Toxic dust found lurking in tech kit

By Lucy Sherriff

A study conducted by environmental groups in the US has found yet another
way our computers are trying to kill us.


The research found that dust on computer processors and monitors contains
several chemicals that have been linked to neurological and reproductive
disorders. The source? Brominated fire retardants, such as polybrominated
diphenyl (PBDEs).
