problem and we are always looking for the better solutions. Energy saving
Light-bulbs are one of those solutions. These light bulbs are good for saving
money and they are also good for the environment. But there is a warning that these light bulbs are toxic. This
warning comes from the U S -E n v I r o n m e n t P r o t e c t I o n A g e n c y.
These light bulbs are actually releasing a gas that is very poisonous if they break.
The most terrifying thing is that if this
bulb breaks indoors it can release twenty times more mercury in to the air
which can be very harmful, for example it can cause: anxiety, cluster headache,
migraines, fatigue, dizziness, seizures and inability to focus.
Another important thing is that this
energy-saving bulbs can actually increase the risk of cancer. Knowing all these
facts, you should stay away from these light bulbs as the experts do. The
incandesced light bulbs are much better choice according the experts.

they are saving the energy but you should know that these bulbs contain mercury
which is really bad for the children and the pregnant women because of the
neurotoxin. This may damage your nervous system, kidneys, the liver ,the brain,
reproductive system, the heart and the immune system.

There is a study developed in Berlin(Germany)
at the ‘Alab Laboratory ‘ that shows that most of these
light bulbs which are found in almost every home have are very p o i s o n o u s carcinogens and that means with using them
continuously they can eventually cause cancer.
03: Phenol
Beside mercury, bulbs contain phenol , which is an acidic crystalline solid, its
gained from coal tar and it is really toxic white-crystalline
substance.
04: Naphthalene

phenol is a white-crystalline component. This white substance Is gained by
distilling the coal tar and it is used for creating a lot of chemicals and
mothballs.

home. Instead, we use the light bulbs for many needs. But these bulbs contain
and emit U V –rays, U V –B and U V –C
types of r a d i a t i o n s. The
