No worries... NIMO tubes are not harmful in terms radiation (voltage is too low), and any toxicity of internal materials would be no-worse than a CFL bulb (I doubt NIMO tubes have mercury, but they do have phosphorus and other things).
Even the high voltage (2kV) isn't harmful due to the low current (30uA per tube) as long as small capacitors are used. By far, the biggest risk is the handling of the tube itself, and making sure the circuit never exceeds the ratings of the tube, particularly the filament. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
