The Other Environmental Contaminant
Thursday, December 9, 2010
The mercury content of fluorescent lamps is well-known as an environmental contaminant. A lesser known contaminant from exterior lamps is light pollution, a problem for virtually any facility lighting system.
This article from Today's Facility Manager identifies ways to reduce effects of light pollution such as sky glow, light trespass, and glare, and includes tips on staying compliant with light pollution regulations.

So true. Our company consults on such environmental factors, and not disposing of lamps can lead to many issues. Thanks for this article.
