Re: CRTs and Radon Daughters

[AndrewsJP@AOL.COM]

First of all, don't be concerned.  The radiation at this level is immaterial, in fact it is on the screen, not in your lungs.  Think about it.  If you don't like it, wipe the screen with a sheet of that stuff you put in the dryer with the clothes to make them soft.  It will reduce the static and let you breath in more of the daughters. You might calculate the dose from the beta radiation to the skin of the face or to the eyes based on a reading at the position of the face and compare that to the permissible levels of radiation for occupational exposure. (Not really relevant, but a benchmark value.)


If you do these things, let us know the results.
