Must Read: Those White Energy Saving Bulbs In Your Home May Be The Reason For All Your Problems

Everyone are looking forward to save energy and money. Most of us are replacing the standard bulbs with new energy saving or CFL( Compact Fluorescent Light) 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 consider Incandescent or LED Bulbs? These CFL 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. 

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes on the other hand comes with dozens of advantages, like energy-saving, long life, maintenance-free and reliability. It also consumes less power as compared to the traditional incandescent bulbs. 

So, when you have to make a choice between CFL, LED or incandescent bulbs, I would suggest you go for LED as it is safer than CFL. There is no UV rays or the toxic Mercury in LEDs. It also consumes less energy /power than incandescent bulbs.
