| Feb 2, 2018 at 15:52 | comment | added | mattm | Many microwaves do leak some energy, which you can detect precisely because your WiFi gets jammed. It's not enough to cook you, but enough to interfere with the 2.4GHz signal. | |
| Feb 2, 2018 at 15:25 | comment | added | Chris H | @Catija in that case I've added some links to wikipedia for further reading. I forget that while this is everyday stuff for me, it isn't for many people. | |

| Feb 2, 2018 at 15:05 | comment | added | Catija | I appreciate the edit... not knowing that there's multiple types of "radiation" changes how I view things. :) | |
| Feb 2, 2018 at 9:03 | comment | added | Chris H | @rumtscho, yes, good spot. I'm trying to break my habit of erring in that direction by default. | |
| Feb 2, 2018 at 8:39 | comment | added | rumtscho♦ | Thanks. I simply think that if a person finds the original claim plausible, then there is a chance they don't know the difference, so a mention of radio waves can be insufficient. Better err on the side of more explanation :) | |
| Feb 2, 2018 at 8:27 | comment | added | Chris H | @rumtscho, done. I thought my radio waves note would be sufficient but a second opinion is always good. | |

Non-ionising

| Feb 2, 2018 at 8:12 | comment | added | rumtscho♦ | I'd suggest adding a sentence or two about microwave radiation not being the same as ionizing radiation, else this answer can freak out people for no reason. | |
