Health risks

A broken lamp means that those present will be exposed to mercury, especially the person picking up the fragments and cleaning the room. A healthy adult should not experience immediate side effects to mercury exposure. However, exposure to toxic vapours can have minor or more significant effects on health. If in doubt consult your medical doctor, especially if you are particularly sensitive to chemical substances. This product complies with the maximum allowable ozone concentration of 0.050 parts per million volume (ppmv) over a 24-hour period.

Correctly disposing of the product as per European Directive 2011/65/UE.

At the end of its lifespan, the product must not be disposed of as part of ordinary waste. It can be handed in to specific collection points set up by the local authority, or to retailers who provide such a service.
