How to reduce electricity?
1. Shutdown your computer.
Computers are some of the
biggest energy users in office
buildings. …
2. Choose the right light. LED
bulbs are the most energy
efficient lighting option. ...
3. Eliminate vampire power:
unplug idle electronics. ...
4. Use a power strip to reduce
your plug load. ...
5. Turn off the lights.
How to reduce the amount of
electricity used in living room
and kitchen for lighting?
 Use dimmer switches. Energy-efficient
dimmers reduce the flow of electricity to a
bulb, which means that you’re only using
the amount that you actually need. A
dimmer can also extend the life of a bulb
because a light shining at lower output will
last longer than one on full power at every
use.
 Energy-efficient recessed lighting fixtures
Recessed lighting is a popular, modern
solution for having a bright space; it’s
commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms,
and hallways because it can be configured
in order to allow for strong illumination and
saves the space that lamps or other
fixtures would use.
Light emitting diode (LED)
Light‐ emitting diodes (LEDs) are the most
common light source. They are used in a
myriad of applications including general
lighting and back‐ lighting for displays. LEDs
are based on pn junctions, usually made of
III‐ V semiconductors, which emit light when
a forward current is injected. This chapter
discusses the fundamental properties and
performance metrics of LEDs. Particular
attention is given to the efficiency of LEDs
and the various mechanisms that reduce the
efficiency. The chapter also discusses white
LEDs that consist of a blue LED chip that is
coated with a yellow phosphor. The
phosphor absorbs some of the blue light and
converts it to broadband yellow light. White
LEDs are very suitable replacement light
sources for conventional sources such as
incandescent and fluorescent lamps.
 Plasma light bulb
They are not like regular light bulbs. Inside the
long tube is a gas. ... This charging and
exciting of the atoms creates glowing plasma
inside the bulb. The electricity helps to strip
the gas molecules of their electrons. Another
example of plasma is a neon sign.

How does light travels?

Light travels as a wave. But unlike sound
waves or water waves, it does not need
any matter or material to carry its energy
along. This means that light can travel
through a vacuum—a completely airless
space. ... It speeds through the vacuum of
space at 186,400 miles (300,000 km) per
second.
How are fires made?
As they heat up, the rising carbon atoms (as
well as atoms of other material) emit light.
This "heat produces light" effect is called
incandescence, and it is the same kind of thing
that creates light in a light bulb. It is what
causes the visible flame. ... On Earth, gravity
determines how the flame burns.

Fire extinguishers
A fire extinguisher is an active fire protection device
used to extinguish or control small fires, often in
emergency situations. It is not intended for use on
an out-of-control fire, such as one which has reached
the ceiling, endangers the user (i.e., no escape route,
smoke, explosion hazard, etc.), or otherwise requires
the expertise of a fire brigade. There are two main
types of fire extinguishers: stored-pressure and
cartridge-operated. In stored pressure units, the
expellant is stored in the same chamber as the
firefighting agent itself. Depending on the agent
used, different propellants are used. With dry
chemical extinguishers, nitrogen is typically used;
water and foam extinguishers typically use air.
 Dangers of radiation
Low levels of radiation are not dangerous, but
medium levels can lead to sickness, headaches,
vomiting and a fever. High levels can kill you by
causing damage to your internal organs. It's difficult
to treat high radiation exposure. Exposure to
radiation over a long time can cause cancer.
Eyes High doses can cause cataracts.
Thyroid Radioactive iodine can build up and cause cancer,
particularly during growth.
Lungs Breathing in radioisotopes can damage DNA.
Stomach Radioactive isotopes can sit in the stomach and
irradiate for a long time.
Reproductive organs High doses can cause sterility or mutations.
Skin Radiation can burn skin or cause cancer.
Bone marrow Radiation can cause leukemia and other diseases
of the blood.

Protective clothing
 Safety Glasses
 Gloves
 wear a lab coat
 contain long hairs using a hair net or in
a ponytail.
 First aid
First aid is the first and immediate assistance
given to any person suffering from either a
minor or serious illness or injury, with care
provided to preserve life, prevent the condition
from worsening, or to promote recovery.

Safety in home and work place

Dangers of electric shock
Electric Current affects the body when it flows
through. The basic unit of current is the amp. This is
the current which flows through a resistance of 1
ohm (Ω) when a voltage of 1 volt is applied across it.
However, currents as low as thousandths of amps
(milliamps) can have an adverse effect on the body.
The table below gives an illustration of the types of
effects various levels of currents can have on the
body.
Electric Current Physiological Effect
(1 second contact)
1 mA Threshold of feeling, tingling
sensation.
5 mA Accepted as maximum
harmless current
10-20 mA Beginning of sustained
muscular contraction ("Can't
let go" current.)
100-300 mA Ventricular fibrillation, fatal
if continued. Respiratory
function continues.
6A Sustained ventricular
contraction followed by
normal heart rhythm.
(defibrillation). Temporary
respiratory paralysis and
possibly burns.
