[Greenbuilding] CFL Breakage Results Indicate Unacceptable Danger

[Jane Talkington]

I am suspicious of CFL mercury gas. This 66-page report from the Environmental Protection office
of Maine details how much gas is in the air at 1 ft off the ground vs 5 ft off the ground.
breakage on carpet vs wood floor. clean up with vac vs. broom, ventilation for 5 min vs 15 min.
The devil is in the details.

Staggering. Alarming. Unacceptable, in my opinion.

Don't just read the executive summary, open the whole report and see the numbers
that go off the chart! When 300 nanoparts per million is acceptable and your baby's room goes
to 25,000 or even up to 100,000 we have a problem.
