Everyone are looking forward to save
energy and money. Most of us are replacing the standard bulbs with new
energy saving bulbs. These so called energy saving light bulbs are said
by the companies that are environmentally-friendly.
This is not true and these new
generation bulbs are in fact so toxic that U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency has a protocol and advises to follow some steps if such a bulb
breaks. This is due to the gases it releases when breaks.
If the bulb brakes inside (indoor),
these lights discharge 20 times more than the tolerable mercury into the
air, as indicated by a study directed by analysts from the Fraunhofer
Wilhelm Klauditz Institute for German’s Federal Environment Agency.

Energy Efficient Light Bulbs Can Cause:
- Cluster headaches
- Dizziness
- Birth defects
- Miscarriages
- Migraines
- Seizures
- Fatigue
- Anxiety
- Inability to concentrate
Energy Efficient Bulbs Cause Anxiety, Migraines, and Even Cancer. Reasons to Go Back To Incandescent Bulbs
These bulbs contain mercury.
This is a strong neurotoxin that is
particularly risky and harmful to youngsters and pregnant ladies. It is
particularly poisonous to the mind, the sensory system, the liver and
the kidneys. It can likewise harm the cardiovascular, and disrupt the
immune system. It can prompt tremors, nervousness, a sleeping disorder,
memory loss, migraines, malignancy and Alzheimer’s .
These bulbs can also cause cancer.
Another study performed by Peter Braun
at Berlin Germany’s Alab Laboratory found these lights contain noxious
cancer-causing agents that could bring about disease:
- Phenol, a somewhat acidic lethal white crystalline strong, acquired from coal tar and utilized as a part of compound production..
- Naphthalene, an unstable white crystalline compound, delivered by the refining of coal tar, utilized as a part of mothballs and as a crude material for substance fabricate
- Styrene, an unsaturated fluid hydrocarbon, acquired as a petroleum byproduct
Furthermore they emit a huge measure of UV beams.
These light bulbs emit UV-B and hints of
UV-C radiation. It is for the most part perceived that UV-radiation is
unsafe for the skin (can prompt skin cancer) and the eyes. The radiation
from these bulbs straightforwardly assaults the immune framework, and
moreover harms the skin tissues enough to keep the best possible
formation of vitamin D-3 out of the question
Taking everything into account, these
bulbs are toxic to the point that we shouldn’t place them in the
standard junk. They are family dangerous waste. In the event that you
break one up in a house, you should open the greater part of your
windows and entryways, and get out of the house for no less than 15
minutes to minimize your exposure to the noxious gas. They are most
harmful to pregnant women, fetus and children
