PAGASA attended the Seminar Workshop
PAGASA attended the Seminar Workshop organized by the Dept. of Energy
on its continuous Energy Efficiency Project focusing on the Transport,
Storage and Disposal of hazardous chemical>mercury found in popular
compact fluorescent lamps. The whole morning delved on DoE’s approach to the education & handling of used light bulbs,
the legal and inter-agency involvements in dealing with this problem
and an open forum to keep the bright ideas flowing in curbing exposure
of the environment to mercury. Headache centered on the efficient
collection of used light bulbs for recycling or proper disposal. In the
Phils., 70-80% of these bulbs are bought from small hardwares and
neighborhood stores.
