RE: fields around Computer monitors

["Neil, David M" <neildm@ID.DOE.GOV>]

I don't know the actual field strength, but the momentary field from the

degaussing coil is enough to affect the beam scan of another monitor

operating nearby.  I have also had this happen from a printer that was

placed immediately adjacent to the monitor.

Subject: fields around Computer monitors





I am trying to find information/references about the 

magnetic or electrical fields from the BACK of computer 

monitors. I had an employee of our facility call asking 

about her exposure and if there is danger in sitting about 

3 ft BEHIND someone elses monitor.



I for the life of me can't think of anything significant 

about it, but this isn't something I have really dealt with

before.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Andrew
