- Hello Everyone,
-
- I am sure that many of you have heard the fact that radar guns
- used by highway police are now suspected to cause cancer to
- police who are frequently exposed to MICROWAVES.
-
- My question is: ARE MICROWAVE OVENS (when used very frequently)
- ALSO CAPABLE OF CAUSING CANCER??
-
- I suspect that microwave ovens have some kind of a shield to
- cutoff most of the radiation, but a small portion is still
- leaked through and radiates to the user, right??
-
- Thanks,
- Baldwin
