Is it true that microwave ovens expose users to dangerous radiation during normal use?
No. The FDA states that federal standards limit microwave leakage from ovens to 5 mW per square centimeter, far below levels known to harm people, and the EPA notes ovens are constructed to keep radiation from leaving the oven. These official sources indicate normal microwave oven use does not expose users to dangerous radiation.
