enough for them to be commercially viable for home use.

If I remember correctly from what I read, the first microwave ovens were available in the mid 1950s. The first time I heard of them and saw one was when my brother bought one in the mid to late 1960s when they were quite new to the home. (At the time, he worked at an appliance store and basically got it at the store's cost.)
