| Abstract |
This report evaluates recent research concerning the technical, occupational hygiene, safety and medical aspects of work with VDTs. It appears that the only specific problem which can be clearly related to work with VDTs is eye discomfort. The study is a revision and an update of a previous report. Video display terminals and health - A technical and medical appraisal of the state of the art, published in the Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Health, Vol.10, Suppl.2, 1984 (CIS 85-1583). English language conclusions of a WHO Working Group on Occupational Health Aspects in the use of Visual Display Terminals are included in the text. |
