The objects of this study are compact fluorescent lamps with an electronic ballast and the hygienic assessment of electromagnetic fields created by compact fluorescent lamps. As part of the work, the selection of samples of compact fluorescent lamps for the experimental study of electromagnetic fields was carried out. The background levels of electric and magnetic fields with a frequency of 50 Hz and high-frequency range were measured. Experimental studies of the spectrum and intensity of electromagnetic fields created by compact fluorescent lamps were carried out with different variants of lamp placement (in a cartridge without a light armature, in a local lighting fixture, in general lighting fixtures – chandeliers). The study showed that compact fluorescent lamps equipped with electronic ballast create electromagnetic fields of radio frequency range in the surrounding space. The main frequency of radiation in the examined lamp samples ranged from 32 to 58 kHz. The intensity of electric fields created by compact fluorescent lamps may exceed the permissible level set for consumer goods.
