Elaboración de una guía de prevención frente la contaminación electromagnética no ionizante para los Centros de Educación Inicial en Riobamba.

Abstract

The with purpose elaborating a guide of prevention al Electromagnetic Non Ionizing contamination for Initial Education Centers at Riobamba city, with a view the increase knowledge on risks that can produce exposure the different heat radiation, activities and measures are included to reduce the effects exposure to electromagnetic fields. They were identified the bulbs of pollution electromagnetic in different areas at 4 children´s centers like: San Mateo Private Primary Education Center, Polytechnic Garden, Retoñitos Infant Center and Alfredo Costales Initial Education Center; then, electric fields were measured in V/m (Volts per meter) and magnetic fields in microteslas (µT), by means of Gm3120 and DT-1130 radiation etectors, at three distances of 5, 30 and 60cm from source. The results were collected through structured observation through an inventory; through analysis data were identified prevention measures and activities included in guide. The results show that sources with the highest radiation level were: microwave 18.6 µT, computer and port computer 16.4 µT, wireless telephone 11.82 µT, wireless router 15.27 µT, television 19.23 µT, sound equipment and recorder 16.77 µT. all measure levels are above threshold of 0.3 µT prevention, based on scientific evidence whose exposure has a proven relationship with cancer and leukemia, nervous system diseases, cardiovascular disorders and other effects, so it is necessary to raise awareness to the population and put into practice the principle prevention.
