Shoot, I mistyped-I meant to type "photon". There is radioactive photon
waves shooting out of the electron guns. The lead is embedded in the glass
to protect you from the photons. Any magnetic field is radioactive. CRTs
also have lead in the soldering, the capacitors, and often lead is sprayed
on the boards as a fire retardant.
Time to head back to physics class but stay awake this time.
No, magnetic fields are not radioactive.
Yes there is lead in the solder (although it's been / being replaced).
There may be some small amount in the caps but not much. It isn't
sprayed on the boards, that would be nuts.
While current theory says that light exists both as a wave and a
particle you usually refer to it as one or the other, not both as in
"photon waves". In any event they don't come out of the electron
gun(s) but from the screen when the electron strikes the screen.
