Our 50 inch Samsung Plasma was just picked up for warranty repair. They loaded it face down on foam in the back of a pick up truck. We had heard the same stories about you shouldn't lay them down because of the gases, etc. They told us that was a myth. They said this was the way they always transported them. We called the number in our manual to tell them and they also assured us it was a myth, that they could be transported on face down as long as it was on foam and strapped down.
There are no 15-inch plasma screens on the market. The plasma screen market is now limited to very large scale screens (50" +).
The gases in a plasma cells are largely inert element such as neon and xenon with a tiny amount of mercury. There is also a coating of phosphors inside each of the cells. While mercury and phosphors are potentially hazardous, they are not immediately dangerous in the quantities found inside a plasma screen. Treat a damaged screen with caution but there is no need to panic about immediate health hazards. Perhaps the bigger risk is from glass fragments rather than the gases.

LCD are usually better and plasma screens use more energy and are bigger.
The most common reason for your LG plasma screen to have a green line in the middle of the screen is because the plasma is slowly dying. Plasma screens can be vary expensive to replace, so it is best to buy new.
