Comparison Between a Photo Luminescent and Tritium Exit Signs

Exit signs can be seen anywhere around public areas like universities, churches, department stores, large buildings, school libraries etc. These exit signs includes tritium. Tritium is made of a hydrogen element that can be harmful. Tritium is a component in the triggering mechanism in thermonuclear weapons that can yield nuclear reactors too. Tritium will produce light once it will be mixed with any other suitable substance. The said combination of substances were examined to produce light continuously without having the use of batteries and through electricity. That is why there are most people who position tritium exit signs in their individual buildings. This is the best goods every as long as the cover will not crack!

This are the tips that the EPA may give when dealing with tritium exit sign when harm.
o Please do not touch the sign as it is.
o Get out from the area right away
o No vehicles are allowed to pass and blocked the area.
o Be sure that windows are open and breath from the outside!

If everyone breath the air contaminate by tritium :
o Take a bath with soap.
o Exchange your clothes and sealed the exposed clothes in a trash bag.
o Be sure to drink plenty of water to drain the substances inhaled.
o Conduct urinalysis to victims who were exposed for testing.
o Call the police and fire agencies.
o Call the group who handle radiation in an area.
o Let the manufacturer know the situation right away for further instructions.
For me... handling with tritium exit signs is ever the worst thing!

The Signs of Photo Luminescent Exit
If you are use to a green friendly person then have the photo luminescent exit signs instead for your building, here are some considerations to take when you have them.

o After the 25+ years for being sustenance free and green friendly usage, then throw it to trash.

It is a new place with a new beginning. Tritium exit signs has been used long time ago. Let it give you a brief background about the photo luminescent exit signs if you do not have any idea about them.

This is how it works, high quality luminescent coatings were being used to maintain the free from toxic for a metal sign blanks. To keep the simplicity, always use the new technology for use to save a much penny then. Fundamentally, the "glow in the dark" technology have promoted the  photo luminescent exit signs for safety. When you have it, no need to get electricity as your source of light then. There is no problem to disposed it since there is no need of batteries and bulbs. It is important to have tritium disposal.

Put the signs above every exit doors. A flashing glow in the dark light are very nice observe in the dark and that is how it goes. There are collected energy from the light that has been produced by the daylight then stock it, after when the sun falls then it glows in the dark when released. An excellent light result when these are exposed up to 54 lux of florescent and the lights produced occupied the whole area in the building.
