"We have spoken to photobiologist
colleagues and in particular to a member of BAD who has given evidence to
the All Party Parliamentary Group enquiry.
Conclusions are that because the light
bulbs emit vanishingly small amounts of ultraviolet, they are very unlikely
to affect Gorlin Syndrome patients.
Confirmation of the exact output of
ultraviolet is still finally awaited, but even so it seems Gorlin Syndrome
patients don't have anything to worry about.
It seems quite likely that a
facility will be retained for people with various skin disorders to have
access to the current or similar incandescent yellow tungsten bulbs if they
want them. But in any case, there is a lot of activity going on to try and
retain access to the current yellow bulbs if necessary”.
