So, all peeps know that , CRTs emit ~some XRAY.
There is a consumer specification designed to limit CRT voltages, such that it meets the guideline for Non-Hazardous.
However, Professional Industrial equipment were often exempt from such regulation.
This happened to be the case for station broadcast cameras (Back in the day) that had Tiny CRT-based viewfinders.
These miniturized tubes were exempt and untested for x-ray emission guidelines. They were also Extremely CLOSE to the user, whereas CRT home TVs were usually at least a few feet off.
The Camera techs who worked these may be behind the viewfinder for 8hrs a day.
MANY of whom ended up with Brain Cancer and died mid-fourties.
MANY broadcast room techs who sat in front of Pro-Monitors often also developed early cancer.
Tp, Why u tell us this.. They don't even make CRT viewfinders no more.
Tp4 tells youses, because Consumers are ALWAYS the Last-To-Know. When they tell you Cellphone radiation is safe, Wifi is Safe, Benzene in Gasoline is Safe, Cheese is Safe, Red-Meat is Safe.
Do consult more sources before deciding to consume vast quantities of such Safe-Things.
