Testing of the VDT's for several kinds of radiation emission was carried out by an independent testing agency, with completely negative results. As far as I can recall, the whole thing was written off as an un- fortunate statistical coincidence. At the very least, no evidence was found to implicate emissions from the VDT's as the cause. I don't know if anyone thought of looking at overall working condi- tions for stress. Unions up here have a tendency toward excessive militancy, and it's hard to sort out truth from hyperbole when working conditions are discussed. Lou Hafer SFU, Burnaby, B.C. sfucmpt!lou
