Pay attention to the electromagnetic field: Children are the most affected, it can lead to cancer! High-voltage lines around parks, playgrounds, and even the house we live in, which are indispensable for children, are dangerous. Electronic technology lecturer Nevzat Yağız Tombal, who said that the electromagnetic field formed here triggers many diseases, especially cancer, said, “There are problems such as retardation in brain functions or slowing of some functions. In the near term, it is known to cause perception disorders, anxiety and stress.” Green areas where you can visit as a family, parks where children are not tired of going, your home or the location of your workplace may endanger your health. The crackling sweaters and goose bumps of children while playing in the park can be the harbinger of some dangers. Istanbul Gelişim University Electronic Technology Instructor Nevzat Yağız Tombal emphasized that these areas are important for the socialization of children and gave advice to parents against dangers. Tombal said: “Static electricity, which is generally caused by the material, can cause this. Another is the high voltage lines unfortunately located in some parks and gardens, very close to settlements. These two factors pose an important danger to our children. There are many researches that places with electromagnetic fields can be harmful to human health. We know that there are bigger problems especially for children.” You can visit www.gelisim.edu.tr to see the detailed news.
