Jewelry is radioactive?
Miss Zhang read in the magazine that wearing jewelry can dredge meridians. After reading it, Miss Zhang insisted on wearing a ring every day and turned around from time to time to connect the meridians. But after a few days, she felt that her neck and hands were particularly itchy and her hands were still red and swollen. When she checked the Internet, she found that there was a frightening saying on the Internet that jewelry was radioactive, and long-term wearing would multiply the incidence of breast cancer and lung cancer. Miss Zhang hurried to the hospital for examination, and came to the conclusion that the jewelry she bought was alloy products, which was fake and contained nickel. People who are allergic to nickel will cause contact dermatitis, redness and itching when wearing this kind of jewelry.
Expert interpretation
Gems are radioactive, but harmless.
So is jewelry really radioactive? Zhao Qian, the national registered jewelry quality inspector of the Jewelry and Jade Jewelry Management Center, said: "There are two reasons for the radioactivity of jewelry. The first is that gems grow with radioactive materials nearby during the long crustal formation process; In another case, people irradiate some precious stones to get beautiful colors. However, the gems we are mining now have undergone crustal changes for hundreds of millions of years, and their radioactivity has already decayed and is no longer harmful. In the case of another kind of artificial irradiation, all regular manufacturers can do this operation. They will stand for a period of time after irradiation and then go on sale. The radiation of this gem is no longer harmful to the human body. "
Three years to raise jade, ten years to raise jade
Some people are allergic to wearing metal ornaments, so they choose jade and agate to wear. Coupled with the saying that "three years to raise jade, ten years to raise jade", jade pendants are deeply loved by people. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica mentioned that taking jade tablets for a long time has the advantages of "moistening the heart and lungs, helping the voice and throat, and nourishing hair". However, with the progress of the times and the development of science, is it true that the so-called "three years to raise jade, ten years to raise jade"?
Expert interpretation
People can raise jade, but jade can't raise people.
Zhao Xi of the Jewelry and Jade Jewelry Management Center said: "The temperature, sweat or grease of the human body are all beneficial to the structure of jade.
