"Gas stoves and heaters emit nitrogen dioxide, ageing refrigeration still contains chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), radiation comes from television screens, microwave ovens, fluorescent lamps and computers. Insulating materials, paints, carpets, glues, tobacco smoke, ovens, vacuum cleaners, air conditioning, all emit fumes, irritants or radiation, and the list goes on. In the last thirty years we have become surrounded by electromagnetic fields, not just from household appliances but also from living near high-tension powerlines." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Another Samsung technology breakthrough is use of U-shaped cold-cathode fluorescent lamps to lower their mercury content. Samsung Electronics began to switch over from straight tubes to U-shaped tubes as the backlight in its LCD module for 2 3-inch televisions in January 2004. Use of the new backlight was expanded to include the new 17-, 19-, 20-, and 26-inch LCD TV modules. The brightness of LCD modules has not been affected by the change, but the amount of mercury in the lamps has been halved." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Studies by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirm that ultraviolet radiation from fluorescent lamps can increase the risk of nonmalignant skin cancer in certain people.
