Main problems:
680,000 energy-saving lamps have been used in Yinchuan, Ningxia since 2008 and after three-years, these lamps are going towards their end of life cycle. One energy-saving lamp contains 5mg. mercury. If the mercury releases, it will pollute water resources and air. There is no treatment on mercury-contained waste including used energy-saving lights now.
Project activities/solutions:
