The article is a poor source for your argument, because it does at length argue about the health risks of X-Rays emitted by CRTs. It's more helpful to put it into perspective with other radiation sources: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/20/Radiatio... IOW, radiation dosage of using a CRT for a year comparable to ten bananas. |

> CRTs can emit a small amount of X-ray radiation as a result of the electron beam's bombardment of the shadow mask/aperture grille and phosphors. The amount of radiation escaping the front of the monitor is widely considered not to be harmful. The Food and Drug Administration regulations in 21 C.F.R. 1020.10 are used to strictly limit, for instance, television receivers to 0.5 milliroentgens per hour (mR/h) (0.13 µC/(kg·h) or 36 pA/kg) at a distance of 5 cm (2 in) from any external surface; since 2007, most CRTs have emissions that fall well below this limit.
