[comp.terminals] Computers/Health info wanted

cepek@vixvax.mgi.com (03/28/91)

We are interested in educating computer users about the "hazards"
of using computer equipment.  We are looking for information falling
under the general title of "Computers and Your Health".  Topics of 
interest include VDT(/color monitor) risks (eye strain, "radiation"),
keyboard concerns (carpal-tunnel syndrome [sp?]), ergonomics, EM
radiation, etc.

Ideally, we would like to find a speaker knowledgeable in this broad
area.  However, we are also interested in (recent) information and
research on these topics.  We hope to dispel some myths and rebut some
"common" misinformation, as well present the results from current studies.

Please E-mail information to me at the address below.  (Please direct
"me too" followups there as well -- thanks.)
