CFL Danger

Posted August 30th, 2008 by MichaelLWagner

Beware: Compact-Fluorescent light bulbs CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS!!!

Read: Mercury leaks found as new bulbs break (The Boston Globe).

"... immediately after the bulb was broken--and sometimes even after a cleanup was attempted--levels of mercury vapor exceeded federal guidelines for chronic exposure by as much as 100 times. There is no federal guideline for acute exposure."
