Don't sit close to the back or sides of the monitor even when it is in another room or behind a partition. Where feasible, turn off or unplug waterbed heaters and electric blankets before going to bed. Unplugging and turning these appliances off removes the electric field. Stay several feet away from all sides of a television including TVs located in another room against a wall. Move electric clocks, clock radios, and telephone answering machines at least 4 feet away from the head of the bed.
Fluorescent bulbs generate stronger fields than incandescent lamps.
Estimate 1 foot for incandescent bulbs and 3 feet for fluorescent lamps. Avoid using electric blankets and hair blow dryers. Check the background field in your home. No scientific data support definitive answers to questions about the existence or nonexistence of health risks related to electromagnetic fields. More research to produce more reliable information is needed before any conclusions can be drawn.
