OT Mercury- the cost of energy efficiency

[Guest guest]

I wonder if you noticed this week that DOCTORS say energy saving light bulbs

pose a health risk.

They are filled with mercury gas- Some are very badly sealed so give off mercury

vapour, and if they break you should evacuate the room for several minutes to

allow the room to air!! I have never read this health warning on them!

We stopped using these bulbs over a year ago as I also noticed that my eyesight

was weakening after using them to light up rooms when I was doing paper work.

The alternative health professionals have been raising these concerns for a

number of years now....

We are using the halogen bulbs instead- which are less toxic and are brighter

too.
