German biologist Johannes Schmidt, on behalf of the German Federation of Building Biology, said that savers outbreaks are harmful to health , as well as containing mercury, a metal highly toxic heavy, no one should underestimate the high electromagnetic radiation emitted by such luminaries.
According to Schmidt, the saving bulbs than the world standard for computer radiation in some cases between 12 and 40 times. also cautioned about the long-term exposure to light spectrum that generate these lamps, since it is a flickering effect "of which it knows too little."
A blue light component emanated by saving bulbs could be in some cases causing stress and insomnia because it inhibits the secretion of the sleep hormone melatonin . By contrast, the spectrum of traditional incandescent bulbs is similar to sunlight and its effects are considerably smaller.
Despite all of the above, the technology that are built-saving bulbs have improved in recent years. Originally, this type of lighting contain up to 25 milligrams of mercury, but now they added less than 5 milligrams . However, it is better to take precautions, because in order to lower cost, s many manufacturers deviate from the norm.
Without neglecting radiation and toxic elements are released to make use of such lamps can not be ignored that the overall benefits to the environment, apparently remain higher.
In the meantime, we recommend a huge caution in handling so-called energy saving light bulbs. Especially when one of them breaks , because if this happens, it releases a portion of highly toxic mercury. Experts recommend that when this comes to pass, they immediately leave the area where the mishap occurred at least 15 minutes. Subsequently, the remains of the lamp should be collected to avoid direct contact with your hands.
