No one knows for sure about the effects of electromagnetic radiation from iPads, cell phones, etc. You could not place it directly on yourself by using an iPad stand/holder and placing it on a table away from your skin to watch your shows.
The majority of the radiation comes from the wireless connection.If you use your ipad for watching a movie from internal memory, you could turn off the Wifi-signal
Hi
I reccomend using a laptop tray that can block radiation.
try looking up radblocker or echotubez.
There are companies that have great solutions for radiation from cellphones and ipads.
