Document Summary
Emit radio frequency radiation at levels that may interfere with various types of wireless technology. Produce transients that contribute to poor power quality on electrical wires. There is concern about electromagnetic inference (emi) associated with intermediate frequencies (if); if"s are biologically active and can have adverse health effects. Not all cfl"s are the same, some generate more dirty electricity than other. Teacher who taught in high units of dirty electricity had a 5-fold increase risk of cancer. Teachers who never taught i the classroom had a much lower ratio. Cfl bulbs generate almost 300 gs unites of dirty electricity; clearly a house full of such bulbs could have serious health consequence. Studies with diabetics and people who have ms repot and improvement in symptoms that coincide with improve power quality in homes. German scientist claimed several carcinogenic chemicals and toxins were realized when. Cfls were switched on, including phenol, naphthalene and styrene.
