Mercury-Packed CFL Bulbs Now Found to Fry Your Skin
Mike Barrett
This, of course, isn’t the only issue with compact fluorescent bulbs. In addition to having a potential negative impact on your skin, these bulbs emit toxic chemicals. In fact, only months after it was found that energy saving fluorescent bulbs
release carcinogenic chemicals into the air, a new study has found that these harmful chemicals are continually released from the bulbs over a period of weeks to months.
In addition to releasing these cancer-causing chemicals, which are far beyond the “safe” level set by the EPA, these bulbs also
release levels of mercury which also exceed the “safe” levels for humans.
