Computer Monitors are well known to emit electromagnetic fields. They emit low-frequency magnetic fields of around 60-Hz. They are believed to present a greater exposure risk than a televsison because users sit much closer to their screens. Also, the commonly held belief that LCD computer monitors emit less EMF radiation than other types of monitors, is not completely true. LCD monitors require less power to run, but LCDs can emit high levels of electric fields. Backlit LCD displays can emit high levels of electric and magnetic fields. Although its questionable that the amount of magnetic and electric fields emitted by a computer monitor could pose a health risk. There is solid proof that exposure to higher levels of these fields, such as living near power lines, can cause major health risks.

Higher level EMF exposure can cause many types of cancer such as, leukemia, breast cancer and brain cancer. There is even some evidence that it may cause miscarriages and even suicides. One mechanism that electromagnetic fields could damage our health is by generating excess amount of ozone in the air we breath. Ozone generates free-radicals and is very caustic. It is good at keeping radiation out of our atmosphere, but it is very toxic when we breathe it into our bodies.
