| Abstract |
As the use of microcomputers at work is becoming widespread in Hungary, it is essential to survey their possible harmful effects on health. This article surveys: ionising radiation (in the case of 95% of new equipment, there is no ionising radiation in excess of the background level); non-ionising radiation (principal effects noted are the result of exposure to electrostatic fields); strain on the eye and the musculoskeletal and nervous system; ergonomically faulty software; noise. The article also provides recommendations for workplace planning: installation of ergonomically satisfactory hardware and software; proper design of work areas (desks, seats, lighting, microclimate); medical surveillance of workers; periodic work breaks. |
