Computer screens emit visible light which allows the characters on the screen to be seen. Weak electromagnetic fields and very low levels of other radiation, not visible to the human eye, can be detected by sensitive instruments. Similar emissions are produced by television receivers.



The levels of most radiations and electromagnetic fields emitted from computers are much less than those from natural sources, such as the sun or even the human body and are well below levels considered to be harmful by responsible expert bodies such as the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA).

Princeton University Position Statement on WiFi Radiation Concerns :



It is the general consensus of the scientific community that the level of RF exposure due to wireless networks is so low compared to the many other RF sources in the modern environment that health concerns from WiFi exposure are not an issue. The results of the survey of Firestone Library support the data and conclusions from other WiFi surveys. We can reasonably say that the wireless networks present at Princeton University do not present a hazard to persons working or otherwise spending time in University buildings.

I've heard that most studies recommend a 2 foot rule (the distance between you and the monitor.) However, I don't know how or if the 19", 22", 36" etc. monitors available today change the radiation dosage levels due to their larger size.

Radiation emissions are a myth.



Even the old CRT monitors did not emit any mesurable radiation.



Same as a TV.



Now a poorly adjusted monitor [fuzzy, bad resolution] will cause your eyes to fatigue faster and may cause damage to your eyes.



No you will not mutate or get cancer from playing games all the time.

Even if you stood outside a nuclear power plant, holding a laptop and talking on a cell phone at the same time... you would still test negative for radiation exposure...

enable me preface my reaction with this little bit of healthful skepticism: there is not any administration in this test. perhaps the examine performed have been accomplished with admire to sound scientific practices. inspite of the incontrovertible fact that, there are some variables to evaluate. a million. everyone makes use of cellular telephones. it is to no longer say that this disproves the incontrovertible fact that there is not any link between cellular telephone utilization and maximum cancers--it in basic terms skill that utilization on my own won't be able for use as a sole correllative variable. It could be supported via significant and obvious supplemental stimuli. 2. we in many situations ignore that our technology is in reality a working test with admire to longtime exposure to synthetic chemical composition that have by no skill, and could by no skill exist certainly. in case you look on the decrease back of your bag of "ask your self Bread", I assure which you will no longer have the means to pronounce 75% of the climate. It makes me "ask your self" why grandmas abode made bread maintains to be sparkling, collectively as the mass produced equivelent looks to stay comfortably comfortable for 40 5 days (i will assure you that it is not because of the fact they used bigger high quality flour) 3. the main person-friendly and maximum perceivable style of waves are human beings who compose a valid waves. there is no longer something incorrect with that for the time of and of itself. The analogy falls short once you utilize your person-friendly awareness of ways the sum total quantity will advance in a linear style (ie a choir of 10 singers is louder than one , with the administration being that each singer is making a music with the comparable intensity. that may no longer the case while describing the character of the waves emitted via our cellular telephones. the full intensity will constantly be as great because of the fact the main efficient source. meaning, in case you have 3 factors emmitting a sign: a million) 10 (2 13; 3) 8, the point of exposure would be for this reason, 13--by no skill decrease and by no skill bigger. I even have not accompanied as much as study all the examine, yet i will say that there is not any think approximately stressful approximately it. perhaps they do reason maximum cancers. We won't understand for some years the lasting long term effects to prolonged exposure. perhaps, interior the year 2100, AT&T would be tension to place warning labels on their telephones equivalent to that of the tobacco companies. greater effective yet, perhaps you may get maximum cancers from "2d-hand" cellular telephones...

none and it's not dangerous!
