7industry at a fast rate, and it’s a challenge for designers and also engineers.
8I wondered when a weakness will be revealed. Then I stomped on an article
9talking about harm in using LED technology. It looks like this magical
10technology is not so magical and eco-friendly.<p>A new study from the University of California indicates that LED lights contain
11toxic metals, and should be produced, used and disposed of carefully. Besides
12the lead and nickel, the bulbs and their associated parts were also found to
13contain arsenic, copper, and other metals that have been linked to different
14cancers, neurological damage, kidney disease, hypertension, skin rashes and
15other illnesses in humans, and to ecological damage in waterways.<p>Since then, I haven’t yet found any regulation for disposal of LED lights or any
16other regulation or standard. This might be a problem in the future. And it is a
17massive drawback. This might have quite an impact on consumer market.<p>Nevertheless, there is a potential, and I am sure the market will adapt. I also
18hope I will be reading documents regarding solution for this concern soon.<p><strong>Additional resources:</strong><ul><li><a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Recycling-and-Disposal-of-Light-Bulbs&amp;id=1091304">Recycling and Disposal of Light Bulbs</a><li><a href=http://www.ehow.com/how_7483442_dispose-lowenergy-light-bulb.html>How to Dispose of a Low-Energy Light Bulb</a></ul></div></div></main><footer><hr><div><h3>Want to comment or have something to add?</h3>You can write me an email at
