‘fluorescent lamp’ means a discharge lamp of the low-pressure mercury type in which most of the light is emitted by one or more layers of phosphors excited by the ultraviolet radiation from the discharge. Fluorescent lamps may be supplied with an integrated ballast;

They are used to directly produce highly efficient magnets, metal alloys, phosphors, optical material, battery material, ceramics, special abrasive powders These materials are key components of many downstream and consumer products such as: wind power turbines, catalysers (for car and oil cracking), energy-efficient bulbs, engines for electric and hybrid vehicles, flat screens and displays (LED, LCD, plasma), hard drives, car parts, camera lenses, glass applications, industrial batteries, medical equipment or water treatment - to name just a few.

They are used to directly produce highly efficient magnets, metal alloys, phosphors, optical material, battery material, ceramics, special abrasive powders.

We have a very important convention coming up, the Persistent Organic Pollutants Treaty, in which, as we heard from various delegations here, it is important to have the notion of phasing out the generation and use of, because, otherwise, we will send a message to the world that, as long as you control the use and emission of these persistent organic pollutants, everything is fine.
