I don't think that the original posting reached me, but I would like
to mention that there is a growing concern in Denmark and Sweden,
that CRT's may impose birth defects, embroy damages, and may lead to
miscarriages when pregnent women are working with them.  Some even
state that they may decrease the furtility of men and women.

It think that the Swedish helth organizations recommend that pregnant
women completely avoid working with CRT's, or at least use them less
than two hours a day, and the Danish labour unions recommend the
same.
