2. LAMP MATERIALS AND HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS
Glass & Metal
The glass tube used in a standard compact fluorescent lamp is manufactured from soda lime glass and is essentially
similar but not identical to that used throughout the glass industry for bottles and other common consumer items. The
lamp bases are generally nickel-plated copper or nickel-plated Aluminum. The coils in the lamps (called filaments or
cathodes) are made of tungsten. An emission material covers the tungsten coil. The emission materials consists of triple
oxide (BaO, CaO, SrO) + ZrO2 in a quantity of 4-12 mg/lamp depending on type. None of these materials would
present a hazard in the event of breakage of the lamp, aside from the obvious ones due to broken glass. Some
fluorescent lamps use an external coating of polycarbonate to provide a shatter-resistant coating.
Phosphor
The phosphor system (SP/SPX) 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. The phosphor components may vary slightly depending on the
color of the lamp (SPX30, SPX35, etc.). Compact fluorescent lamps typically have a maximum of 1.5 grams of
phosphor. Total phosphor weight will vary by lamp size and type.
Mercury
Mercury is present in small amounts in all fluorescent lamps. The amount of mercury present (typically 5 mg or less)
