CFL Usage and What You Should Do If a CFL Breaks in Your Home
CFLs contain hazardous mercury vapor that may cause potential environment concern.

MINNETONKA, MN, August 03, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As a result of a growing green movement and new government regulations--including an Act of Congress to cease the manufacture of incandescent lamps by 2013--the use of more energy efficient lights, such as CFLs, continues to increase. Like all fluorescent lights, CFLs contain hazardous mercury vapor, which is emitted when these fragile bulbs break and causes significant health and safety issues, as well as environmental concerns.

What should you do if a CFL breaks in your home? A Maine Compact Fluorescent Lamp Breakage Study found that mercury concentration in a room can exceed permissible exposure levels, even from the breakage of a single CFL.
