And what about the radiation coming off a telly ?

A certain amount of electromagnetic radiation is neccessary to
fulfill its essential purpose, but does any other get through the
shielding, and the metre or more of air between the telly and the
viewer?
T
he very esrly microwave ovens leaked microwave radiation and this was the
cause of cataracts (among other disorders) in people who were regularly
exposed to this leaked radiation. I remember the old story of two young
typists in an office somewhere in the USA developing cataracts -- one in the
left eye, the other in the right. Apparently their boss had installed a
microwave oven in the office so that the staff could quickly prepare hot
lunch snacks. The oven had been positioned between the desks of the two
unfortunate typists. I believe that the radiation containment of microwave
ovens is now vastly improved. Microwave radiation is another name for very
short wave radio waves. I don't know what wavelengths mobile phones operate
on, but I guess that they aren't very different from that radiation
produced by microwave ovens, albeit phone radiation will be of much lower
energy.
