Health Issues
Some health problems are associated with incandescent lighting, but the European Commission Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) in 2008, has found the only property of compact fluorescent lamps that could pose an added health risk is the ultraviolet and blue light emitted by such devices. This radiation could aggravate symptoms in people who already suffer rare skin conditions that make them exceptionally sensitive to light. They also stated that more research is needed to establish whether compact fluorescent lamps constitute any higher risk than incandescent lamps.

Famous quotes containing the words health and/or issues:
“The greatest public health threat for many American women is the men they live with.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“The “universal moments” of child rearing are in fact nothing less than a confrontation with the most basic problems of living in society: a facing through one’s children of all the conflicts inherent in human relationships, a clarification of issues that were unresolved in one’s own growing up. The experience of child rearing not only can strengthen one as an individual but also presents the opportunity to shape human relationships of the future.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
