Question

Do computers or computer monitors cause cancer or leukemia?

Answer 1

I hope not!

Answer 2

Hi - I have leukemia. They don't honestly know what causes it, perhaps a collection of many different environmental concerns. Growing up I was exposed to 2nd hand smoke, had many broken bones and lots of stress and was always anemic. I try not to spend too much time on the computer, and I can't use a cell phone or I'll get a nose bleed, or a micro wave cause I'll get a stomach ache. I guess I am not totally sure if it is all that bad for a healthy person or if I just need to be careful since I already have it. Anyway, I hope you are well and don't have to worry too much. Take care.

Answer 3

No documented evidence exists that computers or monitors cause cancer or leukemia. There are tons of young people who use computers and monitor and if this were a cause for cancer you would expect to see far more young people with cancer. Cancer in the young remains rare.

Answer 7

While it's not been proven I do wonder this myself. Every set your cell phone down near your computer and it causes a weird noise because its electric field? I worry sometimes that it could s***w with our own bio-electric fields. Maybe I'm just paranoid though...
