How electric fields affect the body. Basics of safe life

Fundamentals of Safe Life Activities (OBZhD)

In cases where there is no movement and the charges are motionless, constant electrostatic fields are formed, and interaction takes place between them.

Constant electrostatic fields are formed with the appearance of charges in the following cases:

1) when crushing and spraying substances;

2) for various types of deformations of solid bodies;

3) with relative movement of two solid bodies in contact;

4) due to induction;

5) with intensive mixing of layers of liquid and bulk materials;

6) in crystallization processes.

In natural, natural conditions, there are always static electric fields with a certain level of potential difference.

Electrostatic fields are also formed when a person wears upper and lower clothing made of synthetic fabrics and materials, in particular artificial fur (jackets, fur coats, sheepskin coats, caps, hats). Natural fur products also create artificial electrostatic fields.

According to medical statistics, electric fields of variable and high intensity increase the likelihood of cancer by 7 times, in addition, they contribute to a change in the structure of dental fillings with their subsequent destruction and the release of toxic substances from them. In cases where the actual levels of electric field strength exceed the permissible, safe values, in particular, electrostatic fields of more than 60 kV / m2 at workplaces, special protective equipment is mandatory.

In particular, the to protect the human body from the unwanted effects of electrostatic fields, the following measures are applied:

1) the time of work of service personnel is limited;

2) special neutralizers of static electricity are installed;

3) screening of the source of the electric field or jobs is performed;

4) grounding of metal and electrically conductive elements of equipment is carried out;

5) an increase in the surface and bulk conductivity of dielectrics is performed. The above protective measures against static electricity can achieve a reduction in the generation of electrostatic charges or their removal from the electrified material.

In addition, to reduce the magnitude of the electrostatic field directly from the human body from outerwear, special aerosol antistatic agents (in cans) are used. Outerwear, dresses, skirts, trousers are treated with these antistatic agents. Grounding of equipment, workplaces is carried out regardless of the use of other protection methods.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Plastic solar panels 08.06.2007

Scientists from the USA have brought the efficiency of plastic solar cells to 6%. Silicon solar cells are good because they convert 12% of the energy of the sunlight falling on them into electricity. However, their production is quite expensive, it cannot be said about the raw materials that it is inexhaustible, and the batteries themselves turn out to be heavy: complex supports must be built for them.

Another thing is the polymer. It is thin, light, it can be synthesized even from oil, even from vegetable raw materials. And he is able to conduct current, and turn light into electricity, if, of course, the polymer is given the correct structure. But here's the problem - the efficiency of polymer solar cells does not exceed 3%. If it were to reach at least 8%, such material could already be used not for pilot plants, but on an industrial scale.

Scientists from Wake Forest University (USA) have made another step towards plastic solar panels, having managed to double the efficiency of a polymer battery - up to 6%. The secret of success is in the light-absorbing layer: nanofibers have been added to it, and they, like veins in a leaf, perfectly redistribute the absorbed energy.
