BERLIN: Energy saving bulbs may help cut down electricity bill, but it can take a toll on health.
Fears have been reignited about the safety of energy saving light bulbs after a group of scientists warned that they contain cancer-causing chemicals. Their study has found that these energy saving bulbs emit cancer-causing chemicals when switched on.
Scientists in Germany have claimed that energy saving bulbs should not be left on for long periods of time or placed close to a person”s head because they release poisonous materials.
The German study has shown that the chemicals are released as a form of steam. 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.
