Energy saving lamps are very popular, and there is no wonder, they have high rate of luminous efficiency, long life cycle, small expense of the consumed electricity, etc. But along with advantages the energy saving lamps conceal in themselves and danger: they do serious harm to human health and loss the environment.
Energy saving lamps provoke development of oncological diseases including breast cancer
This lighting equipment radiates ultraviolet in the doses exceeding acceptable therefore there is damage of skin cells, their dying off and also development of melanoma. Such influence is especially dangerous to gentle children's skin.
There are two types of energy saving lamps: fluorescent and collagenic, the first are considered as the most dangerous.
Besides, energy saving fluorescent bulbs imitate daylight (they radiate bluish light) and if to be at home in zone of their action in late evening hours, it can lead to violation of production of melatonin. It appears, such light oppresses production of this hormone. And melatonin protects from development of breast cancer and other oncological diseases.
Energy saving lamps – the cause of blindness
That LED lamps radiated white light, in them yellow and blue diodes are used. Light waves of the blue diode in the properties are very similar to ultra-violet: they are considered as unhealthy eye. In zone of the increased risk there are office workers, children (their chips are still insufficiently created, and therefore cannot cope with light filtration) and all those who long time stay under this light. Also blue light considerably worsens condition of the person having age makulyarny dystrophy of retina. You should not lose sight also of the fact that LED lamps make the impact in one thousand times exceeding from classical glow lamps on eyes.
Dangerous radiation
Energy saving lamps, irrespective of their power, - source of radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation (dangerous concentration is observed in radius of 15 cm from lamp cap). So if the energy saving dot lamp is established somewhere under ceiling to get to zone of high electromagnetic radiation the chance is small. But here it is dangerous to be in close proximity to desk lamp and nochnichok: such energy saving negatively affects the state of health. Though the electromagnetic radiation in itself does not cause specific diseases, but it can be the catalyst of diseases of cardiovascular, nervous and immune systems of organism.
Electromagnetic radiation of energy saving lamps weakens the immune system of organism because of what its resilience to viruses decreases.
Mercury content
One more danger which is concealed in themselves by energy saving lamps, - mercury. That is why the "fused" bulb cannot just be thrown out in garbage can: it demands special utilization. It is known that each energy saving lamp contains from 3 to 5 mg of mercury in the form of vapors. If it breaks in not aired room, concentration of mercury in air will exceed maximum permissible norms by 140-150 times.
