WHAT IS MICROWAVE RADIATION?
Microwave radiation is the energy that causes the water molecules in
food to vibrate rapidly. It is this rapid vibration that produces heat which,
in turn, cooks the food.
However, it can also penetrate through living tissue
which is why exposure to microwave radiation is harmful to your health.
Microwave radiation is difficult to detect because it is both invisible
and odorless. When a microwave oven is turned on, microwave radiation is
Microwave radiation disappears once you turn the oven off, but
until then, you may be exposing yourself and your family to dangerous levels
WHAT CAUSES MICROWAVE OVENS TO LEAK?
Slamming the oven door, dirt or food particles caught in the door seals
and hinges, or basic wear and tear all cause the oven door to slightly separate
from the oven enclosure.
Once this happens, invisible, but highly dangerous
microwave radiation leaks through the small space and this can cause irreversible
damage and injury to you and your family.
FACT: An Independent survey conducted among the Professional
Service Associates, a group of microwave repair servicemen, indicated
that over 56% of microwave ovens two years or older leaked levels of
radiation 10% higher than the safety standards set by the FDA.
More often than not, a simple adjustment
was all that was needed to stop the leakage.
WHAT CAN MICROWAVE RADIATION DO TO YOU?
The FDA has established microwave radiation exposure levels greater
than 5mw/cm2 to be dangerous. Independent studies have revealed levels
much lower can cause:
* Skin Cancer
* Dizziness and Headaches
* Blood Disorders
* Increased Stress
* Birth Defects in Pregnant Women
* Central Nervous System Damage
* Temporary Sterility in Men
* Cardiovascular Problems
* Interference with Some Pacemakers

If the skull and cross bones appear while the smile face is visible,
it could be extremely dangerous. Do not use the oven and contact a
qualified kitchen appliance technician.
