Section 3. Physical Properties

Not applicable to an intact lamp. These items are light bulbs in various shapes, configurations, and designs. All contain a

small fluorescent tube (either twisted or bent to shape), a plastic housing (containing an electronic circuit to start the

lamp), and a threaded base for use in standard incandescent lamp sockets (or a pin base for use in a GU24 socket).

Some lamps utilize a glass, or plastic, outer envelop to enclose the fluorescent tube.

Section 4. Fire and Explosion Hazards

Not applicable to an intact lamp. If subjected to extreme heat, the plastic and glass components of the lamp may crack

or melt and the lamp may emit toxic fumes.

Section 5. Reactivity Not applicable to an intact lamp. Section 6. Health Hazards Not applicable to an intact lamp. Breakage of the lamp may result in some exposure to the phosphor powder and to elemental mercury. No adverse effects are expected from occasional exposure to broken lamps, but as a matter of good practice, prolonged exposure should be avoided through the use of adequate ventilation during the disposal of large quantities of lamps.
