Microwave Ovens
Minimal health risk if the oven is properly maintained and used, with potential for burns or cataract from direct exposure. Always check for seal and door damage.
Wi-Fi Routers
Low-level non-ionizing radiation; no clear evidence of health effects according to current data. Use at a moderate distance to limit exposure.
Cell Phones
Possible increased risk of certain types of cancer, sleep disturbances, and reduced sperm quality. Use speaker mode or earphones to minimize exposure.
MRI Scanners
High strength magnetic fields; no known long-term health effects but can affect implanted medical devices and metal objects. Ensure all metal objects are removed before scanning.
Power Lines
Low exposure in everyday life but could be linked with a slight increase in risk of childhood leukemia. Maintain a prudent distance from high-voltage lines.
