Peak wave deviation

[Nim]

How far from the peak wave do objects emit electromagnetic radiation? Humans emit infrared radiation, but I read that we also emit some microwave also.

Blackbody (http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/mod6.html#c1) radiation is a continuum. You radiate over the whole spectrum, with intensity varying as a function of wavelength.
