EMF Shielding

["Ron Amoling" <AMOLINGR@JOSLAB.HARVARD.EDU>]

Hello Radsafers - 

Here's a question for all those non-ionizing types out there.

What is the best material for shielding EMF radiation?...from the 
information I've been able to gather, it's some sort of mysterious 
alloy.

The problem we're having is a jittery computer monitor due to its 
close proximity to our electric service entering the building 
adjacent to where this monitor is being used.  Moving the monitor 
away from the source diminishes the screen jitters, but not 
completely.

A company called Field Management Services sells a "Jitterbug" 
monitor shield to take care of this kind of problem.  The problem 
with the jitterbug is that it costs around $700.00.

Just wondering if a piece of metal of some sort would solve our 
problem for cheaper.

Thanks
