At ELECTRO here in New Jersey the question of health efects
from tracker devices and CRT tubes placed alongside the head
did come up. Polhemus (Tom Jones) had presented the ISOTRACK
susyem but had no comment on the health considerations.

The only one to address it was Arden Strasser of VRI. He first stated
he didn't know any facts or of any data (sound familiar?) but that
he had been told that the fields from CRT's were very low a foot
away from the unit.... he didn't recognize that he was incriminating himself
on that one (the CRT's he showed were right up against the head).
He should have quit while he was ahead like the others, and not said
anything.
