Is your microwave oven leaking damaging levels of radiation?
One easy way to tell is with a
microwave leak detector. An independent survey showed that over 56% of microwave ovens that are
over two years old leaked levels of radiation that were 10%
higher than the current FDA safety standards. Do you want to
expose yourself or family to the potential effects of microwave
radiation? Read on and we'll tell you why microwaves leak and
some things you can do about it.
Confusion
There is a lot of confusion in the realm of microwave ovens and
the kind of radiation that they produce. For the most part microwave
ovens are very safe. If a microwave oven develops a leak, which is
common, it can start to output harmful levels of electromagnetic
radiation. This is where a microwave leak detector will come in handy.
It's a simple tool that can be used to keep your home safe and
radiation free.
Electromagnetic Radiation
Electromagnetic radiation is different from the kind of radiation
that is in an
x-ray or any type of nuclear device. When someone
says I'm going to "Nuke" my food they really aren't correct. The
type of
radiation is different. You can read more information
about the type of radiation at Wikipedia. They have an excellent
article on
electromagnetic radiation.
