Best Answer

For emissions over 30W: wear protective clothing at all times and keep exposure time to a minimum.

5-30W: Wear protective gear over prolonged exposures (>10mins).

<5W: Generally none but wear protective gear if exposure is likely to be >1hr.

Generally avoid if possible.

Actually on all microwaves I've seen there has always been some sort of warning about the dangers it can cause. The most common dangers that have been listed are cancer and reproduction issues.

What type of material can you use to replace your microwaves door seal since you can no longer order parts?

It's not so much the material but the criss cross pattern of the material that keep the microwaves in. I would STRONGLY suggest however, that if you can't get a replacement part for a microwave and are not qualified to work on a microwave that you dispose of it and purchase a new one. Unprotected microwaves or incorrectly serviced microwaves are EXTREMELY dangerous.


Why microwaves are dangerous for us and visible light is not?

The degree of interaction between water and microwaves is much greater than that between the former and visible light. As such, microwaves heat up water while visible light does not -- visible either goes though water or bounces off it. Since our bodies consist of a lot of water, microwaves hitting us would cause us to heat up fairly rapidly -- exactly like food in a microwave oven. Getting cooked in a microwave oven is a LOT more dangerous than being illuminated by a lot of visible light.


Why does metal not go in a microwave?
