MICROWAVE DANGERS: How unseen frequencies can harm your health
http://www.choosecra.com/htmlpages/news/reports/microwavedanger.html
Measurements on a microwave oven gave: Magnetic fields very high (>2 microtesla) in front of the and at the back of the oven. 3 meters away from the oven around 0.2 microtesla. Leakage of microwaves were high. 2 metres from the oven about 120 dBmV/m, 8 meters from the oven (2 rooms away from the kitchen) around 80 dBmV/m.
An EHS person normally can accept values around 60 dBmV/m.
So apart from health effects from irradiated food, stay away from using the oven.
