When was the last time you checked your microwave for radiation

leakage? Yes, I did say radiation leakage, because any microwave can

start leaking radiation any time, for whatever reasons. And such a

leakage is hazardous to humans and pets in the house.

You don't need to call in experts or to send your microwave to the

dealer's workshop for a leakage test. That's time consuming,

inconvenient and costly. Here's how you can test your microwave for

radiation leakage, right in your own house, at no cost. Just follow

these simple steps >>>

1. Switch-off and un-plug the microwave from the electrical socket.

2. Place your mobile phone inside the microwave and shut the door.

3. Using another mobile phone, dial the phone that's inside the microwave.

4. If the outside phone says "the number you are dialling is not

reachable, or is out of coverage area, or is switched off; then your

microwave is safe.

5. But if the phone inside the microwave lights up and rings, your

microwave is leaking radiation. Just throw away the damn thing and get

a new one. (Believe me, the medical treatment of the side-effects of

radiation leaks is costlier than the price of maybe 10 new

microwaves.)

Remember, just because the door of your microwave appears to shut

properly does not conclusively mean that it is not leaking radiation.

Stay safe, and test your microwave regularly at frequent intervals;

the frequency of testing depending on the extent of usage, and you are

the best judge of that.

Dear Raghu
Have you ever checked for such radiation effect. What will be the impact of radiation effect in our health. Give some more details. If it is proved to be hazardous then only we can post. Otherwise it will attract defamation from the Microwave oven manufacturing companies.

That's a good & practically necessary Posting Raghu.
@ S. Bhaskar--any radiation beyond a limit AND in a given set of environmental parameters is dangerous.
The very fact that a Microwave Oven 'heats' food thru radiation can give us an approx idea of 'what if' our body parts are in the place of the food [thru external leakages].

The document says... :

Checking Ovens For Leakage

There is little cause for concern about excess microwaves leaking from ovens unless the door hinges, latch, or seals are damaged. In FDA's experience, most ovens tested show little or no detectable microwave leakage. If there is some problem and you believe your oven might be leaking excessive microwaves, contact the oven manufacturer, a microwave oven service organization, your state health department, or the nearest FDA office.

A word of caution about the microwave testing devices being sold to consumers: FDA has tested a number of these devices and found them generally inaccurate and unreliable. If used, they should be relied on only for a very approximate reading. The sophisticated testing devices used by public health authorities to measure oven leakage are far more accurate and are periodically tested and calibrated."

I am curious who had done this " phone test " - I just did and the phone inside the oven rings when dialed from outside !

Any else please do and report... Also, any link to medical site saying this is a valid test ?

Ok, here is some debunking already done....
How do I test a microwave for 'leakage'?... Does - Fixya
Still interested in a valid link from a medically competent site - and the results of your own tests !
