Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL)
The title of mine today’s article is very much looks like any title of a Holly Wood new release. Well, I felt it same too. But I am just going to tell you something valuable about white fluorescent light emanating from a typical artificial light source.
Few years back incandescent lamps with their yellowish light were much popular then revolution came in and compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) in common terms “Energy Savers” became substitute for that incandescent lamps. The compact fluorescent lamps produce a very humble, polite and white light which is suitable almost for everyone.
But very few persons know the blackness behind this white light. As the Cfls used a few amount of Mercury for its operation therefore users have to take much care about handling it. Such as do not break it because the mercury at high exposure with elemental level of 1.1 to 4.4 mg/cm, if inhaled or absorbed through skin and mucous membrane due to its neurotoxin effect it could harm the
1. Kidneys
2. Brain ( and can also cause the followings)
3. Chest Pain
4. Cough
5. Impairment of Pulmonary Function
As we all know that the modern land fields have been made to buried the wastage produced by all of us, But the mercury which minor used in the Clfs do not tossed in to the land fields and remain dangerous for the soil , water, and environment.
So, particularly keep children away from waste / out of order Clfs. And believe me I am not against the manufacturers or the users but I believe it is my responsibility to share you the safety measurements to handle the Clfs through this forum. Thanks.
