We put a pot of cactus next to our computer to protect us from radiation. But actually this is a myth, cactus does not prevent radiation... For those who think that cacti absorb radiation, please note." Cacti absorb radiation" is a myth.

Why don't cacti absorb radiation?

In fact, all radiation in nature travels in a straight line, or is reflected and then travels in a straight line again. No plant can bend or collect radiation. Currently, only lead and related metals are known to offer some protection against radiation.

Cacti next to computers are also said to produce more oxygen and trap airborne dust. This is also a myth. This is because the amount of oxygen a plant can put out is directly related to the surface area of the plant; the greater the surface area, the more oxygen the plant puts out. Look at the cactus next to your computer and see how it is not a plant with a large surface area. Absorption of airborne dust is also positively correlated with leaf size. How much dust can a cactus absorb with its tiny leaves?

So it's a myth that cacti absorb radiation, release oxygen and trap dust. The cacti we put around our computers die very early. This is because the pots of the device cactus is made of plastic, the common pot texture is not suitable for plants like cactus to breathe freely, and the air permeability and water permeability of the poor plastic texture of the pots, cactus itself is a drought-tolerant plant, but not water-tolerant, there are some partners to drink a lot of water, the cactus died very quickly. The cactus that didn't live long enough to be placed next to the computer had nothing to do with the computer. It was just the way it was maintained. In summary, there is no scientific evidence to prove that the radiation emitted by the computer is directly harmful to the human body, and the cactus can prevent radiation is just a legend.

Small for the problem to do a detailed explanation, I hope to help you, if there is any problem you can leave me a message in the comments section, you can more and I comment, if there is something wrong, you can also more and I interact with the exchange of ideas, if you like the author, you can pay attention to me Oh, your praise is the biggest help to me, thank you.
