Mercury in lightbulbs

According to a new report cited in The Boston Globe says CFC lightbulbs may pose a risk to infants if not used and disposed of properly:

"Using compact fluorescent bulbs is still the brightest idea out there," said Michael Bender, director of the Mercury Policy Project, a nonprofit organization that works to eliminate mercury use. "The message is: People should not be afraid but informed and prepared and learn how to dispose of them properly."
