Breathing asbestos fibers kills

Caution: OSHA brakes for lobbyists — Breathing asbestos fibers kills workers. It's as simple as that. Not everyone who breathes asbestos gets an asbestos related disease but enough do that it is a real risk. So you don't want to work with asbestos without taking precautions and you can't take precautions if you don't know you are working with asbestos.

Light bulb wallpaper

If you've got a room in your house that never seems to get enough light, has CeeLite got the wallpaper for you.

The company's Light Emitting Capacitor (LEC) panels are flexible, paper-thin light bulbs that you can hang on a wall, coming in sizes as large as 3 x 6 feet. Just a millimeter thick, the panels sandwich light-emitting phosphors between layers of electrodes.

When an AC voltage is applied, the phosphors light up with a warm white glow, consuming less power than a neon or fluorescent bulb.
