The energy efficient light bulbs in your house are affecting yours and your neighbour's health.

THIS IS A MUST SEE.

*Study warns of green light bulb 'Electrosmog'*
http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss_news/Study_warns_of_green_light_bulb_electr...

Swiss health officials are recommending that people stay at least 30 centimetres away from energy-saving light bulbs, over electrosmog concerns.

A study has measured the electric fields emitted from these lamps and concluded that a certain distance is needed to keep well under international limits.

Low- and medium-frequency magnetic and electric fields can induce electric currents in the body which, above a certain frequency, can stimulate the nerves and muscles.

The Swiss study, undertaken for the federal offices of health and energy, found that medium-frequency electric fields were primarily responsible for these currents. Depending on the lamp, current field densities in the immediate vicinity reach 10-55 per cent of the exposure limit.

As this weakens with distance, health officials have recommended as a personal precaution to maintain a gap of at least 30 centimetres, for example from a desk lamp that is being used for a long time.

Switzerland started to phase out the least efficient categories of light bulbs at the beginning of last year and will officially follow the European Union's line on 100W lamps from September 1, 2010.

From 2012, only bulbs meeting or exceeding mid-category D requirements will be on sale - the equivalent to banning conventional light bulbs.

  • "They come highly recommended by your government."

    That was my first clue they were bad.

  • Um no, the government didn't recommend them, government told us we are going to use them or else.

  • Heavy Electricity - Like being hit over the head by a ton of invisible lead soup

  • @ThereAreNoUnionThugs --

    Who on earth would believe anyone with a screen name like "ThereAreNoUnionThugs" ?

  • @jonyellis dude cfl are bad , one in my house was leaking , i only discovered this after watch one of these videos taking about them causing a rash, well my mom has this weird rash on her face , look at the bulb next to her bed , cfl with a small crack in the base of the glass , i could taste fumes when i took it out , on like a incandesent bulb cfl still light up even if there broke , how often do you check a light that light up and look to see if it is broke . crack one plug it in.

  • And if you are having trouble keeping track and worry because the government told you you had to change them, good. Be skeptical of your government.

    But look at who is calling this a conspiracy: They are from the government too. The extreme right wing side of the USG. If you track it the origin is the John Birch Society. Their goal is to continuously demonize USG and defend corps to start a right-wing revolution. They want to kill all environmentalism. What other misinfo are they behind?

  • So if you are really worried you could paint the bulb w/UV opaque paint or put a UV opaque sheet between bulb and you.

    Look at Havas' publications- do it for any scientist b4 you believe them. Notice she has no papers in BEM- the top journal in the field. She has never published the EM emission spectrum of the bulbs- the first thing a serious scientist would do.

    Khazova and O'Hagen did this in 2008. Havas is behind and inventing problems instead of following the truth.

  • 0:48 "CFL's produce dirty electricity"; What is she talking about; CFL's consume electricity they do not produce it.

    What actually happens is the resistance/impedence/capacitan­ce of the CFL is a complex function, and so the 60 hz current passing through the bulb looks different than the wall.

    This could cause very weak MF fluctuations and RF waves. Compared to your wifi its nothing.

    The real problem is the UV emission, its like the sun it causes cancer SLOWLY.

  • @jonyellis Oh really. Enlighten us then you fucking prick. I have done my research and concur with this report. Go live under a pylon and see what happens to your health

  • electrosmog is like the sunspots, but micro-mini !

  • What a load of fucking bullshit. Anyone that listens to this shit is a complete retard. The poster of the video is the biggest retard of them all. I pity you people.
