| Abstract |
On the basis of epidemiological studies, measurements of the radiation emmited by cathode-ray displays, biological data and experimental work, the authors evaluated the relationships between pregnancy outcome and work at video terminals in order to determine the appropriateness of removing pregnant women from such work. Video terminal work was not a risk factor for malformation, stillbirth, prematurity or spontaneous abortion. The risk of low birthweight could not be validly assessed. |
