Another danger from CFLs

Someone really has it in for CFLs on the BBC this week. I bet a BBC reporter is getting it in the ear from his wife because she just heard about the government phasing out incandescent light bulbs.Today's new danger is one that does concern me. It's the fact that a small amount of mercury is used in the manufacture of the lights. Not enough to kill you but if it is allowed to accumulate then prolonged exposure to mercury is dangerous.
