Bilgisayar kullanıcılarında elektromanyetik ışımaların insan sağlığına etkisinin incelenmesi

Sürekli bilgisayar kullanıcılarının en sık şikayetleri bel ve sırt tutulmaları ile el ve kol eklemlerinde ağrılar ve baş ağrılarıdır. Bu araştırmada bilgisayar görüntü birimlerinden (VDU;Visual Display Unit, VDU) yayılan Elektromanyetik Işımaların vücudun en hassas uzvu olan gözler üzerindeki Sağlık riski araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla 200 deneklik bir örneklem hacminden elde edilen bilgiler istatistiki olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca alınabilecek önlemler üzerinde önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

The investigation of the effects of electromagnetic wave radiations on human health on computer users

Back and ridge aches as well as hand and arm's joint aches along with headache are the most serious complaints of frequent computer users. In this research, Electro Magnetic Resonans spread by the Units of Computer Display's (VDU) health risks on eye - the most sensitive part of human body - are studied. The data aquired from a sample of 200 people has been statistically evaluated to show this effect. Finally, some suggestions about precautionary measures have been made.
