Abstract |
Problems of general concern considered are: no evidence for health hazards due to fluorescent lighting; complaints by people working under fluorescent lighting; differences in the spectral composition of fluorescent light compared to daylight and incandescent light; effects of the discontinous spectrum of fluorescent lamps; stress caused by high-level fluorescent lighting; health effects of the skin absorption of ultraviolet and infrared radiation; skin cancer by fluorescent lighting; hazard of mercury pollution by fluorescent lamps. The explanations given dispel all popular concerns and misconceptions about the use of fluorescent lighting. |
