CFL light bulbs give off electromagnetic radiowave pollution

This link from a 2009 blog article gives more details on the radiation emissions that CFL light bulbs give off. My earlier post (the first one on this blog) detailed tons of health problems people get from these bulbs. Exposure to the electromagnetic emissions might explain the symptoms some people get.

In the same vein, my electric power company, Alliant Energy, FINALLY included a paragraph in their circular suggesting the use of LED bulbs for everyday functions. Before, the utility ONLY promoted CFL bulbs, and without any warnings about the mercury or electromagnetic emissions (which one would not expect, since it might detract from their marketing aims).

Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs revisited

The very first blog column I ever posted explored the health problems and impact of compact flourescent bulbs in light of the U.S. government's mandate to phase out incandescent light bulbs. Agencies like Focus on Energy in Wisconsin continue to push the dubious devices. Here are my early posts showing the darker side of these bulbs:

An additional downside of CFLs is that some of them give off high frequencies that can get on home wiring and broadcast in living spaces, which can affect people's health.
