365Telugu.com Online News, July 27th,2023:Once upon a time yellow bulbs were used in homes. But with the advancement of technology, scientists invented a new type of bulb called CFL which stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamp.
Its light is white. It has a slight blue tint. When they are lit at night it looks like day.
In addition, they consume less electricity compared to yellow bulbs. This is the reason why the government is also encouraging it. But there are two sides to everything, on the one hand this CFL has many advantages. On the other hand it also has disadvantages. Some researches have revealed that its light causes problems like cancer in humans.
What does the research say?
A research report by Abraham Haim, professor of biology at Israel’s Hafifa University, was published in the journal ‘Chronobiology International’. In this report, Professor Abraham Haim says that when the blue light emitted by CFLs falls on our body, it reduces the hormone melatonin produced in our body.
In fact, melatonin is a hormone that protects women from breast cancer. In the same report, several studies also revealed that women who slept with CFL bulbs on at night had a 22 percent higher risk of prostate cancer.
What did the German scientists say.. ?
German scientists also raised serious questions about CFL. For example, Andreas Kitchener of the Federation of German Engineers says that CFL bulbs emit toxins such as strain, phenol and naphthalene. In addition, electronic smoke accumulates around them when fired.
They are very dangerous for human body. That is why these bulbs should be used very carefully. These bulbs should not be used at all especially where there is no way for air to come and go. And these bulbs should not be lit near the head even by mistake.
