Electromagnetic pollution is caused by cables carrying electric current, radio and television transmitters emitting radio frequency waves, cell phone base stations, high voltage lines, transformers, household appliances emitting microwaves, etc. fields”. If they told you that the air is polluted in a forest full of trees, far from the city, you probably wouldn’t believe it because when air pollution is mentioned, a layer of gray cloud and smoke that burns your nose immediately comes to mind. However, there is another unseen pollutant that pollutes our air: electromagnetic waves.
In the literature it is even called “electrosmog” meaning “electronic haze”. This invisible electromagnetic pollution manifests itself sometimes by the ringing of your mobile phone, making snow on the TV, and sometimes even by dropping helicopters flying near high voltage lines. With the 20th century, man-made ones began to be added to these magnetic fields existing in nature. However, numerous studies have begun to be conducted to measure these effects. Studies have placed limitations on the magnetic fields emitted by these instruments, but the debate is not over. It is a matter of serious debate what kind of health problems will be seen in people who are exposed to long-term electromagnetic radiation, even if it is below the limit values.
The sources that will create electromagnetic field pollution are listed below:
Unnatural Sources of Electromagnetic Pollution
Underground and above ground power lines carrying electric current
TV and computers
Electrical appliances (Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, shaver, etc.)
microwave ovens
Radio and TV transmitters
Wireless communication systems
cordless phones
Cellular phone systems (GSM base stations)
Harms of Waste Batteries
Batteries cause great harm to human health and the environment. Batteries are produced from mercury, lithium, cadmium, lead, zinc, manganese, iron, nickel, cobalt and chemicals. Indiscriminate disposal of batteries, direct or indirect delivery to the customer environment creates great environmental hazards. Metals can get into the soil and then into the groundwater. The soil becomes unusable and the water pollution created by metals turns the aquatic ecosystem upside down. It is not only the aquatic ecosystem that is affected, but the entire ecosystem, in fact. During the day, these effects are also seen on the public. The main diseases caused by waste batteries are neurological disorders, central anger system diseases, cancer, kidney and liver diseases. All substances in batteries can reach lethal size over time. These substances can also pass into the human body by mixing with the soil, the food of the animals or the water. For example, a battery pen thrown into the ground pollutes 4 m2 of soil and this causes the soil to lose its properties.
