How does microwave affect people?

Microwaves can affect people primarily through exposure to microwave radiation, which can cause thermal effects, such as heating of body tissues. At regulated levels, the exposure from microwave ovens is generally considered safe, as they are designed to contain radiation and prevent leakage. However, improper use or malfunctioning devices can lead to burns or other injuries. Additionally, concerns have been raised about potential long-term health effects from exposure to microwaves, but current research has not conclusively linked microwave radiation to serious health risks.
