The only thing wrong with this story is it does not take
in to account XP Radiation.
But I guess I won't let my lab animals use my computer
anymore.

Can't! Broken link due to wrapping by your newsreader. Don't feel like copy/paste.

Is the dust on your computer toxic?

Staff Writer, CNET News.com

According to new research into chemical residue found in the dust collecting
on computers and other electronics devices, the PC that you're using to read
this story could pose a long-term threat to your health.

In a report published by Clean Production Action and the Computer TakeBack
Campaign, two groups studying environmental and health issues related to
computers, researchers contend that potentially dangerous elements of
brominated fire retardants are turning up in dust samples swiped from
computers. The research indicates that the most commonly found example of
these substances, widely used fire prevention compounds known as
polybrominated diphenyl ethers, or PBDEs, have been found to cause health
problems in lab animals.

Perhaps of greater concern is the report's contention that PBDEs, which have
been shown to present reproductive and neurological risks to animals used in
lab tests, remain persistent in the environment and contaminate food
supplies, animals and humans. The researchers claim that the PBDE threat is
greatest in North America, where women were found to have the highest levels
of the chemicals present in their breast milk, and that PBDE levels are
doubling in the U.S. population every two to five years.

This thread has now become longer than the article itself. =-)) Anyhoo, I
tried your re-built link a few times and it didn't work for me. (don't know
why) So I had to use search within the C-Net page to get the link I
submitted. After all is said and done though, I don't really know what to
make of the article itself.

omigawd that didn't work either, and is this trip really necessary?
http://news.com.com/Is+the+dust+on+your+computer+toxic?/2100-1041_3-5225799.html
(this one - from the properties sheet - prolly won't work either) No, it
doesn't work...I just tried it. 5 different URL's and none work for me.
Makes one wonder about CNet, et al. Thanks ppoatt..., what a hassle! :-)

Don't know why every one is having problems. I just did a
copy and paste of the link from my original post. It
worked. I've clean all IE temp files between now and when
I first posted it...a couple of times.
And I've got everything still set at super paranoid.

Who knows? I'm set at "super-paranoid" too, and it doesn't work for me.
Clean TIF's this morning after Cold Boot too. Oh well, read the story
already anyway, and as for this problem with the URL, I've enough other
problems to deal with already. Thanks for the story though ppoatt. ;-)
