Health Risks from Always Charg
In today’s gadget-filled world, many people leave chargers
plugged in even when not in use — a habit experts warn can pose health and safety risks.
Idle chargers still generate heat, and cheap or counterfeit ones may
release small amounts of harmful gases like formaldehyde or VOCs, which can irritate the lungs, throat, or skin over time.
Plugged-in chargers also emit low-level electromagnetic radiation,
which some studies link to headaches, fatigue, and sleep disruption — especially when kept near beds.
Those sensitive to EMFs may experience increased irritability or trouble concentrating.
Beyond health effects, continuously connected chargers can overheat or short-circuit, raising fire risks and wasting energy.
Experts recommend unplugging chargers when not in use to reduce exposure, save electricity, and extend the life of your devices.
This simple step helps protect both your health and your home.
