Energy-saving lamps are also carcinogenic?

Introduction: the use of such a wide range of energy-saving lamps, is it really lurking in the vicinity of the people who cause cancer?

Energy-saving lamps are also carcinogenic?

Scientists have long found that energy-saving lamps may pose a threat to human health, and even induce cancer. In 2000, the energy-saving lamp with its low power consumption, long life and other advantages of rapid access to Chinese households, by 2009 the penetration rate has reached 90%. Is so widely used energy-saving lamps, is it really lurking in the vicinity of people carcinogenic culprit? UV radiation is the leading cause of cancer in the same lighting effect under the premise, the power consumption is only ordinary incandescent lamp 1/5, life is 6 times.

Energy-saving lamps are also carcinogenic?

It is because of this advantage, the world is now widely used in energy-saving lamps. However, the discussion about its safety has not stopped. Researchers at New York State University found that the energy saving lamp is more powerful than the incandescent lamp. The researchers first measured the amount of ultraviolet light emitted by the lamp and the phosphor layer, and then compared the effects of energy saving lamps and incandescent lamps on human skin cells. It was found that the skin cells exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the energy-saving lamp were severely damaged, while the skin cells exposed to the incandescent lamp did not suffer any damage.

The researchers said that the release of UV light energy saving lamps may damage the human skin cells, premature aging, and may even lead to fatal skin cancer. Not only that, the German Alab laboratory in Berlin, scientists recently found through research, energy-saving lamps at work, will release a variety of carcinogenic chemicals, including phenol, naphthalene and styrene and other toxins. Researchers believe that if long-term use of energy-saving lamps or close contact, will increase the risk of cancer. German Federation of engineers experts said that the release of electronic energy saving lamps also pose a threat to health.
