Question : i put laptop on my chest all the time i work at list 8 hours every day doctor is it harmful in any way?
Brief Answer:
No, It is not safe
Detailed Answer:
Hello There
After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that yes it can be although there is no radiation injury but it can cause thermal injury to the skin due to heat produced by laptop which can lead to burns .
It’s advisable and always recommend to keep the laptop on table if you are working on it for longer duration.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
