Microwave....

Yep, true insofar as it goes. Problem is that permissible microwave exposure levels - ANSI and others - use internal body tissue heating as the medical end-point. This is being found to be an inadequate criterion, as there are other more subtle effects, such as possible chromosome and neural injury, quite apart from the thermal criterion.
