Her contention is that she often uses microwave > and cooking range simultaneously, and this makes her stand in close > proximity to the microwave. She has concerns about RF leakage from the > microwave, and feels it can be harmful. > > I have not come across any information on the safety of the domestic > microwave ovens. Is there anyone who has actually measured the RF leakage > from the microwave, or can lead me to the other research information on > the > subject. > > All replies will be greatly appreciated. > > Regards, Ravinder > > Email: [email protected] > ************************************************************************** > * > Always do right.
