Microwave cooker hazards

not clearly visible · 1970

Microwave ovens usually generate about 1500 watts of radiation at either 915 or 2450 megahertz, with the former near the most dangerous frequency and the latter near the most dangerous frequency for cataracts. A government survey of 155 microwave ovens in hospitals, restaurants, and homes revealed 51 with excessive radiation leakage. Officials described the industry as relatively new and doubted significant health damage had occurred, but the article calls this complacent attitude widespread and unjustified.

Occupational Aspects of Non-Ionizing Radiant Energy Exposure—Thresholds and Standards

Sol M. Michaelson · 1970

The author reviews the pathophysiology of exposure to ultraviolet, infrared, coherent electromagnetic radiation (laser), microwaves, and radio-frequency radiation, including critical organs and thresholds. The paper discusses the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968 and the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, which prompted renewed interest in biological effects of electromagnetic radiation.

Microwave Irradiation of Potato-Waste Water

M. A. K. Hamid, W. M. Boerner, S. C. Tong · 1970

Researchers exposed potato-waste water to 2.45 GHz microwaves at 1.2 kW for 8 to 18 seconds in a rectangular waveguide. Bacterial counts decreased logarithmically with irradiation time. Chemical oxygen demand was higher in irradiated samples than in controls. The authors hypothesized that microwaves may stimulate aerobic bacteria and reduce photosynthetic bacteria, but noted these observations need confirmation.
