It is widely rumored that cactus can reduce computer radiation. It is said that cactus lives in a place with strong sunlight, so its ability to absorb radiation is particularly good. I also bought a pot of cactus and placed it in front of my computer, but I have doubts about its ability to absorb radiation. Does anyone know if this is true? Horticultural experts who study plants said that there have been no research and experimental reports that prove that cacti have better ability to absorb radiation than other species. All animals, plants and the human body have the natural ability to absorb radiation, but currently there is no research to prove that a certain species has a particularly strong ability to absorb radiation. Cacti grow in deserts with strong sunlight and can withstand a certain amount of sunlight and ultraviolet rays. However, the radiation produced in sunlight is different from the radiation produced by computer screens or other electrical appliances. Radiation is an invisible wave that has the ability to penetrate any living organism and can damage the DNA of cells and cause serious mutations; while sunlight is a type of radiant energy that generates heat just like candlelight and does not cause any harmful effects. Immediate damage to the human body. The author of the rumor may have mistaken radiant energy for radiation. Therefore, placing a pot of cactus next to the computer can absorb radiation and reduce harm to the body. This is a "taken for granted" inference. It may also be a marketing ploy by the merchant and has no scientific basis. Besides, there is no conclusion as to whether computer radiation affects the human body or how harmful it is. Students and office workers who often use computers put pots of cactus on their desktops to relieve eye fatigue. However, if you want to reduce the harm of radiation to the human body, you should drink more green tea. The active substances such as tea polyphenols in green tea are good for resisting the effects of radiation. radioactive material.
