ALL Day Exposure to UV light.... Good or Bad

[Deepgreenlighting]

Here is some facts that I'm sure you havent heard about or really even cared to think about. Its UV light being flooded on your bodies all day, every day while at work and NOW with CFL's... even at home. There are all kinds of issues related to UV light and over exposure. Just a quick Reminder... LED's do not have UV lighting. Here is a blurb from the Article I am reading.

 

“Full-spectrum, radiation-shielded, fluorescent light fixtures were installed in two windowless classrooms, and in two other identical windowless classrooms standard cool white fluorescent fixtures were used as controls. The results showed that several extremely hyperactive children with confirmed learning disabilities calmed down completely and rapidly overcame their learning and reading problems while in the full-spectrum lighted environment.

The overall average academic achievement level showed significant improvement, and a simultaneous study by the Sarasota County Dental Society showed that the children in the two rooms with the radiation-shielded, full-spectrum lighting, simulating natural outdoor daylight, developed only one-third the number of cavities in their teeth compared to the children under the standard cool white fluorescent lighting.”

From Part 2

“A provocative study appeared in the August 7, 1982 medical journal, The Lancet. Conducted by researchers at the Department of Medical Statistics and Epidemiology, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, England, and the University of Sydney's Melanoma Clinic, Sydney Hospital, Sydney, Australia, an investigation was made into the incidence of skin cancers among Australians. Challenged was the theory that sunlight exposure was directly related to the incidence of malignant melanomas.

Surprisingly, the researchers found that there was a much higher correlation between the incidence of malignant melanomas in the office workers than those occupationally and regularly exposed to sunlight! Understandably, the report provoked considerable consternation. Such findings break with long-standing traditional assumptions, such as that there is no threshold of safety, not even at the lowest levels, to ultraviolet light.”

 

 

I promise this information isnt given to you by me to scare anyone... Its to make you actually think about the issues at hand instead of just letting things pass. Its only meant to inform.

Here is the link for anyone that is interested. Its a little Nerdy kind of at the top but if you understand it.... It should really make everyone think.
