FLUORESCENT: IS DANGEROUS INDEED; | Active Citizens Samos
Have recently come to the public information on the alleged dangers of using energy saving lamps, which in essence is nothing more than sophisticated type fluorescent lamps with the same principles and general characteristics. It is not a coincidence that someone attempted indirectly artificial separation.
First views on dangerous ultraviolet radiation is rather exaggerated. Almost every light source contains the spectrum of electromagnetic nsf international radiation of ultraviolet nsf international radiation (UV). The ultraviolet radiation from fluorescent lamps for the most part turns into visible radiation (light) and filtered from the surrounding glass. According to a scientific study report for eight hours under UV light from fluorescent lamps equivalent to only 1 min exposure to sunlight. Would recommend anyone to watch then more sun exposure and 'spa' tanning despite exposure to light fluorescent lamp.
As mention other health problems are limited to certain symptoms mainly in people suffering from certain rare diseases such as photosensitivity, epilepsy etc. There are also market additional filters that filter and reduce UV rays if necessary.
For the use of mercury collected nsf international some interesting information to be able to compare the risk of. Generally the natural sources of mercury as volcanic eruptions, are responsible for about half of the quantity of mercury into the atmosphere. The remaining 50% of anthropogenic mercury emissions is distributed in the following percentages:
65% from fossil fuels, of which coal combustion in power plants are the largest source (40% in the USA. Note: in Greece with electricity from coal plants is proportionally greater. Even including factories that run on natural gas in which the mercury has not been removed yet, burning nsf international coal produces more mercury emissions from burning oil.
8% of ore production 6.4% from cement production (large in Greece) 3.0% of garbage, trash, waste, cremations. This rate, and accordingly the area is rather nsf international larger. 3.0% caustic soda production. 1.1% for mercury batteries produce 2.0% other sources
Mercury exists and is used in batteries, thermometers, barometers, sphygmomanometers, fluorescent lamps, some neon lights, thermostats, to manufacture cosmetics like "mascara", etc. Even dental amalgam, mercury has been found in the human food chain mainly seafood. In the U.S., authorities recommend that women before and during pregnancy, even in small children, to avoid eating seafood, with a limit of one serving per week.
Mercury is a toxic substance to humans and is trying to reduce its use especially in consumer goods and appliances such as with new type thermometers, decrease quantity in fluorescent lamps etc.
Sources of contamination of nature and human well being riskier than the use of mercury in certain devices. The fluorescent lights and energy saving also significantly helps in saving energy and thus reduce hazardous gases in power plants.
General energy conservation helps reduce greenhouse gases and climate change is now seen by many scientists and governments the main danger for humanity and the planet.
We think so what is behind this misinformation and scaremongering about the energy-saving lamps; Did some interests trying to block legislation on phasing common, inefficient nsf international incandescent light bulbs, which has started to be applied in many countries;
Would not it be wiser to focus the attention and interest in the proper management of garbage and recycling; Give based on other sources of contamination such as unacceptable passive smoking which does not even apply the existing laws or the use and management what other dangerous toxic substances present in the shelf consumer.
As active citizens we need to monitor, investigate and evaluate the information we receive to not become, unwillingly of course, recipients nsf international and distributors of false and possibly malicious information.

Citizens need to be informed in detail to enable them to effectively protect nsf international the environment and not on their prosspatheia nsf international this to be borne again in a different way and to weigh and possibly their health!
