Take some time to read through this piece to gain factual information on the use of microwave ovens in Nigeria.

 

What are Microwaves?

Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiations that are used for radar, communication, and cooking. They are transmitted in waves or particles. Other types of electromagnetic waves include ultraviolet radiation, infrared rays, radio waves, visible light, gamma rays, and x-rays.

This electromagnetic radiation was accidentally discovered after World War II. Since then, there have been a lot of research and experiments on how to optimize the potential of this discovery.

Microwaves oven are a type of home appliances that use microwave technology to heat food. The first generation microwave ovens that were invented were large and expensive. Technological advancement has, however, seen the size and price decrease over the years.

 

How do Microwave Ovens Work?

The working technique of microwave ovens is not magic; it’s pure science. The device contains a magnetron, an electron tube that emits electromagnetic radiation. This electromagnetic wave has a shorter (micro) wavelength than a normal radio wave and is, hence, called microwave.

When you insert your food item in the oven, the microwave emitted from this magnetron causes the vibration of water molecules in the item; this vibration results in the heating of the food item. This explains why food items that have a higher water content cook faster in a microwave than those with lower water content.

As you can see from this explanation, the microwave does not heat the food directly. It’s the vibration of the water molecules that causes heat. This is why you have to, sometimes, allow some thicker food items to rest for a while in order for the heat to disperse all over the item.

Should You Use Plastic in a Microwave Oven?

Microwave ovens are one of the healthiest ways to heat your food. Research has shown that if the heating process is properly done, the output is a food item that is still rich in nutrients.

There are some microwave-safe containers that are recommended for microwave ovens. Unless you’re sure that a particular plastic is microwave-safe, you’re advised not to use it in your oven. This is because the plastic could melt and leach into your food item; this could pose a dangerous health risk.

 

Is the Radiation from a Microwave Oven Harmful?

As discussed above, there is no doubt that microwave ovens emit radiation. In fact, the whole working technique is based on the emission of radiation.

But the big question is, is the radiation harmful to humans?

Well, with the current scientific evidence available, the answer is NO!

There is a standard restriction on the home appliances and gadgets we use that limits the level of radiation they emit. The level of radiation produced by all the radiation-emitting devices (smartphones, laptops, etc) we use daily or occasionally is far below the harmful level.

To serve as additional protection, the double interlock system was introduced. This system ensures that the microwave does not produce radiation when the latch is released.

The better part is that you can even employ another level of personal protection if you still feel concerned. Since the level of exposure to radiation decreases with an increase in distance, you may choose to stay away from your microwave oven while it is switched on and emitting radiation.
