       Another week, another chance to forget to bring the Geiger counter to ewaste

       @foone Friend got one surplused from a university. It's being rehabbed for use at the local humane society, so they won't have to haul animals a couple of hours to the Big City.

       @foone nothing radioactive there, unless you wire it up!

       @foone Yes. To make sure it’s one of those atomic sources of ionizing radiation, those that you have to switch on, not one of the nuclear always-on sources.

       @foone hmm...is it just high voltage electrons hitting the phosphors generating the x rays?"CRTs can emit a small amount of X-ray radiation; this is a result of the electron beam's bombardment of the shadow mask/aperture grille and phosphors, which produces bremsstrahlung (braking radiation) as the high-energy electrons are decelerated. The amount of radiation escaping the front of the monitor is widely considered to be not harmful.'
