Harmful Impact of Fluorescent Lamps

Science has come a long way in the past few decades. From the development of light bulbs to upgrading them into energy-efficient lighting products, scientists sure have made human life simple. They are used by everyone and found in hospitals, schools, and homes.

But there is always a cost attached with ease. These fluorescent lamps are filled with materials such as mercury. Even though these materials help in keeping the fluorescent lamps running for a long time and consume less energy, they can cause harm to the environment if they are released. This is why fluorescent bulbs, tubes, and lamps need to be handled very carefully when being disposed of.
If one of these fluorescent bulbs breaks during disposal, small amounts of toxic mercury will be released. This will harm the environment. Even though the amount of mercury released is small, it is vital to remember that fluorescent lamps are created in batches of thousands a day. If the vast majority of these lamps break and their toxic mercury impacts the environment, lots of damage is done.

There is no doubt that small amounts of mercury in a single bulb have little to no effect on the surroundings. But if these bulbs break or for some reason the contents of the bulbs leak, then it can cause significant damage to the environment. The State of Wisconsin recognizes the implications of the harmful impact of fluorescent lamps on the environment. Keeping this in mind, awareness campaigns are conducted regularly throughout the year. There are many outlets, both governments based and in the private sector throughout the state that accept old fluorescent lamps and recycle them.

It is vital to remember that recycling fluorescent lamps is mandatory. Any individual who fails to do so may face legal implications in Wisconsin

2. Wrap it in a sheet of paper or cloth.

What to do when Recycling Flourescent Lamps?

If one of your fluorescent lamps stops working, it is best to wrap it up in a sheet of paper or cloth and put it in a labeled box. Collect all the bulbs in that box with time. When you have collected more than 20 lamps or bulbs for recycling purposes, it is best to reach out to a local organization (governmental or in the private sector).
