<font size=3>Yes, Bill, beryllium is still poisonous... :-D It is
one of the "heavy metals" as are lithium, cadmium, mercury, and
a number of others. That's why they should not go into land fills
-- they poison us in large enough doses.<br><br>

Anybody know?<br>

<dd><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2>And how exactly would you
certify that you had cleaned up the spill successfully if you do it on
your own? Aside from the documented and obvious health risks from
exposure, what future legal liabilities do you open yourself up to from a
spill on your premises? What happens if you later sell you home
without 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.<br>

<dd>Yes they are a dumb idea if you believe this kind of clap trap. Here
is the official EPA statement and method for cleanup. It does not involve
any kind of Hazmat response, which BTW I do for a living and trust me I
have never heard of anyone doing this.<br><br>

<dd>All easy stuff, no hazmat team required. <br><br>
