Sintbom Electronics Plc has decided that Santa Monica, California-based NoRad Corp’s radiation and glare VDU shield is so important that it had to have a monopoly on its marketing rights: at a poorly attended press briefing, Sintrom told of the potential health risks associated with low-frequency radiation two US studies suggest that pregnant women exposed to a VDU for more than four hours a day are 50% more likely to miscarry, but they’re not quite sure if this is due to radiation or the amount of coffee VDU users tend to get through; metering the comparative radiation emission from a typical VDU, Sintrom convinced that the shield – which costs UKP105 – works, but with the considerable emission from laser printers, photocopiers, even hairdryers, electric blankets and TV, wouldn’t it be better if NoRad re-designed the product to be worn as a protective suit with matching balaclava?
