Question

Where is the mercury stored in CFL light bulb?

Answer 1

The mercury is in powder form inside the glass tube.  When heated, the mercury turns into a vapor.

While one bulb contains a small amount of this toxic heavy metal, one home will have enough to contaminate hundreds of acres of land, and millions of homes in the US and the world will dump more mercury into our waterways than coal ever did.

It’s possible that no one again will ever be able to eat a fish caught in the wild

Answer 2

The MERCURY is just beneath the glass coil.   If broken, be careful... although the amount is small, it's hardly woth the risk of contamination to your body.
