Just in case you may have
missed the article in lhe current
Readers’ Digest warning house
wives and mothers, about the dan
ger in handling of worn out fluor
escent light bulbs, I want to repeat
the warning.
It seems that electricians and
radio men have been aware of the
danger ever since the bulbs were
first used, but there is no warning
of any kind on the wrapping, or
instructions as to the handling and
disposal of worn out bulbs. Army
and Navy men are protected by
strict rules and regulations, but as
it is only in recent years that the
fluorescent bulb has been used to
any great extent in homes, tire
housewife has been allowed to han
dle this very dangerous item with
out instructions.
Fluorescent lamps contain a gas
composed largely of beryllium, of
which very little is known as to
the full extent of its powers. The
article mentioned goes into detail
on two cases of children who re
ceived slight cuts from the frag
ments of broken bulbs and whose
wounds refused to heal.
It also warns that when a bulb
is broken, a person should leave
tiie room immediately for several
minutes in order to allow the gas
to dissipate. The fragments then
should be covered with water and
swept into a dustpan without being
touched by the bare hands.
In New York there is a special
procedure for disposing of used
broken bulbs. They must be se
curely wrapped and plainly labeled
then set aside from other trash
to avoid danger to the men han
dling them.
Fluorescent lights are less ex
pensive to operate, and furnish a
brighter light than the incandes
cent bulbs and are being more
widely used than ever before.
There is' no reason why we should
not continue to use them, but re
member always to keep them out
of reach of children and to dispose

of them properly.
Research is underway to elimin
ate the dangerous element, but
there are many thousands of the
old type in use or stock, so it will i
be necessary to observe care in
handling for some years to come.
This information was a complete
surprise to me, and I use several
of the lamps in my home. I have
never heard it discussed by other
homemakers and thought it u
timely topic as winter approaches
and we use more lights.
