300-word essay expressing your opinions and assertion on the effects of electromagnetic radiation

on living things and the environment

Electromagnetic radiation, what is it? And what is the effect of it in our environment and other
living organisms? When we say electromagnetic radiation it includes the things that you were familiar
with. Like microwaves, the tool that we used to heat up our food. Infrared lights the heat that we feel from
sunlight, a fire, a radiator or a warm sidewalk is infrared. Incandescent light bulbs, fluorescent, and neon
lights are other examples of visible light that we may see on a regular basis. X-rays the one that we know
in the hospital. Radio waves, ultraviolet lights curing inks and resins, phototherapy and sun tanning. And
gamma rays, it has both electric and magnetic fields and travels in waves.

                 As we see, things that have electromagnetic radiation give a human life a more convenient way
of living. But behind these kinds of benefits it also carries a lot of disadvantages in our life and health.
Let’s start it in our environment, too much exposure from the electromagnetic radiation can cause a cell to
die. Cells in a farm crops, vegetables, fruits and plants. Studies occasionally published on the effects of
EMF on species in the environment have generally been scattered in focus and uneven in quality.

                   But how about living things just like humans. Too much exposure from the electromagnetic
radiation can penetrate the top layer skin of a person. It gives a little damage, but as time goes by the
damage can cause skin cancer. That may develop your skin deep wrinkles, making you look a lot older
than you are actually aged. 

                     However, the sun also produces other forms of electromagnetic radiation that are invisible to
the human eye. Ultraviolet light is a type of radiation that has a higher frequency than visible light.
Electromagnetic fields, constant and variable fields are static elements of the environment. They come
from both natural and artificial sources. Depending on the type of field, its intensity, and the time of
activity, it has various effects on nature (plants and animals). Some animals use the Earth's magnetic field
for their own purposes.
