Abstract

The first observations regarding the adverse effects of exposure to VDTs go back to the years following 1970. Most complaints about the negative effects of EMFs emitted by VDTs include: visual disorders, skin rashes and itching, adverse effect on the reproductive system, spontaneous abortion, low birth weight, and pregnancy disorders among VDT users. To assess the adverse effects of EMFs emitted by VDTs, 97 VDT users who spent more than 4 hours a day in front of VDTs were studied in the present research. Also, a questionnaire was used to obtain the required information.The results of the study showed that there was no significant relationship between the prevalence and intensity of the above-mentioned disorders on the one hand and the exposure to EMFs emitted by VDTs on the other. The results also revealed that, in certain cases, an increase in the exposure time would lead to menstrual disorders among VDT users. OR=1/199 (DI %95: 0/998-1/44). Moreover, the findings showed that an increase in the daily exposure to VDTs aggravated the users’ visual disorders. OR=1/244 (DI %95:1/507-1/027). These findings confirm the results of some of the studies conducted previously on the issue.
