Answer 2

From Health Physics Society:

"Regulations of the US Department of Health and Human Services require manufacturers to test computer monitor emissions for radiation and to label them attesting to the fact that they have been found to meet the standards of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations. You should be able to find this label on the rear of the computer monitor or the computer processor. Health studies of pregnant women who work with VDTs have not found harmful effects on the women or on their children. Heavy lead aprons or other shields are not considered necessary for units that meet the x-ray emission standards of 21 CFR. Such shields may actually be counterproductive from an ergonomic point of view."

Also, from New York Times:

"''If you look at the study, and not the headlines about the study, it seems clear that the problem is the factory-like environment so many VDT operators work in, not the machine itself,'' said Jeanne Stellman, executive director of the Women's Occupational Health Resource Center, a Brooklyn organization. ''The most significant part of the study, one that didn't get reported, was the table showing that administrative and clerical workers who spent more than 20 hours a week on the VDT had a much higher miscarriage rate than managerial and professional women who spent the same amount of time at a computer.'' "

And, finally, from Calgary Health:

"Some women are concerned about radiation from computer screens. There is no evidence to suggest this will harm your baby."

This is from the last link, which is a pretty good document on pregnant working women with information on Taking steps to protect yourself and your baby and Reducing Workplace Risks from ALL sources. Seems to be informative -- might want to check it out.

Hope this helps! Good luck.

Answer 3

There is no radiation coming from a computer other than the light coming from the monitor screen, and it is harmless. However, sitting at a computer for several hours without taking time out to relax your eyes can cause eyestrain and headaches.
