How much harmful radiation do gaming PCs/desktop Pcs emit?

I have a gaming PC and the IO shield is missing a few tabs--I heard that these tabs are used to prevent electromagnetic interference. Can I get harmful radiation from not having some of the tabs? The PC sits in a metal case a foot or two away from me, and it has a WiFi adapter.

The tabs are part of what effectively makes up a Faraday cage, to prevent the computer suffering from electromagnetic interference.

Computers do not emit 'harmful radiation' in any meaningful sense.

Scare tactics & "fear, uncertainty & doubt" [FUD] add apparent 'truths' with no real scientific basis whatsoever.
