Are microwaves harmful to the human body?

Most people are unfamiliar with microwaves and don't know what they are. When many people see the word microwave, the first thing that comes to their mind is the microwave oven, which is more common in daily life. This is considered to be achieved by using the microwave heating technology. So what are the hazards of microwaves to the human body? And whether the use of microwave ovens is safe and whether it is good for the body.

Hazards of microwaves:

1: Central nervous system effects

The central nervous system is relatively sensitive to radio frequency microwave electromagnetic radiation, so it has attracted much attention from researchers, especially the epidemiological surveys on the effects of occupational exposure to radio frequency microwave electromagnetic radiation on the nervous system, which have been reported many times in my country. The health hazards of radio frequency microwave electromagnetic radiation mainly manifest as neurasthenia syndrome, whose main symptoms include headache, dizziness, memory loss, inattention, depression, irritability, etc.

2: The impact of microwaves on the eyes

There have been numerous reports in China on microwave damage to the eyes, both in epidemiological surveys of occupationally exposed populations and in animal experiments. There are many reports that high-intensity microwave radiation can produce cataracts.

3.: Effects of microwaves on the circulatory system

There have been a large number of reports in China on the impact of low-power microwave radiation on the circulatory system, and the results are roughly the same, mainly manifested as palpitations, precordial pain, chest tightness and other symptoms, increased ECG abnormalities, sinus bradycardia and irregularities, cardiac bundle branch block, etc. In addition, blood pressure, blood count, cerebral blood flow, and microcirculation will also change to varying degrees.

4: Microwave reproductive effects

The reproductive system is relatively sensitive to microwave electromagnetic radiation, and the damage to the reproductive system caused by the thermal effect of microwaves is quite obvious [50-53]. However, there are also many reports in China about non-thermal microwaves causing harm to the reproductive system.

The above gives you a relatively detailed introduction to the hazards of microwaves to the human body. It turns out that the damage caused by microwaves to the body is quite serious. In fact, the worse thing is that many people are completely unaware of this matter. Microwaves will be generated when household microwave ovens are in use, so it is recommended that you do not stand near microwaves, especially when the microwave oven is working.
