English scientists from Manchester University believe that microwaves represent a threat to humanity. According to statistics, microwave ovens emit as much carbon dioxide as 7 million cars.

Scientists have conducted a study and calculated how much harmful waste is released from the beginning of the assembly and until complete disposal. As it turned out, 17 microwave ovens in just 12 months emit the same amount of CO2 into the atmosphere as an ordinary car running on gasoline.

It is noted that only in the UK microwave ovens for the year allocate only 10 times less harmful substances than vehicles. In other European countries, this indicator is lower.

In turn, experts strongly recommend that after each heating up of food switch off the device from the outlet, so that electricity is not wasted on other resources, such as a timer or clock.

Judging by the calculations, by 2020, about 16 million devices will fail. Their massive utilization will also contribute to the greenhouse effect.
