LED lighting can improve the ten surface haze volts"

Recently, UNEP Asia Pacific Regional Office Director C Valerie Zahedi (Kaveh Zahedi) said in an interview with reporters, the promotion of efficient lighting, is of great significance for the dependence on imported fuel to generate electricity state, helps to reduce power consumption, haze and carbon emissions, reduce electricity, thereby reducing the thermal power station construction. In recent years, many countries have developed to promote efficient lighting, out inefficient lighting policies, the relevant standards promulgated, product testing laboratories have been established, which means to promote UNEP and other institutions for efficient lighting, has made the world aware of the importance of efficient lighting.

Efficient lighting saving and environmental protection

Zahedi pointed out that, at present, 15% of the world's electricity consumption of lighting electricity consumption, resulting in carbon dioxide emissions accounted for about 5% of the world. Advanced lighting technologies including LED and control can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than half. The use of efficient lighting equipment not only helps to protect the global climate and environment, will also benefit the world and its consumers, only to realize the transformation of the lighting equipment used in Asia, can reduce nearly 4 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to Australia's annual carbon dioxide emissions.

In addition, the economic benefits of using LED lamps should not be underestimated, Zahedi said that if the widespread use of commercial efficient lighting and lighting equipment, the world will save $about 120000000000 a year in electricity spending. China is a leader in the global lighting industry, with advanced technology for export, efficient lighting can accelerate the promotion of energy efficiency, so that China and other countries to achieve inclusive growth.

The use of efficient lighting helps to reduce PM2.5 emissions

In recent years, frequent fog and haze, seriously affecting people's lives and health. Zahedi said that the use of LED lights will indirectly reduce the cause of haze culprit PM2.5 emissions.

Thermal power stations and other heavy industries are large emitters of PM2.5, but also the main source of air pollution, he pointed out that if the existing non energy saving lighting equipment replaced by LED equipment, the world will be less than 280 fire power plant. "Although we did not make a specific statistical data at present, a LED lamp will reduce the number of PM2.5 emissions, but through the use of LED lights, saving electricity costs, it can be seen that the use of efficient lighting will effectively reduce dependence on coal-fired power, thereby reducing the emission of PM2.5, to help improve air quality. "

In the outdoor pollution caused widespread concern at the same time, indoor pollution also threatens the safety of people's lives. According to WHO (WHO) statistics, about 2000000 people each year due to inhalation of indoor and outdoor air pollution and the death of small particles. Zahedi said that at present in many families in Asia and Africa, kerosene lamp is still the main lighting equipment, kerosene lamps will not only pollute the indoor air, but also cause fire hazards. The LED lamp can be used for indoor lighting, people can reap the benefits of safety and health, this green and sustainable lighting program will benefit thousands of households.
