ECO-FRIENDLY CANCER BULBS
DIPSHIT GOVERNMENT REGULATORS DO IT AGAIN
Exposure to CFL bulbs because of government ban on incandescent  bulbs will lead to skin damage and skin cancer, and inhalation of highly toxic fumes according to scientists.
A damning new study conducted by German scientists has found that so-called energy saving light bulbs contain poisonous carcinogens that could cause cancer and should be “kept as far away as possible from the human environment,” but Americans will be forced to replace their traditional light bulbs with toxic CFLs ahead of a government ban set to take effect at the start of this year. “German scientists claimed that several carcinogenic chemicals and toxins were released when the environmentally-friendly compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) were switched on, including phenol, naphthalene and styrene,” Money saving, compact fluorescent light bulbs also emit high levels of ultra violet radiation, according to a new study. Research at Long Island’s Stony Brook found that the bulbs emit rays so strong that they can actually burn skin and skin cells.“The results were that you could actually initiate cell death,” said Marcia Simon, a Professor of Dermatology. “They can also cause skin cancer in the deadliest form, and that’s melanoma,” said Dr. Rebecca Tung. In every bulb that researchers tested they found that the protective coating around the light creating ‘phosphor’ was cracked, allowing dangerous ultraviolet rays to escape. Homeowners expressed concern over the effect that the bulbs could have on children. Stony Brook researches advised that customers exercise caution and stay a minimum of two feet away from the bulbs at all times. The study, conducted by Peter Braun at the Berlin’s Alab Laboratory, led the scientists involved to warn that the bulbs should only be used sparingly, in areas with good ventilation, and “definitely not in the proximity of the head,” due to the danger of the electrical smog CFL bulbs generate impacting human health. The EPA released a three page guide in January on how to properly clean up and dispose of a broken CFL bulb. The steps include not only "shutting off the central forced air heating/air conditioning system" before cleaning up the debris but also different types of procedures for cleaning up different types of surfaces. In fact, the EPA even suggests after cleanup and disposal to "continue to air out the room where the bulb was broken and leave the H&AC system shut off for several hours." After vacuuming is completed, keep the H&AC system shut off and the window or door to the outside open for several hours. LED bulbs are safe and should not be confused with CFL bulbs.l
