I just finished watching this on the NBC news...Mercury & Lead in the CFL bulbs! If you drop you need to clean up in a specific way & recycling is an issue!
They called 18 cities I believe in IL & 8 said the wrong way to clean up, 8 didn't know & 2 only had the correct answer!
Do NOT vacuum!!! It just spreads it around they say!

I heard this on the news over here just a few weeks ago now! It's always something isn't it!

I heard the same thing about these bulbs. We only use these kind of bulbs so it was good to know.

Awww heck, who cares about a little mercury leaching into the ground water? Now if you will excuse me, I have to go eat my daily helping of swordfish.
Have a great weekend!

Yeah, I heard about this the day AFTER my wife broke a bulb in the kids play area in the basement. Between the absestos tile and the lead-filled water this house came with, I can't imagine a little mercury will hurt j/k :)
btw - the swordfish comment was LOL
