A lot of us are forced to work in an environment of fluorescent light – and that can be a problem.
A study by researchers at Stony Brook University in New York found that compact fluorescent light bulbs can cause skin damage consistent with ultraviolet radiation, especially if they’re not behind a glass cover. Other studies have found fluorescent lighting can trigger mood disorders, headaches, eye strain and anxiety in some people.
If you’re forced to work in fluorescent lighting, make it a point to get into real sunlight several times during the workday. This can combat some negative side effects. Adding additional non-fluorescent lighting to your work space can help too.
