My microwave malfunctioned and continued to work with the door open.?
We just got a new microwave and I'm not really so sure how to use it but I managed to get it to heat some food. I decided that I'd set the food for too long so I opened the door but the microwave carried on working. :( I shut the door again straightaway. Will it have done anything to me? I get nervous about all this radiation damage stuff!

No problem, the microwaves only have a heating effect, and that occurs mostly inside the chamber. A second or two of exposure has no risks at all.
But take it back to the store you bought it at, and buy a different brand.

32 microwaves do not even supply off adequate radiation to ability a low-tech cellular telephone. actual. The microwaves sent out via the oven are NON-IRONISING, for this reason, there is not any maximum cancers unfavourable aspects. the only possibility is that the radiation might have heated up something close to you. Which it did not. So end being stupid.

OH NO!!!! that's what really happened to the Incredible Hulk. Don't be surprised when you turn green and your shirt begins to rip. Just kidding it is more the long term or multiple exposure that will have effects at those levels.
