Its unhealthy. Whilst almost every electronic device offgases nasty chemicals, you can use a heat recovery air to air exchanger. For example, google something like a Fantech - SH704 - Heat Recovery Ventilator. You can reverse the process to keep those nasty chemicals separate to your living space air. |

I am currently running few S2 Antminer and taking it apart and seeing what is inside indeed make me wonder is it really toxic. I had purchase a meter from ebay to test the radioactive reading. Each S2 cards resembles a graphic card and nothing more. I wonder how toxic can it be. BTW i believe 80% of electronics from the world are from China so lets not stereotype.
Thanks

I don't think its radioactive, but the air that come out from S2 antminer should have metal smell which isn't really good for human body.. |

It's not about the radiation it emits since no ionising radiation is emitted by these devices. The health hazard occurs from the chemicals released with extreme hot air. This is not like computers running normally. |

I've heard of some miner programs developed in China which can serve this purpose, not sure if they works or not.

I keep seeing people state that heating with miners is bad for your health, but with no proof presented. Proof or BS.

Whats special with this coin to get more profit? Or, as usual you are asking to "contribute to network"? |

Nice, good job. So we are fine from Electromagnetic Radiation while using miners? I am glad to hear this. |

Those who suspected and tested for electromagnetic radiation from these mining hardwares are utter FOOLs. But toxicity test, if can be done properly and effectively will help. Still it's not good to think these low-quality devices as space heaters. |

Need to know how reliable this product is. Better buy a conventional good quality heater than using these expensive hobby miners. |
