ABSTRACT
As the world is being industrialized and technological revolution continues, there has been an unprecedented increase in the number and diversity of electromagnetic sources. While all these devices have made our lives richer, comfortable and easier, they have been accompanied by concerned possible health risks due to their electromagnetic field (EMF) emission. Electro-Magnetic Fields commonly known as Non Ionizing Radiation is emitted from high power transmission lines, computer monitor/video display unit, radio waves of different frequencies (extremely low frequency to microwaves), telecommunication, satellite, radar etc. which causes health hazards to living system and environment. CRT monitors are still being used in various computer composing shops, photocopy machine shops. Their EMF health effects have not been studied in Bangladesh. The data were collected from various places in Dhaka, Bangladesh: Banani Super Market, Mohakhali, Farmgate Green Road, Nilkhet and Uttara. Both Electric and Magnetic fields were measured for CRT monitors. These results showed that in many cases the magnetic field radiated from the different sources are greater than the threshold limit.
