Have y’all heard about this, CFL, Compact Florescence Bulbs breaking and leaving mercury in the air and on surfaces. I think this includes the regular florescence long bulbs that are used in office buildings a lot, but don’t’ hold me to that.
Here are some links you can check out for information about mercury and these energy saving light bulbs:
Health Effects Of Mercury Exposure
How to clean up CFL Bulbs
Identifying Mercury Lights
Wonder what could happen with a landfill full of them?

Aren't these the kind of light bulbs they are going to make mandatory?
Your comment today cracked me up!
let me try this again...
Yes, I think so. It is the only kind they sale at Sams Wholesale here (like a Cosco)
Kinda scary. I guess we all should start wearing those paper masks like they use for SARS. Hey maybe that would help my city allergies
Yikes! I hope this goes through, because every time I stopped by and tried to leave a comment it wouldn't work, but now that I got my computer fixed, maybe it will....let's see...judy
