I don’t believe that. CFLs are just fluorescent bulbs. Ballasts, the frequencies, etc., have been all around us for the last 60 years.

Indeed, wouldn't ALL flourescent tube lights therefore be harmful? Where are the millions of ill office workers over the past several decades??

The article didn't say everyone became ill but that some do. Put me in that "some" group. I can't stand to be around those lights. They make me edgy and give me a headache. Yes, I noticed it decades ago and would turn off the lights and just use sunlight at work. Present day, kids and I told hubby not to buy them but he did and put them in the kitchen. We ripped them out the first night.
