that you had cleaned up the spill successfully if you do it on your

what future legal liabilities do you open yourself up to from a spill

having hired a professional for cleanup, and the new owner discovers
mercury levels due to your negligence? Yes, this is what I want in an
electric bulb.</font></div>

Ed, the link you posted is for the cleanup of liquid mercury, as in a

either vapor or a diffused dust inside the bulb so what you posted does
not apply to CFL bulbs.<br>

This may help some:<br>
