Is cactus radiation-proof? Can cactus protect against radiation? The answer is no, cactus can't protect against radiation, especially electromagnetic radiation.
Some white-collar workers, especially those who have more contact with computers, may have heard that putting a cactus beside a computer desk can reduce electromagnetic radiation and protect human health. Many people believe it, but it's really a rumor, an out-and-out rumor.
Cactus, whose original living environment is in the desert, is exposed to strong sunlight all day, and its water content is very low, so even its leaves have become thorns. The radiation produced in the natural environment is a kind of energy, and cactus can be absorbed and utilized. Once the cactus is exposed to electromagnetic radiation, it is helpless, let alone absorbed.
As we all know, radiation travels in a straight line. At present, there is no effective technology to divert radiation. If there is anything that can prevent radiation, it should be a low-grade between people and radiation sources, not absorption. Assuming that cactus can absorb radiation, if you just put a pot of cactus next to the computer, it has no effect on radiation protection, and cactus has no ability to turn radiation.
Although cactus can't protect against radiation, if you keep some cactus in the office, it will still have a great effect on air purification.
The flower language of cactus, cactus, just outside and soft inside. At the beginning of creation, cactus was the weakest thing in the world. As delicate as water, she lost her life when she touched it. God couldn't bear to add a suit of armor to her heart, which was as hard as iron and had stinging steel. Since then, no one can see the heart of the cactus, and all the creatures near her will bleed profusely. After a long time, a brave man tried to eradicate this evil thing. The sword fell and the cactus became two halves, but the middle was green liquid. It turned out to be a sealed cactus heart, because the loneliness that no one understood turned into a tear. So cactus has a strong flower language.
