Please refer to my letter in March "87 Byte, the VOLUMES of data
published in "The Health Physics Journal," and the Government studies on
radiation and CRTs. There is NO radiation danger from CRTs!

If you live or work in a well-insulated stone building, your CRT will
attract Radon gas, which may nuke you when you breath it. The data are
not all in yet regarding the radiological dangers of Radon.
