low consumption light bulbs: They contain mercury and a short distance carcinogenic
Low bulbs are probably more harmful to human health than they are beneficial for the environment . To relaunch the Alarm also Euronews of the 16 September 2009.
Emerge various data and studies that incriminate the environmental damage due to the mercury content, but also damage from electromagnetic pollution co -responsible in the onset of tumors, as well as conditions such as headaches, electrosensitivity, poor concentration,hormonal imbalances and sleep disorder, up to epilepsy in predisposed subjects.
For several years he denounced the danger constituted by the h and mercury content in the low-consumption lamps is about 5 milligrams. mercury, recently banned from thermometers, It is an element that if ingested produces serious damage to the nervous system, But the very predictable incorrect disposal will bring him to the food chain so much so that for some time he has been present in the fish of the oceans that we eat, and the bigger they have accumulated the more.
The Commission forgot to ordinar that these lamps are completely disposed of as waste, not in the trash, because the content mercury is devastating for health, He will return to the circle to the great concrete advantage of the drug industry.
However, other scientist evidence emerge, as with mobile phones these bulbs are small environmental bombs that seriously threaten our health. They emit electromagnetic fields that at the distance of about 1 metro can encourage the onset of cancer, right where it is usually used as above the kitchen table or on the bedside tables of the room. Therefore to prohibit use in these situations, but especially in the presence of pregnant women and children as with any source of electromagnetic pollution. For some, the electromagnetic effect can also be transmitted through the electrical system due to the built -in transformer, cooperating in this to a thousand units with a transformer such as computers, television, halogen lamps, battery charger, Wi-FI etc..
But not enough of the low-energy light bulbs,being “filtered” and unnatural, In addition to the onset of headache and difficulty concentration so as to advise against their use in the offices, It would show the production of melatonin that regulates sleep by affecting hormonal balance and therefore health, So much to advise against one in the houses.
The European Commission has imposed by law, sending out production incandescent ones within the 2012, However, side effects that have never shown.
It has been said they would save a lot of energy money, reducing the consumption of fossil fuels by saving the climate, but they are very expensive to buy lamps, And then we are sure that we will not spend much more for medical treatment and for the energy consumed to treat diseases? I now I removed from the working table and the kitchen, I will pass directly to the LED. What should amortizzare bankruptcy Technology ?

I have the impression that all this news leads us to be afraid that there are interests to provoke to arms. 2007 It gave a tribute to all families kit to entice them to change them and lately in sales counters the old bulbs will retire. If these studies have been done for years, why nn the right precautions were taken?… I wonder also off are dangerous?….

Mamma Mia, but as he comes out alive?
The classic bulbs now to remove from circulation, oh and just because a blunder consuming and difficult to dispose;
Neon needless to talk; those savings to pollute and hurt ; halogen are fine but do not talk about consumption…
really you do not know how to move, everything seems wrong…
Thank communications you spin, good evening!

Referring to the First Article, It is to be signed, the second part seems very d….
Information regarding LEDs are ABSOLUTELY wrong, today are either commercially bulbs that lighting fixtures that produce light at the desired temperature Kelvin, consumption varies according to the temperature of light but with minimum values, then the yield / of the LEDs consumption compared to an incandescent lamp or fluorescent ( neon) It is strongly in favor of LED.
The duration of the LED is significantly higher, is not a piezzoelettrico ranging continuously as Fluorescent (neon), come on now…….
Certainly you have to select a quality LED product , that meets all regulations and lighting requests, Today there are good products but certainly FEW SAFE from all points of view.
At your disposal for any further information, also detailed….

Having to buy a LED lamp to put on the kitchen table I informed of any problems that may cause, and I knew that lately, in France, from studies, It showed that some LEDs can be harmful to children and people with vision problems. I would be interested to know what specifications should have led to not be harmful.
Thank you for any information that might help me understand. Mimma, Bari

What is written is misleading and not always correct.
Low consumption bulbs contain some rare gases and a minimum quantity of mercury (within the limits set by the European directives for all products containing this element) and produce a slight electromagnetic field, But the quantities and the intensity are abundant under the risk.
The color of light is not “unnatural” because you just know a little bit of lighting to know that there are 2 parameters to the color temperature and color rendering that define this physiological parameter, and there are on the market dozens of various types of springs that allow to cover virtually the same range covered by incandescent bulbs. So the problem exists only if you buy a source for example too cold type called the old “neon” which is not typically used in housing areas.
The third aspect of the LEDs …. Today the power led in circulation are affected by the same problems of the old Neon a color temperature too cold from 5000 ° K up. There are also power LEDs with color more natural temeprature (3000-3500°K) But efficiency is very low so use LED bulbs now is a bit’ drivel because she would mean illuminate homes, squares streets, etc.. with a horrible blue light almost. Also addition, LED bulbs produce depending on model, and the presence of the transformation coil an electromagnetic field.
Last question of human health.
E’ established (you look at pre example on google melatonin + light + pollution) that the blue light (that of current LED ) It is very dangerous for human health.
Therefore the eranocently incandescence lempadine a debt for the man and smash better than those with fluorescence (only as far as the environmental impact is regretted), but the European directive also cuts the over 4.5 Millions of mercury bulbs present only on Italian roads and many inefficient and dangerous similar products for the environment in favor of products with a decidedly lower environmental impact including precisely the fluorescence subject to the article.
