With the increasing awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection, high energy-consuming incandescent lamps have been largely withdrawn from the stage of mainland China's lighting industry because the main raw material for electricity production-coal-produces mercury pollution when burned and energy-saving fluorescent lamps have made considerable progress. However, fluorescent lamps emit mercury, which still causes environmental pollution. In this work, the existing problems in the development of fluorescent lamps, and in the collection and treatment of spent fluorescent lamps were analyzed. The contributions of various external factors to the above problems were evaluated based on fuzzy theory. Finally, solutions to control the pollution of mercury from fluorescent lamps and spent fluorescent lamps were proposed. Results show that the biggest problem that causes mercury pollution is the first among three factors: energy conservation and mercury emission from fluorescent lamps and spent fluorescent lamps, spent fluorescent lamp collection and spent fluorescent lamp treatment. The best way to solve these problems is by developing an energy-saving and environment-friendly light emitting diode (LED) industry in mainland China.
随着节能环保意识的提高，高能耗白炽灯已在很大程度上退出中国大陆照明行业舞台，因为电力生产的主要原料——煤在燃烧时会产生汞污染，而节能灯也取得了相当大的进展。然而，荧光灯也会释放汞，这仍然会造成环境污染。在这项工作中，分析了荧光灯发展过程中以及废弃荧光灯收集和处理过程中存在的问题。基于模糊理论，评估了各种外部因素对上述问题的贡献。最后，提出了控制荧光灯和废弃荧光灯中汞污染的解决方案。结果表明，造成汞污染的最大问题是荧光灯和废弃荧光灯节能及汞排放、废弃荧光灯收集和废弃荧光灯处理这三个因素中的首要因素。解决这些问题的最好方法是发展中国大陆的节能、环保型发光二极管（LED）产业。
