UV And Its Effect on Works of Art

The Conservator of Art, at a major Midwestern University, recently pointed out that museums should not be using CFLs as the UV is damaging to the works of art.

This being understood, why would anyone ignore the fact that the UV emitted by CFL bulbs would also be damaging to the eyes of humans and household pets, as UV-blocker glasses are not usually worn in our homes or offices?

What about the effects of UV upon fabrics of carpets, rugs, draperies, and home furnishings?

Where is the EPA whose job it is to protect us?

The word about CFLs is finally getting out.

There should be an enquiry about how governments around the world allowed the lighting industry to get them to insist their citizens use only CFL (since LEDs are still too expensive) light bulbs.

Governments didn’t do their homework on these lights. They should be banned rather than promoted.
