Because microwaves make the molecules in the food vibrate and heat up. Gamma rays can cause cancer.
A new microwave having a label stating that is meets FDA standards for minimal radiation leakage is the safe choice and will leak the least amount of microwave radiation. You can also protect yourself by not leaning against a microwave while it's operating, and not using a microwave with a door that does not close firmly.
Microwave radiation can be harmful to humans if exposure is at high levels. Using microwave ovens for cooking is safe as they are designed to prevent leakage of radiation. It is important to use microwave ovens properly and ensure they are in good working condition to minimize any potential risks.
Microwave ovens emit non-ionizing radiation in the form of microwaves. This radiation heats the water molecules in food, causing them to vibrate and generate heat, which cooks the food. Microwaves are considered safe for use in kitchen appliances.
One can protect themselves from gamma rays by using shielding materials such as lead or concrete, maintaining a safe distance from radiation sources, and wearing protective clothing like lead aprons or suits.
Lead (being a very dense metal) is generally the material used to guard against gamma rays--radiologists, who take your x-rays, stand behind a lead based shield, since they are exposed to small doses day after day (there is no danger to you). CBRNE: C

Yes as long as you follow the instructions.
They are safe to cook food in (as long as you follow to cooking instructions correctly).
Check the packaging or the underside of the plate for guidance. It will say.
The Reason for these is because Some Plastic Can Not Stand the heat that The MicroWave Oven melt produce therefore when you put a unstsble Plastic in the Microwave oven it Will meltAnother Response:Certain types of plastic may be recommended for use in microwave ovens because they allow the microwaves to pass through them. In this way the food inside the plastic container is cooked while the container stays cool. Not all plastics are microwave safe; some will melt. Metal cannot be used in microwaves. Some types of ceramic dishes, which may have metal elements in their glaze, are not safe in microwave ovens. Consequently some companies such as Tupperware, Rubbermaid and Pampered Chef produced lines of plastic cookware specifically for microwave ovens.More recently, studies suggest that molecular particles from some types of plastic migrate into food when heated in microwave ovens. While manufacturers maintain that their products are safe, some medical experts advise using only glass or safe ceramic cookware in microwave ovens.
You can stand as close as you like. Microwave ovens are perfectly safe and the amount of microwave radiation leaking from it is so minuscule as to be irrelevant. People generally don't realize, but there's more energy in light than there is in microwaves. Microwave leakage can't hurt you.

The simple answer is yes. The more detailed answer is no. Any serving plate (your 1972 English china for example) made before the invention of the microwave oven is not microwave safe. They simple did not have the technology or foresite to incorporate microwave safe material in the plates. So please DO NOT put any product made before 1979 (the first year that commercial microwave ovens were sold) into the microwave. They will, at best, crack and, at worst, explode.

To optimize your cooking experience with a microwave convection oven, use the convection setting for even cooking and browning, preheat the oven for better results, use microwave-safe cookware, and follow recipes specifically designed for microwave convection ovens.
No, microwave ovens are constructed in such a way that no 'microwaves' can escape the oven, so your food or anything else stored close by are safe.
