The objective of this work was to verify and evaluate the emission and exposure limits of electromagnetic field - EMF generated by microwave ovens, according to established by the International Electrotechnical Commission - IEC and according it set in benchmarks in the Recommendations of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation - ICNIRP. This work was developed on sample of 30 household microwave ovens from different manufacturers, located in various faculties of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos – UNMSM, the 2011. After studying of the literature on the health effects related the CEM of the microwave ovens, measurements were performed of electric and magnetic fields with frequency value of 60 Hz and radiofrequency electric fields 2.4 GHz emitted by microwave ovens, the results were compared with national and international standards. The measured values obtained in all cases tested showed that remain within regulated emission and exposure internationally.
