∙ 14y agoWhen microwave ovens first appeared on the market in the 20th Century, there was concern that the microwave "radiation" could escape and cause harm to someone standing next to them, specifically, that they could cause cancer. Such fears have been proved to be erroneous, and all microwaves today have seals and shields that prevent any "radiation" from escaping the cooking chamber. So to answer your question in a word, "nothing."
