Re: Re: Taking your own temperature. / bulb clean up

Here are the clean up protocol for breaking a bulb http://www.epa.gov/mercury/spills/index.htm#fluorescent I guess they have changed the recommendation to get a hazmat team in. This was updated 2/08.

This is the FAQ's http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/promotions/change_light/downloads/Fact_Sheet_Mercury.pdf

I found this too:

The phase-out of the incandescent bulb was established through the 2007 Clean Energy Act. As part of the legislation, new efficiency standards for lighting will make a majority of inefficient light bulbs obsolete by 2014, with mandatory phase outs beginning in 2012.

Here is the story of the woman with the broken bulb. My question is - why didn't she just replace the carpet? That would be cheaper than $2,000.

Now add the low iodine status to all of us - being bombarded by fluoride in water and bromide in cars, breads and more. We are heading for an endocrine health meltdown like never seen before.
