There are indeed health effects from very strong electromagnetical fields. This was discovered by the Soviet Union (!). Somehow, I suspect they had fields magnitudes stronger than what you encounter in the western world. [Linked Image]

Old computer screens have electromagnetical fields strong enough to cause problems. I always regarded this as nonsense until I for a period of time used a workstation. My face felt "hot" when working and I got lots of pimples. I later found out I wasn't the only one experiencing problems. I've never had a problem with more modern screens, nor any other equipment. I agree with Paul that the whole thing has been blown way out of proportion.
