Microwave :

■ Microwaves are basically extremely high frequency radio waves,

and are made by various types of transmitter.
■ Microwaves refer to the electromagnetic rays with frequencies
between 300MHz and 300GHz in the 
electromagnetic spectrum
■ In a mobile phone, they're made by a transmitter chip and an
antenna, in a microwave oven they're made by a "magnetron". Their
wavelength is usually a couple of centimeters.
■ Microwaves are light—electromagnetic radiation

Microwave Radiation and Its Effect on Health

■ Radiation is an energy that comes from a source and travels through

some medium or space. Generally, RF radiation will be produced by
several devices like TV and Radio transmitters, induction heaters,
and dielectric heaters. Microwave radiation will be produced by radar
devices, dish antennas, and microwave ovens
■ Due to the microwave radiation, the body temperature may
increase. There is a higher risk of heat damage with organs
which are having poor temperature control, such as the lens of
the eyes. Since radiation energy absorbed by the body varies
with frequency, measuring the rate of absorption is very difficult.

Effect of Microwave on human body

■ 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

Effect of Microwave on human body-(cont’d)

■ The blood vessels are dilating and the blood flow increases substantiality
as the thermoregulatory mechanism is activated in order to keep the body
temperature constant.

■ With rising body temperature the metabolic rate rises, which may lead to
stress-Adaptation-Fatigue Syndrome.
