More companies are producing low-emission monitors; no, they're not driven by health concerns, they say, but by market forces

Article Abstract:

Companies are moving towards producing low-emission video display terminals (VDTs) not because of health concerns, but because of market forces. Many manufacturers of VDTs state that they will be making models that emit reduced levels of very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic radiation; some companies plan to reduce even the very low frequency (VLF) emissions on their VDTs. Many of these companies believe that their current models of VDTs are safe to use but admit that the demand for reduced emissions is growing. The US industry is moving toward the conservative Swedish standard, which goes into effect in Sweden in Jan 1, 1991 and was developed by the country's National Board for Measurement and Testing.
