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.

What two things make microwaves more dangerous?

Microwaves can be more dangerous due to the potential for thermal burns if food or containers get too hot, and the risk of exposure to radiation if the microwave door is damaged or the device is leaking electromagnetic waves.


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.


Can you explain why it is dangerous to put metal in a microwave?

Putting metal in a microwave is dangerous because metal reflects the microwaves, causing electric currents to build up. This can lead to sparks, fires, and damage to the microwave.


What is the difference between ultrasound and microwaves?

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal body structures, while microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths that are commonly used for heating food. Ultrasound is non-ionizing and generally safe for medical imaging, while microwaves can be dangerous if not properly shielded.
