[QUOTE]Originally posted by smitty195: [QB] I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried. Here is what was in the Boston Globe last Tuesday (regarding the cleanup procedure if you drop and break a CFL bulb): -Keep people and pets away. Open windows, and leave the area for 15 minutes before beginning the cleanup. -Do not use a vacuum cleaner, even on a carpet. This will spread the mercury vapor and dust and potentially contaminate the vacuum. -Wear rubber gloves. -Carefully remove the larger pieces and place them in a secure closed container, preferably a glass jar with a metal screw top lid and seal like a canning jar. -Next, scoop up the smaller pieces and dust using two stiff pieces of paper such as index cards or playing cards. -Pick up fine particles with duct tape, packing tape, or masking tape, and then use a wet wipe or damp paper towel. -Put all waste into the glass container, including all material used in the cleanup. Remove the container from your home and call your local solid waste district or municipality for disposal instructions. -Continue ventilating the room for several hours. -Wash your hands and face. -As a precaution, consider discarding throw rugs or the area of carpet where the breakage occurred, particularly if the rug is in an area frequented by infants, small children or pregnant women. Otherwise, open windows during the next several times you vacuum the carpet to provide good ventilation. The Globe's source was the Maine Bureau of Remediation and Waste Management/Mercury Policy Project I'm all for saving energy (like taking the train!), but we are allowing ourselves to get so carried away with this silliness that it just boggles my mind.
