Título Measurements of extremely low-frequency magnetic fields around video display terminals
Información bibliográfica Dec. 1986, Vol.12, No.6, p.609-613. Illus. 28 ref.
Resumen The extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic field emissions of 7 video display terminals (VDT) models were measured. At a distance of 50cm, the magnetic field strength was still slightly higher than the background level in usual office rooms, but several orders of magnitude lower than the thresholds of known interaction mechanisms. Some recent experiments suggest that certain biological effects to chick embryos may occur at field strengths only a few times higher than those found at the position of VDT operators, but the significance of these effects to human health is not known.
