is is true that indoor plants can absorb the radiation emitted by the computer monitor?

Question

if it is, what type/kind of indoor plants i ought to buy?

Answer 1

Without protection, any living tissue can "absorb" radiation.
Plants certainly take in radiation in the spectrum which helps them make chlorophyll as well as show their colors.

Humans take in certain frequencies of sunlight, which help make Serotonin and other chemicals that keep the brain functioning well.

I imagine your are referring though, to harmful radiation given off by a cathode ray tube, as in a CRT monitor or CRT TV or a microwave oven: radiation which can cause mutation of cells or even death of cells.

The closer to the source, the more the radiation.
It used to be, that a good (safe) distance to stay away from a TV screen was about three feet (don't sit so close...), because that's the extent of the EMF past the phosphorus of the TV screen.

Are you intending to put the plant between you and the monitor so it will absorb radiation that may be harmful to you?

The answer is "yes" plants will absorb radiation from a CRT, just as you do.

Answer 2

I have never heard about radiation from monitors. Are you going to place the plants between you and the monitor?
