what are the cause and effect of radioactive microwave pollution?

Question

is it similar to global warming?

Answer 1

Radiation pollution is any form of ionizing or nonionizing radiation that results from human activities. The most well-known radiation results from the detonation of nuclear devices and the controlled release of energy by nuclear-power generating plants (see nuclear energy). Other sources of radiation include spent-fuel reprocessing plants, by-products of mining operations, and experimental research laboratories. Increased exposure to medical X rays and to radiation emissions from microwave ovens and other household appliances, although of considerably less magnitude, all constitute sources of environmental radiation.

The environmental effects of exposure to high-level ionizing radiation have been extensively documented through postwar studies on individuals who were exposed to nuclear radiation in Japan. Some forms of cancer show up immediately, but latent maladies of radiation poisoning have been recorded from 10 to 30 years after exposure. The effects of exposure to low-level radiation are not yet known. A major concern about this type of exposure is the potential for genetic damage.

Answer 2

Let's clarify terms:

"Radioactive" refers to materials that produce ionizing radiation - radiation (like x-rays) with enough energy to knock electrons off other atoms, turning them into ions or charged particles.

"Microwave" radiation is electromagnetic energy in a certain frequency range (1-300 GHz, or 1 billion to 300 billion cycles per second). For the most part microwave radiation is NON-ionizing, that is, it DOESN'T have enough energy to create charged particles that can be damaging to living things. Microwave ovens work because the radiowave energy causes molecules of water, fats, and sugars to vibrate, and this heats up your lunch.

"Pollution" is any material or energy which has an effect we don't like.

Mostly, microwave radiation is only harmful if it's strong enough to heat tissue and cause burning. Mostly, microwave radiation is not strong enough to be considered pollution (and we design microwave ovens to they won't work with the door open, to keep their higher energy levels in a confined space... where our lunch is:-)

Microwave radiation is a form of electromagnetic energy that is very useful, as when it's used in air traffic control radars. It is NOT similar to global warming. Global warming is the result of too much thermal energy in the atmosphere, ocean, or land. Microwave energy, by itself, contributes almost nothing to global warming.

Answer 3

That's an old wives tale sweetheart. Mangoes are good for skin because they are high in Vitamin A. I eat mangoes in the summer and have perfect skin (I have psoriasis on my scalp but it has nothing to do with mangoes). When I hear the word mango I think of Doctor No, Underneath The Mango Tree was a song that was playing on the radio in 007's car, at the bar, and Honey Ryder was singing it when she walked out of the water. That's it I have to watch that movie again!

Answer 4

Do not confuse radiation and microwave there are not similar.
