CFL bulbs and Mercury in YOUR home.

Thanks to Scott, W7OXZ, for the following link. The state of Maine has done extensive testing on CFL bulbs and has published their findings for all to see. If nothing else, at least go to the referenced page and scroll down to read the Executive Summary. Is it "good" news that a broken CFL bulb can only raise the airborne mercury content in your home to just 3,333 times the safe level? Is it "good" news that the location on the floor where the bulb broke can take your in home mercury level to 1,500 times the safe level anytime anyone walks over it, even after a thorough clean up? Might be OK for you, not for me.
