[net.general] VDT Health Hazards.

CSvax:Physics:piner (11/10/82)

There could be a number of hazards from VDTs, but one that I have
noticed is ozone. They turn the ventilation off here at night,
and the ozone gets dense enough that you can smell it. But really
this is just one of many problems of indoor environments, both
office and home. A lot of research is needed on the entire question
of indoor environmental hazards, and not just VDTs. They are after
all no different than television, except that you are closer to
them. I doubt much will be done as long as the current administration
is in Washington however.
