I appeal to my readers, who want to turn this appeal to other friends with the hope to continue this happy in a virtuous chain progression. We can not let just anyone who engages in information on thorny issues and segretati jeopardizing their safety. We must act. Read the rest of this article
If the energy-saving bulbs contain mercury also those LED are not so "green" as they are described and advertised. I quote here an article from the site AltraNews
A study at UC Irvine (University of Irvine, California) shows that LED bulbs sold as safe and environmentally friendly contain high levels of lead, arsenic and other dangerous substances. The same widely used in headlights, traffic flash lighting lights, and even the festive lights. Just like hazardous compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), which contain numerous investigations have shown dangerously high levels of mercury, harmful to human health as well as for the environment. The simple incandescent bulb instead is clean and not at all toxic. The toxic material could increase the risk of cancer, kidney disease and other diseases, even if the risks are more long-term than immediate, a single exposure to a broken bulb is unlikely to cause a disease.
"I would not worry about an immediate release of steam," said Oladele Ogunseitan, flash lighting professor of public health and social ecology at UCI, principal investigator and author of the study. "But rather when these residues remain around the house, if not cleaned as it should pose a hazard. Lights should be treated as hazardous materials, and should not be disposed of as normal waste in landfills, because of the risk of leaching in soil and groundwater. "This study has shown that high-intensity red light bulbs contain a high percentage of arsenic, while the low-intensity red light eight times the amount of lead permitted by law. bulbs have small amounts of white lead, but a larger amount of nickel, potentially hazardous substance. Ogunseitan and a team of scientists from UCI and UC Davis crushed bulbs of different color and intensity, simulating acid rain in landfill conditions to produce a "worst case." Then have made precision measurements of toxic material in the resulting liquid. Though the immediate risk of a broken light bulb is low, Ogunseitan advisable for consumers to wear a mask and gloves and use a special brush when sweeping up the pieces. Teams of emergency should also use protective equipment when it comes to traffic accidents and broken traffic lights, and the material should be considered hazardous flash lighting waste. And while the bulbs to LEDs or light emitting diodes are marketed as a safer substitute of compact fluorescent lamps, which contain mercury, Ogunseitan, who is also a member of the State Department of Toxic Substances flash lighting Control, said consumers should be careful that there is "an exchange of risk with others." "We want to be sure to have things without mercury" said Ogunseitan. "That's why the search for these other potentially toxic chemicals is important." A state law that would have required an advanced test of such products has been weakened, he said. then was put on hold by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. said that the law is being revised, and it is hoped that it will be recovered within a year. Ogunseitan and his team have recently published their findings in the scientific journal, the Environmental Science and Technology, with the plan to publish further investigation of the LED lamps larger, such as those used in street lights. translation and adaptation: Daniel L - AltraNews sources: sciencedude.ocregister, flash lighting NaturalNews
