Just so you’ll know. Every wire that has electric current passing through it generates a magnetic field. How do you think electromagnets work? If you think monitors don’t generate magnetic fields, try holding a compass nearby.
Just so you’ll know. Normal dust (particles from clothing, carpets, paper, hair) is not affected by magnetic fields. The magnetic fields in a monitor do not interact with surrounding dust of
non-magnetizable, usually non-metallic substances.
Otoh: There are strong electrical fields that actually do interact with non-conductive dust particles (seee: static electricity) from the monitor’s environment that cause problems once they build layers (heat isolation) or become conductive (at least for high voltages) after the permanent heat treatment inside the monitor.
What I think is that maybe you should read a book on electronics before you expend effort proving your ignorance.
I think you should follow your own carefully specified advice.

From a technical standpoint, three factors are involved in montitor
aging.
magnetic fields attribute dust particles to components
Only magnetic particles. I think you’re thinking of electric fields.
aging of electronic components degrade performance
color phosphor patterns applied to the inside face of the monitor age
and
emit with less intensity
