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.
