2.3 Other hazards

There are no known hazards when the bulb is intact and not damaged. Exposure to product contents is highly unlikely during normal usage. Ozone (CAS 10028-15-6) may be formed during use. Ozone is under assessment as an endocrine disruptor. Ozone is an oxidiser and may cause or intensify fire. The principal health effects of ozone are produced by irritation and damage to the small airways of the lung. High concentrations of ozone may also cause severe irritation of the eyes. Ozone is also very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. This product is designed to produce ultraviolet radiation. Exposure to UV Radiation in the UV-A / UV-C range is harmful to eyes and skin. The lamps may cause burns when hot. Mechanical destruction may cause harm by splinter of glass and liberation of the hazardous components. Inhalation of mercury vapors due to leakage or breakage of the lamp may be fatal, may cause organ damage through prolonged or repeated exposure, or may damage the unborn child. Mercury is also very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Information on the hazards of the other components can be found in Sections 3.2 and 11.1.
