And if so, where would it primarily come from – the monitor, or the computer itself. Also, if it is a laptop, will lying down with the laptop on your chest/stomach pose any significant health risks?

The best bet, to cut through all the special interest groups that spout propaganda around “radiation” issues, is ( I think ) to ask ” Is there any evidence of widespread problems with the use of these bits of equipment?”
Production of computers ( and TV’s – they radiate from their screens just as much as computers ) runs now into the 1000’s of millions…. a vast number, with some remarkable exposure times racked up by a lot of people. And, despite endless looking, the epidemiologists cannot find any link to suggest em radiation from household appliances is any kind of a risk ( except tanning lamps ).
Sure, my brother-in-law’s daughter developed cataracts after playing computer games for 4 months solid…….. quite sad but the other million folk who played for longer and didn’t have their eyes go funny. Were her eyes not going to cloud over anyway, and nothing to do with the computer?? We can’t know but we do know that if there were a lot of them, we would find out.
Then there is the mechanism…… how would something as feeble as the em radiation from appliances, cause any health problems? The energy isn’t enough to cause chemical changes, or the correct frequency to induce vibrational heating. And historically people have been subjected to massive does of all sorts of radiation ( all those early TVs and those big brick cell phones ) and there was no epidemic.
I’m closing in on being dead, after a long life of exposure to all sorts of stuff ( including a childhood in one of the world’s most polluted environments.) and I seem to have had no ill effects. That is an anecdote – it isn’t worth the phosphor dots its glowing on. I’m convinced there is ( and never has been ) no danger from low frequency EM radiation. You have to gather your own evidence and decide for yourself. Good luck.
