偶然在網上看到一篇紐約時報(The New York Times, Jan 16, 2001)對Dr. Eleanor R. Adair關於微波的訪問，覺得其中用微波取暖的想法很有趣，故此分享一下。
歐盟一向很重視電器產生的電磁場 (包括 50Hz 以下的極低頻 和1~10 GHz 微波) 對人體健康的影響，現時歐盟合格的電腦、顯示屏、手電等都要乎合 TCO 標準，它其中一項 Emissions 標準要求是這樣寫：
“Labeling includes the SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) value, which is the accepted way of measuring the amount of radiation energy absorbed by the head when the telephone is broadcasting at full power. We have also included TCP (Telephone Communication Power), which is a new method for determining the telephone's communication ability. A good telephone must use a large portion of its power for communication and as small a percentage of the radiation as possible should be absorbed by the head. A good combination, therefore, is a low SAR value and a high TCP value….”。
