Good morning friends, I have a question that has been bothering me for a long time, I have a 26-inch arcade monitor in an arcade machine with glass protection, my question is how true is it that the radiation exposed by the monitor is harmful in the long term ? And if I have the protection glass, does it do something? I am approximately 70 cm from the screen, can this radiation create a cancer or tumor? I play about 1 hour a day
Thank you
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
CRT monitor tube glass contains lead, to reduce and help block out radiation in normal use. As long as the electronic boards have not been wrongly adjusted or modified, it should put out an almost not measurable amount of x-ray radiation. most boards have a circuit on them that if a certain voltage goes too high (it could possibly mean that it is producing excess x-ray radiation), it will shut off or force that voltage down to keep the levels in safe ranges.
the only real time where radiation was an issue, was back at the very start of TV manufacture, when not much about it's operation was understood.
no need to worry with anything made past about 1960.

El vidrio del tubo del monitor CRT contiene plomo, para reducir y ayudar a bloquear la radiación en el uso normal. Siempre que las placas electrónicas no se hayan ajustado o modificado incorrectamente, debería emitir una cantidad casi no medible de radiación de rayos X. la mayoría de las placas tienen un circuito que si un cierto voltaje sube demasiado (posiblemente podría significar que está produciendo un exceso de radiación de rayos X), se apagará o forzará a bajar ese voltaje para mantener los niveles en rangos seguros.
el único momento real en el que la radiación fue un problema fue al comienzo de la fabricación de televisores, cuando no se entendía mucho sobre su funcionamiento.
no hay necesidad de preocuparse por nada hecho más allá de 1960.
