ARE THERE NEGATIVE HEALTH EFFECTS FROM WIRELESS INTERNET ROUTERS AND STANDING IN FRONT OF A MICROWAVE OVEN?

My crony told me which x-ray ovens as good as wireless internet routers work on identical frequencies. Is there a identical volume of appetite outlay from both inclination as well?

No the microwave is usually 1100W, so that’s a lot of energy

The router is waay less, maybe 10W?

All devices are safe, the government doesn’t allow dangerous objects in the house.

first they are two very different frequencies, and second unless you stand there for years at a time with no break in between, nothing will happen to you. Microwaves heat up water molecules which routers release a different type of microwave (same name, different things) that allow computers to connect to it, ie internet, etc

Tell your friend they are barking up the wrong tree. Not only do wireless routers operate on radio frequencies, while microwave ovens operate on microwave frequencies, they are both perfectly harmless.

Radio waves go right through humans. Do you get radio stations where you live? If so, then you have millions of radio waves going through your body every second.

Microwaves are absorbed by humans, causing a temperature increase. Unless you are getting burned sitting in front of your microwave oven, there’s no need to worry. Even then, you could just replace the microwave oven.

Neither type of radiation has enough energy to ionize atoms (which causes radiation sickness and cancer). Here is the way humans divide up the electromagnetic spectrum, from lowest to highest energy. *Asterisks* indicate ionizing radiation.

Radio – Microwave – Infrared – Visible Light – *Ultraviolet* – *X-rays* – *Gamma Rays*

Notice that Radio and Microwave have less energy than even visible light. You aren’t worried about visible light, so there’s no reason to worry about anything to the left of it on that chart.
