The hazards of energy-saving lamps you don't know

The hazards of energy-saving lamps that you don’t know about. Nowadays, more and more energy-saving lamps are popularized because of government subsidies. As everyone knows, these environmentally friendly green products may become the killer of environmental pollution after they are discarded. Because of manufacturing process limitations, all energy-saving lamps contain a certain amount of heavy metal mercury. Mercury pollution to the air: 'Whether it is burned or landfilled, the mercury in energy-saving lamps will cause great pollution to water and soil.' The relevant person in charge of the Hebei Provincial Environmental Protection Department said that mercury can evaporate at room temperature. If it is discarded at will, After the waste lamp tube is broken, mercury will enter the atmosphere in the form of vapor, which can instantly make the mercury concentration in the surrounding air reach mg～mg/m3. According to the regulations, the maximum allowable concentration of mercury in the air is .mg/m3 , An ordinary energy-saving lamp with a mercury content of only .mg can pollute cubic meters of air. Pollution of groundwater and soil by mercury: Although an ordinary energy-saving lamp contains only .mg of mercury, its power to pollute the environment is surprisingly large, and it may pollute the water. The consumption of energy-saving lamps in China is about 100 million. If these energy-saving lamps are treated as ordinary garbage, they will become a terrible ecological killer. If calculated on the basis of the average pollution premium of each energy-saving lamp, at least 100 million liters of water in China are polluted by mercury every year. And if mercury invades the soil, it will contaminate plants and crops. When milligrams of mercury seep into the ground, it can cause about a ton of water to be contaminated. From this calculation, if an abandoned energy-saving lamp is improperly disposed of, it may pollute ton to ton of water and the surrounding soil.
