2013-09-29
Name: Deeps



Hi,
I was wondering if metal detectors put up at Malls and Airports pose any health risk?
I stopped going to malls fearing that I need to pass thru the metal detector door.
Please help!

Thanks

The metal detector does not expose you to ionizing radiation such as x rays neither do hand detectors for individual screening. Metal detectors operate by generating a low-intensity magnetic field. They are perfectly safe during any phase of pregnancy. So go ahead and enjoy, do not worry.

Metal detectors in malls and airports are perfectly safe. They have very low intensity radiations. Unlike popular belief, they are not x-rays. Passing through security portal does not pose a risk to a pregnant woman or her unborn child. The devices used to scan your carry-ons are very well shielded so there is no risk from passing by those.

Rightly said Medha! Scanners at malls and airports are perfectly safe. There is nothing for you to worry about. These scanners have very low radiations as they are designed this way because they do not have to see as much detail.You can safely visit malls. They are perfect for relaxation.
