Is Your Microwave Trying to Kill You?

September 25, 2024 Go Ahead, Stand in Front of Your Microwave This issue has been sponsored by: ARMSLIST “Democracy is not just the right to vote, it is the right to live in dignity.”  – Naomi Klein Radiation Poisoning if You Stand in Front of the Microwave? The safety of standing in front of a microwave while it's running has been a topic of interest, with regulations ensuring that modern microwaves emit minimal radiation, making it generally safe to be nearby. However, the EPA and FDA advise, "for precaution, it's advised not to lean or stand directly against it for prolonged periods." This caution stems from the potential for radiation leakage if the microwave is damaged or malfunctioning, suggesting that maintaining a safe distance or checking for any damage before use is wise. Despite these precautions, the consensus from experts is that the radiation levels from a properly functioning microwave are below harmful thresholds, as long as the door seals are intact and there's no visible damage. The discussion around microwave safety also touches on broader concerns about electromagnetic fields (EMF) from various household devices, but in the case of microwaves, the risk is considered very low under normal operating conditions. Still, it might be best to take the same approach as a watched pot never boils. Don’t stand in front of the microwave until the timer goes off.
