Whether airport security gates and metal detectors have an impact on the human body

Jinan citizen Ms. Zhang often travels for work reasons. Recently she found out she was pregnant, worried about the radiation at the airport security gate, hoping to open a green passage. In this regard, professionals said that the radiation at the security gate is actually very small, and the airport staff said that pregnant women can request manual manual examination if they are not at ease.

As the Spring Festival approaches, more and more people embark on the journey home, and more people have the same concerns as Ms. Zhang. Ms. You, a citizen of 14 weeks pregnant, was also caught in this tangle. In this regard, Mr. Bie, who specializes in the operation of security gates, said that the industry ’s more consistent view is that the security gates that passengers pass through and the metal detectors held by security personnel are detected by electromagnetic waves, which is different from relying on X-rays The luggage passage of dangerous goods will not have much impact on the human body.

"And the regular security gates have national standards from size to radiation, and there will also be inspection reports from authoritative agencies." Mr. Bie said that overall, security gates will have some electromagnetic radiation, but they are inferior to household appliances Not much, so pregnant women need not worry too much. Pregnant women should note that because the luggage passage uses X-rays, there are lead curtains on both sides to shield radiation. When pregnant women take luggage that passes through security, do not rush to open the lead curtain of the passage to take the bag, otherwise there will be a small amount of radiation leakage.

The staff of Jinan International Airport said that if special passengers such as pregnant women are really worried, they can also apply to the security inspector on the spot, and the staff will conduct manual manual inspections.
