What conclusions can be drawn?
The electromagnetic radiation emissions from VDTs that were measured by ARPANSA are alleged to be responsible for adverse health effects among VDT operators. These allegations are not supported by either animal studies or reliable epidemiological studies. Furthermore, the emission levels from VDTs used in Australia are less (and, in most cases, very much less) than the relevant recommended exposure limit. It is therefore concluded that these emissions are not a hazard to the health of VDT operators or to the foetuses of pregnant operators.
