Examples are: ZnS, CdS, Y2O3, Y2SiO5, ZnSiO4 etc.

Activators initiate, improve, maintain the luminescence of phosphors.,

Compact Fluorescent lamps, Fireflies, Glowworms, some underground worms!!, and some phosphorescent paints, all contain phosphors.

Although I would not recommend it, yes you can as most are non-toxic.If however you meant elemental Phosphorus instead of phosphors, NO, some form of Phosphorus are deadly poisons and white Phosphorus spontaneously ignites on contact with air!!!If you don't know the difference between phosphors and Phosphorus, that is the subject of a different question.

Phosphors
Phosphors for fluorescent lights are one.
A fluorescent tube contains (when operating) a plasma, and this excites phosphors coated on the inside of the tube. Some of these phosphors are phosphorescent, that is they will glow in the dark for a while due to being exposed to light. But that glow will soon cease. Other phosphors are fluorescent, that is they will glow only while excited. So the glow you observe is due to the phosphorescent particles in the coating, and they will soon diminish in brightness.
