Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

An invention that has impressed me much -- and saved me some money too -- is the compact flourescent bulb.  I'm crazy about them and I use them everywhere in my place. However, I was not aware that they contain mercury which is considered hazardous.  Attached is a link to an article that strongly advises not using your vacuum to suck the debris should one of these bulbs break.  It claims you may well disperse mercury into the air in your home environment.

Instructions for careful clean-up are included in the article.

Here's to your good health,
