CFL Bulbs are not bad for your health unless two things happen. 1.

Or they do not get recycled properly CFL's contain between 2.5-4.0MG's of Mercury and also contain other gases that are not good for your body. This Mercury if its not disposed of AKA Recycled will eventually work its way into a Creek, River, or Ocean because of the watershed from Landfills. Mercury levels in fish have been raising for years and is the reason why Dr's are asking the public to limit the number of fish that we consume. Mercury is a "heavy metal" as is Lead!! Mercury has been linked to MANY medical conditions that range from Autism to Kidney failures. Please think before adding this hazardous chemical into your homes. The Fluorescent tubes in our offices contain more Mercury than CFL's and they are not recycled in most states.
