I. INFORMATION AND APPLICABILITY
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) for chemicals are
not applicable to manufactured articles such as Lamps. No material contained in a lamp
is released during normal use and operation. The following information is provided as a courtesy to our customers.
The following Lamp Material Information Sheet contains applicable Material Safety Data Sheet information.

III. COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THERE ARE NO KNOWN HEALTH HAZARDS FROM EXPOSURE TO LAMPS THAT ARE INTACT.
Lamp Assembly – Glass and Metal – The Glass is made from soda lime similar to that used throughout the glass
industry for other common consumer articles. The metals are generally made from various amounts of Aluminum,
Tin, Lead, Copper, Zinc and Nickel. None of the materials would present a potential hazard in the event of
breakage of the lamp, aside from the hazard due to broken glass.
Mercury – Small amounts of mercury is used in all fluorescent lamps, generally around 0.025% by weight. TOSPO
continues to reduce the amounts of mercury used in fluorescent lamps.
Phosphor – phosphate mix using manganese, rare earth elements such as lanthanum, and yttrium as either an
oxide or as a phosphate, along with a barium/aluminum oxide all are tightly bound in the phosphor matrix. These
phosphors produce better lamp efficiency and color rendition. The phosphor components may vary slightly
depending on the color of the lamp. Some lamps may contain a thin coating of tin oxide inside the glass.

IV. HEALTHY CONCERNS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THERE ARE NO KNOWN HEATH HAZARDS FROM EXPOSURE TO LAMPS THAT INTACT. No adverse effects
are expected from occasional exposure to broken lamps. As a matter of good practice, avoid prolonged or frequent
exposure to broken lamps unless there is adequate ventilation. The major hazard form broken lamps is the
possibility of sustaining glass cuts.
Mercury – The mercury in the air as a result of breaking one or a small number of fluorescent lamps should not
result in significant exposures to an individual. However, when breaking a large number of lamps for disposal,
appropriate industrial hygiene monitoring and controls should be implemented to minimize airborne levels or
surface contamination. We recommend a well-ventilated area, and local exhaust ventilation or personal protective
equipment.
