Would it bother you if you had to sleep beside a running microwave with the door open?

Would it bother you if you had to sleep with a running microwave in the next room?
So he feels there is good reason to take the precautions and isn't willing to take that chance? What's the big deal?
Personally I agree with the OP's concern, however I am exposed to substances in my line of work which may be a long-term health risk. Why would I want to add to the problem?
We should respect one's desire to avoid the hazards even though it may require effort and possibly an unorthodox lifestyle. If the possibility of a degenerative disease doesn't phase you, then go on and don't worry about it. I would rather jump off a bridge head first onto rocky ground than I would fading out slowly over a months or years time span.
