Default White papery leaves on tomatoe and celery seedlings

Two years ago I grew tomatoes on the bathroom windowsill. The
seedlings soon developed some leaves which became papery and white
and the plants had to be discarded. Last year I disinfected the
windowsill and tried again, same result. This year I am growing my
tomatoes elsewhere but am growing celery on the bathroom windowsill
and the seedlings are suffering the same fate. Does anybody know
what is wrong and how to fix it?


Too much light for young plants?
Is this a south facing window?


More likely too little.

Otherwise inspect top and bottom of leaves with magnifier.
Look for fungus or insects.
