Radiation Exposure Overview - Microwave Ovens and the Public

Marvin Rosenstein, Warren A. Brill, Charles K. Showalter · 1969

Field surveys of 494 microwave oven units found that 109 units, or 22 percent, emitted radiation greater than 10 mW/cm² under normal operating conditions. Laboratory measurements demonstrated that power densities exceeding 700 mW/cm² could be produced if door safety interlocks failed or were defeated and the door was wide open. No specific performance standard for microwave oven exposure had been promulgated at the time of the report. Known human bioeffects from microwave exposure at levels of several mW/cm² to several hundred mW/cm² included temporary sterility in males, eye cataracts, and blood changes. A single case report described a microwave oven repairman with a recurrent hemorrhagic eruption that was suggested as possibly caused by microwave energy from microwave ovens.
