What chemicals are in LED lights?

Several semiconductor compounds are commonly used in production of LEDs: Gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN), indium gallium nitride (InGaN), aluminum indium gallium phosphide (AlInGaP), gallium arsenide (GaAs), and aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs).

Why is LED so toxic?

Lead is bad for humans because it interferes with numerous enzymes inside the cells of these organs. This results in symptoms such as muscle and joint aches as well as constipation and overall fatigue. It damages our brains by interfering with how brain cells send messages and communicate.

Are LED lights safe?

LED lights do not contain ultraviolet rays and are safe for skin. Some studies have even shown that certain kinds of LED light therapy can be beneficial for skin concerns like acne and scarring.

Do all LED bulbs contain mercury?

LEDs use significantly less energy than even CFLs, and do not contain mercury. And the copper found in some LEDs can pose an environmental threat if it accumulates in rivers and lakes where it can poison aquatic life.

Can LED lighting make you sick?

It turns out that this is a very common side effect of LED lighting. Because they are digital, LEDs quickly turn on and off hundreds of times a second. This flutter causes our brains to work harder, disrupts the movement of your eyes and can cause headaches, dizziness and even nausea.

Can lead be removed from the body?

Chelation therapy is the only treatment that can remove lead from the body. With that said, removing yourself from the source of lead exposure is just as important, although this may be difficult if you live in an older home with lead paint or lead pipes.

What are the harmful effects of LED lights?

New scientific evidence confirms the “phototoxic effects” of short-term exposures to high-intensity blue light, as well as an increased risk of age-related macular degeneration after chronic exposure to lower-intensity sources, according to the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety.

Do LEDs emit infrared light?

No, LEDs do not emit ultraviolet (UV) or infrared light.
