I spent 5 years in front of large CRTs while wearing a radiation monitor.
When no one showed any sign of radiation the monitoring ceased. Did pick
up
some radiation from unrelated sources, but nothing from the CRTs.

Probably getting more radiation from the ionization smoke detector on the
ceiling of my den! Not to mention all the natural sources - bananas for
example.


There is a lot of lead in that CRT glass. That stops the X rays rather
nicely.

So I guess the fellow is saying that there is absolutely no effects. And
guarantees it also. I'm impressed by the level of confidence he has.

The only use of the word guarantee I see it the foregoing is "because I
guarantee it is way more a health risk than little wireless devices." in
reference to CRT X-rays.

But the bannanas and granite countertop in the kitchen might be a problem.

Don't forget the radioactive potasium in your heart.
