Is the microwave radiation from a microwave dangerous?

Answer:
"All microwave ovens made after October 1971 are covered by a safety standard enforced by the FDA. The standard limits the amount of microwaves that can leak from an oven. The limit is 5 milliwatts of microwave radiation per square centimeter at a distance of two inches from the oven surface. This is far below the level known to harm people. Furthermore, as you move away from an oven, the level of any leaking microwave radiation that might be reaching you decreases dramatically. For example, someone standing 20 inches from an oven would receive approximately one one-hundredth of the amount of microwaves received at 2 inches."
