Abstract
Chronic irradiation by the video terminal of a personal computer leads to the acceleration of sexual maturation and premature termination of the reproductive function, decreases the nocturnal level of melatonin , the content of diene conjugates and schiff bases in blood serum of f emale rats and does not affect the intensity of blood serum chemilumin escence in male rats. The data obtained indicate that the irradiation by the personal computer video terminal has a marked biological effect and may affect adversely the health of users.
