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.

Yeah, and trees make CO2 so they are responsible for global warming. ;^)

They do? All this time I was certain that trees produced oxygen.

During the daylight hours, trees and other plants do make oxygen. At
night, in the dark, they do consume some of the oxygen--however, there
is a net gain; i.e. they do "make oxygen."

We're both right, Dave. Trees produce CO2 or O2 depending on the time
of day. I can smell the changeover as it is getting dark and the trees
shift.

My trees only shift in a heavy wind, Mike. Now I have this video stuck
in my head of you sniffing the output of trees at twilight. ;-)

The XYL says I look kinda like a dog, sniffing at the air. Probably is
a litle disturbing to watch! ;^)
