FACTOR THAT CAUSE OVER-EXPOSURE TO THE
ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE
Microwave radiation coming out from radar and other equipment such as long-distance
telephone and television communication relay systems, medical diathermic equipment, and
certain devices used for rapid cooking may cause corneal cataracts and testicular damage.
-Aluminium foil - It will start a fire
-Stainless steel / travel mug - The heat will be blocked from warming the liquid
-Plastic storage - the chemical in plastic could end up in your food
-Plastic bags- are unsanitary
-can cause a fire
-emit toxic fumes
POTENTIAL HARMFUL EFFECTS TO USERS DUE TO
EXPOSURE TO THE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE
-Microwave radiation can heat body tissue the same way it heats food. Exposure to high levels
of microwaves can cause a painful burn. Two areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are
particularly vulnerable to RF heating because there is relatively little blood flow in them to carry
away excess heat
-The water molecules rotate rapidly in the microwave and in the food in high frequencies which
creates molecular friction and heats up your food. This causes the molecular structure in your
food to change, and as a result diminishes the nutrient content in the food
-When you head foods that are wrapped in plastic in the microwave, you can create carcinogens
in the food.The plastic containers used to heat these microwave meals have been found to
release the carcinogens along with other harmful toxins into your food which is then absorbed
by your body.
STEPS TO BE TAKEN TO REDUCE EXPOSURE
TO THE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE
Modern technology has made our lives more efficient and more comfortable. Laptops,
tablets, cell phones, computers, baby monitors, dimmer switches and many other devices
have become part of our daily life. However, all the convenience that occurs with electronic
device usage comes with harmful secondary effects that can affect our health and overall
well-being. This is primarily due to electromagnetic radiation that comes from these devices.

We are radiated with 300 MHz to 300 GHz of EMFs each day of our lives, being exposed to
way more microwave radiation than our ancestors were. According to scientists the
frequency of this radiation keeps increasing.

Where and when are we in an area saturated with microwave radiation? It's quite simple to
find out. As long as we have a signal on our cell phone, we are in such an area, being
exposed to microwave radiation.
