Emissions from Televisions

["Peter Fundarek" <p.fundarek@utoronto.ca>]

Can anyone provide some quick information?  I have been requested by 
a local station to discuss emissions from TV sets, particularly since 
the newer flatbed ones are described as being "low emission".

I have looked through the information in NCRP 54 and got some useful 
information but that was published in 1977.  Any changes or newer 
sources of info since then?

I know that the emissions are primarily due to non-ionizing radiation 
associated with the flyback transformer.  I have equipment to monitor 
this.  However, they seem to want to discuss x-ray potential.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
