\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve written extensively on the dangers posed by EMF radiation from computers and just how harmful they can be to our health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, today I want to focus on comparing what machine emits out the most radiation \u2013 PCs or Macs. If you looked at what computer options people choose to use nowadays, it\u2019s mostly laptops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, laptops come with their unique challenges and risks since all of the radiating components are so tightly packed together as opposed to yesteryear desktops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus it becomes critical to find out which machine generates the least radiation so that we can make an informed decision before making our next computer purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Computer radiation \u2013 should I be worried?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

If you are new here or don\u2019t know too much about radiation in general, I would invite you to take a moment and go through some of the other articles written here to really get a grasp of the dangers of EMF radiation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, computers generate a massive amount of radiation which is typically magnetic and radio in nature, exposing to which can cause all sorts of health problems. Some of the common ones include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

1 Tiredness:<\/strong> Perhaps the most common one is tiredness or the feeling of fatigue wherein despite having a full night\u2019s sleep, you feel low on energy and the feeling persists all day long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

2 Sleep issues:<\/strong> This too is exceedingly common among people who use their phones a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more and more people choosing to sleep with their cellphones by their side, bedrooms have now become hotbeds of EMF radiation which directly affect sleep<\/a> quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have in fact written a whole article about how to make your bedroom EMF free which I urge you to check out if you too have sleep issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

3 Brain fog:<\/strong> This is a sensation wherein you have trouble recollecting names, places, etc. from memory. Unfortunately, this too is becoming increasingly common. Other side effects of this include a lack of concentration, spacing out randomly, and slow memory decline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a serious debate going on in the scientific community to find out if this is a sign of early-onset Alzheimer\u2019s. A recent study done by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University predicts that the total number of people suffering from this disease will triple by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

4 Chest pain and palpitations:<\/strong> This is common in people who exhibit electro-hypersensitivity. This is brought about by restricting blood flow to the heart, causing a sensation of racing or fluttering heartbeat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not deadly but can certainly contribute to degrading your heart performance if not corrected within reasonable timeframes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

5 Skin reactions:<\/strong> Some people also react with irritations to the skin like unnatural redness, tingling of the skin, or a sudden outbreak of rashes<\/a>. It\u2019s quite common in people who are in front of computers for long stretches of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

That aside, increased exposure to EMF can lead to all sorts of long term health risks including contracting some really serious chronic diseases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chances of contracting diseases like diabetes and heart ailments go up significantly and there is a real chance you\u2019d be increasing your risks of contracting cancer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

EMF is cumulative meaning it builds inside of us and as we surround ourselves more and more with these fancy gadgets that are essentially cesspools of radiation, we put ourselves in grave health risks without fully comprehending the gravity of it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I have written an article called Best EMF Radiation Protection For Laptops<\/a>. It has all the information you need for protecting you and your family I recommend you take a look.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Computer radiation sources<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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

We actually need to consider a few things when we talk about radiation, irrespective of whether it is a Mac or a PC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing to keep in mind is that we are getting exposed to a wide-ranging radiation spectrum including magnetic radiation from the screens and logic board to radiofrequency from the wireless peripherals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these components sitting so close to each other and us sitting dangerously close to all of them, we are getting the worst deal possible! In the next section, we break down just how much radiation each of these components generates for a Mac versus a PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Magnetic radiation behavior<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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

Let\u2019s first look at magnetic radiation between the Mac and PC. For magnetic radiation, the bulk of it is generated from the monitor and logic board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to know just how dangerous magnetic radiation<\/a> is, the EPA recommends we limit our magnetic radiation exposure between 0.5 mG to 2.5 mG. Our standard radiation from monitors with respect to distance is given below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
