The Japanese government decided to dispose of all household microwave ovens before the end of this year. This is because of a study by scientists at Hiroshima University. They found that in the past 20 years, radio waves have done more harm to citizens' health, and the harm of using microwave ovens even exceeded the atomic bombs 1945 dropped by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in September.
Experts show that the food heated by microwave oven contains very unhealthy radiation. Therefore, all the large microwave oven factories in Japan that mass-produce this product are about to close.
South Korea issued a statement: in 20021year, microwave oven production will soon stop. China also plans to ban this technology in 2023.
Interpretation of the truth:
First of all, this is fake news. When we search online, we will find that this is not a new news. It appeared in May of 20 19, and there were rumors at that time.
We should look at such news from two aspects. First, the source of news, such information without authoritative sources, is harmful to people's health, so we should be vigilant and not be credulous.
On the other hand, from the common sense of life, microwave oven is a common tool in people's daily life and has been used for decades. If there is such a great harm, it has caused many people's harm, and it will be discovered decades later.
Microwave oven is a kind of cooking appliance which uses microwave field to heat food. In the microwave oven, the magnetron converts electric energy into microwave energy, and the water molecules in the food vibrate in the microwave electromagnetic field, colliding with each other to generate heat, thus increasing the temperature of the food. This is a safe way of heating and will not destroy food.
Another problem of microwave oven safety is microwave leakage. All countries have strict standards for microwave leakage. China stipulates that the power per square centimeter should not exceed 1 MW at a distance of 5 cm from the microwave oven. Therefore, as long as qualified microwave oven products are used, the microwave energy that can harm the human body will not be leaked, and it is completely safe to use.
In addition, it should be noted that in order to make their news sound more convincing, these rumors often have to make up some evidence. Compared with the so-called "South Korean statement" and "China's planned ban" in such rumors, this kind of news is mostly artificially fabricated, and it is easy to identify after further online search and verification.
