A member asked:

How to reduce energy saving bulbs that i don't get cancer my energy saving bulbs are in my fan that has energy saving bulbs in the top of the wall?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not very high risk: Yes they emit ultraviolet rays , but not same intensity as from sun, . You need to sit under the bulb several hrs and for many many days or years to have some potential effect to get skin cancers ( not other serious cancers ) which are curable. Worry about tons other ionizing radiation we are constantly bombarded by cell towers, high power lines satellites & so many remote control devices.
