The measures to solve the problem of environmental pollution of China’s Lighting Industry

In order to control and improve the generation and diffusion of electric light in China in the production and use of hazardous substances, I propose the following solution.

First, to strengthen the management of the production chain and led down lights, from the source to reduce the amount of mercury.

Lighting Industry

To strengthen the management of electrical Lighting Industry production enterprises from the manufacturing part, the main purpose is to reduce the use of mercury in order to reduce the threat of mercury into the environment from the production processes. Through the standardized management of production enterprises, to improve the level of technology, workmanship and the equipment, and improve the overall level of the electrical lighting manufacturing industry, the main measure is to make out the development planning and encourage the development of clear deadline for correction and immediate elimination technology, process and corresponding enterprise development and strict production system of administrative examination and approval.

Second, to make out the mandatory standards of the industry and to establish the compulsory product certification system.

China still didn’t have the mandatory standards on the mercury content of the fluorescent. The actual situation of the producing is that fluorescent lamp of the mercury content of the level difference is large, a high reached 40 ~ 50mg,and low can be controlled in the 5mg or less. To control the content of Lighting Industry electric light mercury is not a technical problem, but a problem of national policies and policy enforcement. Production technology is mature amalgam and mercury pills can effectively control the use of mercury amalgam and mercury pills can be extremely precise control of the amount of mercury in each lamp.

Third, to detect the production enterprise production environment at a regular time, to assess their environmental impact.

State environmental protection departments should regularly or irregularly detect and assess on the production environment of production enterprise. For the enterprises which cannot achieve to this standard, should be make a different punishment according to their level of environmental pollution.

Lamp collection points should be established at the the Lighting Industry electrical point of sale.And establish a recycling network in parallel with the sales network.
