Description
Technology in video display terminals (VDT's), otherwise known as computers, has brought this product into widespread use. Years ago, VDT's were thought to be a machine of big business, but advances in production and manufacturing have brought many into small businesses and homes. Each year the number of computer operators increase. In 1986 there were an estimated 13 million operators on the job. By the end of 1990, a predicted 40 million people will be operating a computer. As these numbers grow so does the concern for prolonged exposure to harmful radiation. Radiation exposure has always been a public concern. This is why the Bureau of Radiological Health has set standards for consumer protection from harmful radiation of VDT's, household appliances, and other related electronic devices. The problem is people don't realize these standards and continue to believe VDT's emit harmful radiation. The proceeding information will compare radiation emission from VDT's to common household appliances and also inform consumers there is no cause for concern.
