VDTs are more frequently being used and, therefore have given rise to the problem of security among operators exposed to possible X-ray emissions. The authors report the results of a dosimetric investigation, carried out through TLD CaF2:Dy on X-ray exposure levels close to video display terminals of a data processing center. After testing the exposure percentage values and the measurements adjusted to one-year basis, the authors report that the value are generally similar to those existing in the environment even though significant values have been found in a few cases.
