Video games have always been a thing of a novelty since the time of their inception. People irrespective of age love playing video games and are deeply invested in the gameplay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get a true sense of just how big the demand for these games is by the revenue that the gaming market generates. Each new game is awaited with bated breath and gaming companies make bank in the tune of millions of dollars from releasing games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what\u2019s not to like about video games? They provide an immersive experience with rich storytelling that allows the player to really live in that fantasy world for a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the health risks of gaming must also not be overlooked. These gaming consoles have been found to produce excessive amounts of EMF radiation<\/strong> and we must be careful to protect against it at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does a Nintendo Switch give off EMF radiation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely! There is no gaming console available in the market right now that doesn\u2019t<\/strong>. Unfortunately, these consoles are built in a way that there is no way for them to operate without giving off radiation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure there are ways to reduce the quantum of radiation (and we will take a look at some of the ways below), but that\u2019s the best we can do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nintendo Switch<\/a> gives off three distinct radiations namely EMF, RF, and microwave radiation. We will look at each one, how they\u2019re generated, and how they affect us in the sections below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EMF and the Nintendo Switch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of radiation and how it affects our bodies, it is imperative to understand that players would be exposed to some amount of EMF no matter what when they are playing on this console. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is because electronic gadgets generate EMF every minute that they run and there is just no recourse that you can take to avoid that.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it is also to be noted that these radiations are mostly very weak and do not have enough energy to cause any harm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, if you were exposed regularly then these radiations build up in your body and can create problems down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That apart, there are other radiations that we should be really worried about. The most dangerous of them all is the RF radiations that are emitted by the console. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RF stands for radio frequency and it is basically the radiation which the console uses to both connect to the internet and sync with the Joy-Cons<\/a> when they\u2019re disconnected from the console. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These radiations are high energy and can easily penetrate physical objects like walls.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to that, the Nintendo Switch also emits microwave radiation<\/a>. Microwave radiations are similar to RF radiations, only shorter in wavelength. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are decisively more harmful than your typical RF radiation and continuous exposure to it can cause significant damage to one\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microwave radiations are constantly emitted from the console box from the moment it is turned on and in an ununiformed manner so the level of radiation varies with time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are difficult to detect on EMF meters<\/a> due to their level variation and are often observed to jump between frequencies and strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What causes the exposure in Nintendo Switch?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nintendo Switch has three main components that regularly emit radiation. We must safeguard against each in order to protect ourselves and our loved ones from the risks of radiation exposure. The three main components are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
