If there is, it's a scam. There is no increased danger of miscarriages
or other problems in pregnancy caused by extensive exposure to a
computer monitor. Earlier reports of clusters of miscarriages later
proved to be unrelated to the computer monitor itself, but instead
were caused by high stress levels among low-level data-input workers.
