CFL Bulb UV Exposure FlawA study by the State University of New York at Stony Brook revealed that manufacturing flaws in some compact fluorescent bulbs can lead to potential UV exposure. Compact fluorescent bulbs, which have become popular in recent years as the result of new federal efficiency standards, are an energy-efficient alternative to the common incandescent bulb. But due to manufacturing flaws, they could expose skin to the damaging effects of UV light, potentially leading to skin cell damage and possibly cancer....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/researchers-find-potential-uv-exposure-risk-from-compact-fluorescent-bulbs/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
