One CF Light breakage can put 335 times the safe level of mercury into the air according to the Maine Ambient Air Guideline .http://www.maine.gov/dep/rwm/homeowner/cflreport.htmThe EPA tells us we need to shut off the Heat or AC and leave the room for 15 minutes after a bulb break.http://www.epa.gov/mercury/spills/index.htm#fluorescentAll clean up materials need to be thrown out, stored in a sealed metal container and disposed of as toxic waste in some areas.Mercury is known to harm the brain and liver. Why would you want this product in your home around your family?Why would anyone want these lights around their children? Is their health worth a slightly lower electric bill?Shouldn't it be the goal of all people to remove all toxic metals from their home instead of bringing more of this substance in?Why doesn't congress pass a law demanding CF bulbs to be mercury free?Is our government being honest about the dangers of these bulbs?
