Industrial Air Pollution Causes Many Problems

Not only do LightSources and LightTech manufacture products that help to make the world a better place, but we also implement environmentally-friendly practices in-house with our own production processes.  Supporting social programs, developing environmentally-friendly technologies, and implementing green business practices are an important part of the LightSources group’s business philosophy.

We are proud to manufacturer a line of cost-effective products designed to help reduce industrial pollution, which is the one of the biggest sources of environmental contamination.  In fact the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that, “air pollution levels rose 14 percent from 1990 to 2008.”  Industrial air pollution is caused by dust, fly ash, smoke, fog, soot and fumes as well as gaseous pollutants such as carbon monoxide, methane, and nitrogen oxide. 

Most scientists believe that industrial air pollution is one of the leading causes of climate change, and that the effects are much farther reaching than just air quality.  Greenhouse gas emissions can pollute soil and damage plants as well as travel a long distance from the source.  When pollutants from factories combine with the moisture in the air, it is called “acid rain.”  The U.S. Geological Survey reports that one study showed, “air pollution caused the pH of rainfall to drop to 4.2 in the Washington, D.C. area.”  For clarification, unpolluted rain has a pH of 5.6.”

At the LightSources group, we are committed to continually improving our manufacturing processes to help protect the environment such as using measured mercury pellets for controlled mercury dosages as well as lead-free phosphors.  In addition we design energy efficient products such as our proprietary LongLife™ UV germicidal lamps, tanning lamps and TriLight Max lighting lamps that require fewer replacements.  We also recycle as much material as possible, and LightTech even operates in-house recycling equipment.  See our website to learn more cost-effective ways to help improve the environment. 

LightSources and its affiliated companies are regarded as innovative, high-tech designers and manufacturers in the specialty lamp manufacturing industry. From prototype to finished product, we offer unmatched flexibility and manufacturing turnaround.
