Mercury in modern compact fluorescent bulbs: Less than exists in a thermometer. The alternative: Buying an incandescent bulb, which is responsible for far MORE pollution, due to the additional power required to run it. The difference is, you know the mercury is right there in the bulb, but you do not see the pollution. You're breathing it, though, while by contrast the tiny amount of mercury in a compact fluoresecent CAN be contained.

THEN I read they have mercury in them. Now I don't know what to do with them, I guess I will use them, although I am not sure I will buy more of them.
