Is It Safe To Use The Microwave Oven?

Widespread as the microwave oven is, it still causes many worries among the public

. Then, is it safe to use the microwave oven?

Actually, scientists have detected that the security of the microwave is like that of sunlight, and whether it is harmful to humans health depends on the amount of energy. Warm sunshine makes people feel comfortable while exposure to hot sun may cause skin burn. So it is with the microwave. Since it can heat the food, it can also heat the human body. The crux of the matter lies in how much energy the microwave has when it reaches the human body.

Scientists have done a lot of researches and found the smallest microwave power which may do harm to the human body. As to the microwave oven which can work properly, the leakage of microwave power can do little harm to human health. In the United States it is urged that in the place approximately 5 cm from the microwave oven, the power not exceeding 5 milliwatts per square cm while the Chinese standard is more stringent, which is 1 milliwatt. Moreover, the microwave energy diminishes according to distance. 5 cm is 1 MW, 50 cm down to 0.01 MW, is "human and animal-friendly".

Another safety concern is that microwave ovens use plastic containers which may release harmful substances. Indeed, when heated some of the plastics will release harmful ingredients. Food and Drug Administration determined the maximum of hazardous substances that may be released into the food from various plastic containers when heated in a microwave oven, requiring that the standard is lower than the amount of 1% or even 0.1% of the harmful dose concluded from the animal experimentation. Therefore, qualified "microwave heat" plastic containers are quite safe.

Therefore, the safety of the microwave oven is determined by the container used to some extent. In addition, microwave does not cause cancer as some people imagine. Also it will not produce carcinogenic substances in food. On the contrary, it may help to prevent the formation of cancer-causing substances.

Up to now, no definite can prove the danger that the microwave oven can produce as some people imagine.
