Radiation leakage from electromagnetic oven

BackgroundMicrowaves are a form of electromagnetic energy, like light waves or radio waves, and occupy a part of the electromagnetic spectrum of power, or energy. Microwaves are very short waves of electromagnetic energy that travel at the speed of light (186,282 miles per second). In our modern technological age, microwaves are used to relay long distance telephone signals, television programs, and computer information across the earth or to a satellite in space. But the microwave is most familiar to us as an energy source for cooking food.The aimof this research is to measurement the radiation leak from different types of electromagnetic oven for some type oven in Erbil city can be measured, that affect to the human health.Materials & methodsThis study is performed for the first time in some houses in Erbil (the capital of Iraq Kurdistan region) using an Electromagnetic field strength meter device measuring electric field, magnetic field and radiation intensity in eight homes in Erbil.Results & DiscussionsThe measurements have been done at some houses in Erbil city, according to the source of background radiation exist before measuring data. Our data compared with standard safe range of radiation data. Results showed that there is radiation leak form all type of electromagnetic oven and all at the order of safety compared with standard value.
