Energy-saving lamp radiation items are not mandatory

Recently, the problem of electromagnetic radiation of energy-saving lamps has attracted public attention. According to reports from Shanghai TV Station, most of the energy-saving lighting fixtures in use, the electromagnetic radiation within one meter exceeds the current "electromagnetic radiation protection regulations" of the environmental protection department, and may cause adverse effects. However, in the production field, there is a lack of corresponding specifications, and there is also an absence of an emission value label on the packaging of energy-saving lamps. Experts called for the introduction of standards as soon as possible, regulate the industry, it is recommended not to use energy-saving light bulbs on bedside lamps, lamps.

Surprised

Energy-saving lamps emit excessive electromagnetic radiation and there is no value on the packaging

According to a report from Shanghai TV Station, the reporter purchased 10 brands of energy-saving lamps from formal channels, and requested senior engineers from the Environmental Monitoring Technology Center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection to use Yuanyi's professional equipment for testing. In an ordinary office environment, the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the instrument is 1v/m. The engineer turned the instrument on the energy-saving lamp 10 cm away from the energy-saving lamp, and the instrument immediately issued an alarm sound. The display showed 380v/m. The engineer took the instrument to 1.5 meters and the radiation value dropped to a dozen. The engineers also tested the energy-saving lamps of other brands one after another. As a result, the radiation value was generally above 200v/m. According to the “Protection of Electromagnetic Radiation Protection” of the State Environmental Protection Agency at the time in 1988, the public exposure limit was 40v/m.

In order to ensure the authority, the reporter of the TV station invited Yao Yu, director of the Center for Physical and Environmental Analysis of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to inspect several brands of energy-saving lamps. The results of close-range electromagnetic radiation are still generally excessive, and the radiation value of one of the energy-saving lamps is 1500- Bounces in the range of 1600v/m, which is 40 times the specified value. Experts from the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Chinese Academy of Sciences believe that energy-saving light bulbs should not be used on desk lamps and bedside lamps, and do not learn from the energy-saving lamps for a long time.

Yesterday, the reporter visited a number of supermarkets in Nanjing and found that the energy-saving lamps were in normal sales. The reporter picked up a Philips energy-saving lamp on the shelf. The radiation value and the safe use distance were not marked on the packaging box.

Is it harmful to the human body?

Experts: There are hidden dangers to health

Zhu Xiaohua, a doctoral tutor at the School of Electro-optics at Nanjing University of Science and Technology, said that the old fluorescent lamps use rectifiers to boost the 50-Hz AC power and then use it as light energy. In the process of boosting, it will inevitably consume some energy. Energy-saving lamps convert AC power to DC power. Energy-saving lamps are relatively small and have low energy consumption, but they are not perfect. There is a link in the work through the oscillator. Electromagnetic waves that oscillate at high frequencies can cause electromagnetic radiation pollution.

Electromagnetic radiation is not noticeable, but if the public is close to the AM radio and the mobile phone is near, it is easy to find that the machine generates noise and affects normal work. And electromagnetic radiation will also affect the normal operation of the pacemaker and pose a threat to people with heart disease. Electromagnetic radiation also has hidden dangers to the health of ordinary people. The specific hazards need further quantitative analysis. Zhu Xiaohua said that electromagnetic waves can cause pollution to the power grid through coupling, which may cause abnormality in other precision electrical appliances on the power grid. He believes that preventing electromagnetic radiation from contaminating the grid can be achieved by installing qualified filters.

Manufacturer: Do not do radiation detection

Yesterday, the reporter contacted the head of the Philips Marketing Department. He said that relevant reports have been seen that the electromagnetic radiation of energy-saving lamp products is an issue that the entire industry needs to pay attention to. Currently, Philips' lighting products not only meet China's relevant mandatory standards, but also comply with the standards of the International Electrotechnical Commission. Energy-saving lamp radiation will cause health problems, and how much electromagnetic radiation will cause harm to humans. At present, there is no official standard. “This is not a question of one or two brands, but rather an issue for the entire industry.” He believes that if regulations are formulated, formal inspection agencies of the state will need to intervene, and the risks of electromagnetic radiation, testing equipment, environment, and methods must be strictly enforced. Provisions.

Previously, when Shanghai TV station interviewed the technicians of Beijing Panasonic Lighting Company, the technicians also said that the energy-saving lamps did not do electromagnetic radiation inspection before leaving the factory. "Energy-saving lamp national mandatory standards are only electromagnetic compatibility requirements, energy-saving lamps in the work can not affect other electrical appliances. Lamps on the human body, the relevant state departments are discussing, there is no mandatory requirements."

Energy-saving lamp problems

Should promotion be prudent?

In November 2011, five ministries and commissions including the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the road map for the gradual elimination of incandescent lamps in China. From November 1st of that year, according to the size of the power, it was divided into five stages and gradually banned the import and sale of incandescent lamps for general lighting. This allowed energy-saving lamps to have a broad living space, and more and more companies launched energy-saving lamp products.

Can this year, the energy-saving lamp market is good and bad, a number of places found that well-known brands of energy-saving lamps do not meet the national energy-saving standards, more and more experts call for regulation of energy-saving lamp market. Today, energy-saving lamps are referred to as "electromagnetic radiation exceeding standards," and should not be used in close proximity, leaving many consumers concerned about energy-saving lamps.

Yesterday afternoon, the reporter contacted the staff of the Energy Conservation Department of the Nanjing Municipal Commission of Industry and Information Technology. The staff member who surnamed Zhang said that for the first time, he had heard that the electromagnetic radiation of energy-saving lamps exceeded the standards, and he would report to the higher authorities. As for the prospects for the promotion of energy-saving lamps, he believes that it is not appropriate to rashly decide and require the relevant departments to conduct more rigorous arguments.
