Buildings in modern cities are mainly constructed of concrete reinforced by steel bars. The metal bars, being electrical conductors, are sensitive to the complex magnetic field of the Earth. Therefore, they can affect human beings with respect to their blood and energy circulation, and brain waves. This negative effect on people makes them feel tired, agitated, excited, easily angered and depressed.

Take a modern office for example. It is furnished with a great deal of equipment like computers, telephones, copiers and fax machines, which contain a lot of metal. Therefore, getting in touch with nature more when we have time can help balance our bodies and minds. When purchasing office equipment, it is best to use natural materials. For instance, try to use wood for office furniture and partitions.

Besides, our personal living space should always be well away from big electric appliances like refrigerators, air-conditioners, transformers and generators. The workplace of a company's executive officers should also be far away from such apparatus, to avoid being affected by electromagnetic interference, which can affect their business decisions.

Furthermore, we should keep at least 100 meters away from high voltage cables. The magnetic interference generated by them can be detrimental to the human body and cause illnesses. Relevant departments in the country are researching further in this field. We hope the authorities in charge of electrical power system designs will pay greater attention when erecting high voltage cables to avoid harming residents.

<A JOKE>

We were warned, "It's better to stay far away from large electrical appliances." All the members of the News Group asked simultaneously, "Then what should we do? We work with computers everyday." With joy in his heart, a fellow brother said, "Don't worry! Our radiation is stronger than the computers'!". So it's the computers which needs to protect themselves, not us!
