Protect Yourself from Dangerous Computer Monitor Radiation

“For years now, much research has been focused around the potentially harmful effects of the extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields emitted by Cathode Ray Tubes (e.g., your television at home, or the monitor that you are using to read this document). Some researchers believe that such fields could be attributed to such conditions as leukemia, tiredness or general fatigue.”
The author offers several suggestions to decrease your risk, including:
Never sit to the side or back of a computer monitor.
Fields are far stronger here than in the front of a monitor.
Always sit at least 2 feet from your computer's monitor screen.
The strength of an electromagnetic field decreases with the square of the distance from its source.
Use a smaller monitor.
Larger monitors release more radiation, as the screen's surface area is larger.
Use a monochrome, or a black and white monitor.
Emissions from color monitors are around twice that of monochrome monitors.
You may also want to consider purchasing a computer radiation shield—available
here for £14.99
