SECTION 2: LAMP MATERIALS AND HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS
Glass & Metal
The glass tube used in a self-ballasted compact fluorescent lamp is Lead Free Glass. The coils in
the lamps (called filaments or cathodes) are made of tungsten. An emitter material covers the
tungsten coil. This emitter material consists of triple oxide (BaO, CaO, SrO) + ZrO2 in a quantity
of 2-25 mg/lamp depending on type. Other than the usual concerns of broken glass, these
materials do not pose a hazard in the event that the lamp breaks.
Phosphor
The phosphor system uses a mixture of rare earth elements such as lanthanum and yttrium as
either an oxide or as a phosphate, along with a barium/aluminum oxide. These phosphors
produce better lamp efficiency and color rendition. The phosphor components may vary slightly
depending on the color of the lamp (cool white, warm white, etc.).Total phosphor weight will vary
by lamp size and type.
