Are Fluorescent Lights Safe?


March 9, 2009 

Never lose a chance of saying a kind word.
William Thackeray

In his article, "Shedding Some Light on Lighting
<http://mail.ccie.com/go/eed/3158> ," in the March/April 2009 issue of
Exchange (which can be viewed in its entirety on the Exchange web site
<http://mail.ccie.com/go/eed/3158> ), Adam Neugebauer responded to the
question, "Should I be concerned about mercury exposure from fluorescent
lights?" In the article he concluded:

"In spite of this slight tarnish [see full article], however, I still love
CFLs. I love that they use about a quarter of the electricity of traditional
incandescent bulbs. I love that they last up to ten times longer than
incandescent. And now I love that, according to the EPA, even though they
contain mercury, their use still leads to lower amounts of this hazardous
material being released into the environment than with incandescent, which
contain no mercury. This is because power plants, which release mercury as a
byproduct, must produce additional electricity to meet the needs of the
less-efficient incandescent lights. Oh, and did I mention that I love CFLs?"
