How much radiation is emitted from a 27'; TV (CRT) and can this cause hair loss or cancer.?

A close friend moved into a new place %26amp; when the movers delivered her 10 year old TV they had dropped it. There was a huge gaping hole in the side of the TV exposing the insides (tube, coils and wires). The TV still worked so she continued to use it over the next 4 years. During that time she had a change in hair texture, significant hair thinning %26amp; hair shedding (even baldness in a few areas). In documentation that came w/ the TV, there was a disclaimer about X ray precaution. It said ';the product contains critical mechanical %26amp; electrical parts that are essential for XRAY radiation protection %26amp; product safety....WARNING: to avoid possible exposure to radiation during servicing, take protective measures described in the service manual.'; She thinks there may be radiation coming out of the hole in the TV that seeped in the air %26amp; may have caused or contributed to her hair loss or could cause future health problems like cancer. Know if this is possible %26amp; what she can do. TV is now gone.How much radiation is emitted from a 27'; TV (CRT) and can this cause hair loss or cancer.?
