Brooks Bradley wrote [excerpted]: I received an Off-List email from one of our more erudite technical researchers. . . . The gentleman's specific objection was to my inference relating to possible radiation hazard from leakage of the front seal of the microwave. . . . My comment was . . . obtained from the writings of Roger Coghill (a Cambridge educated researcher who specializes in the biological effects of magnetic fields. . . . My statement relating to the distance interval in front of the microwave, was a direct reference from Mr. Coghill's book on magnets (data table page 43), given without ancillary comment or consideration of control parameters. . . . The gentleman calling me to task . . . had prosecuted actual tests on microwave ovens, which confirmed the safety (based upon legal requirements) of normally functioning microwave ovens. . . . I apologize for my shortcomings in this matter.

Maybe the newer ones are better than that?? . . . I can tell you that as a result of taking these measurements, we no longer use the microwave, got rid of the wi-fi (all cabled now) and got rid of the cordless phone. ===================================================== Brooks, I have been meaning to write you about this for awhile. I don't think you were remiss at all. There's plenty of research showing the dangers of microwave ovens (entirely separate from the clear dangers of eating microwaved food). The EM fields from microwave ovens disrupt the heart, and have so many other negative effects besides. Take a look at the website of Dr. Magda Havas. She also discusses mobile phones, power lines, wi-fi, and more. I'm with you, Del! http://www.magdahavas.com/category/electrosmog-exposure/microwave-radiation- electrosmog-exposure/ Safety parameters based on legal considerations usually have nothing to do with safety parameters based on biological systems or real life. Brooks, I thank you for your diligence in researching, and your generosity in sharing what you have learned with others.
