Laptops - Laptop Radiation
Expert: Mohammad Babaee - 8/29/2008
Question
I have been using my Intel MacBook Pro for about 4 months and spend a
reasonable (or unreasonable) amount of time with it on my lap. I found my
legs were getting very hot causing a pins and needles sensation . I tried to
separate the distance from my laptop and legs using pillows and books but
the numb / tingling feeling persisted. I now feel this numbness in my thigh
constantly even when not using the laptop. I am going to invest in a laptop
shielding device. I am quite concerned that laptops may become the
'asbestos' of our generation. Is anyone else experiencing the same symptoms
, have there been emr readings for these models.
Answer
Hi Jos;
First let's tell you that the name for a portable computer is laptop, me and other laptop experts and also doctors do not recommend putting your laptop on your lap because of 3 problems:
1.It effects fertility in men.
2.It makes problems like yours.
3.It makes you look down while you are working with it and this causes neck problems.
Laptop does not make any harmful radiation, but it is the heat that is harmful.
Every laptop has a cooling system which inhales cool air from the back side or sometimes form the left or right side of the Laptop and blows hot air from the bottom side.This makes a lot of heat.
You always have to put your laptop on a smooth surface, if you put it on a pillow or bed, it makes both the cooling system damaged and makes more heat.
You can buy a laptop cooler and put it on your lap and use your laptop.
The heat also make fertility problems, the reason follows:
You know, sperm are produced in the testicles, which are in the scrotum. Because the scrotum is located outside of the body, it's vulnerable to external heat.Researches have shown that an increase in scrotal temperature may decrease sperm production.A research has shown if you put your laptop on you laps for an hour, your testicle's temperature will rise around 2.7 degrees Celsius, so it may has effects on sperm production for young men who are trying to get pregnant.
