Waste disposal and security

• All compact fluorescent lamps contain some amount of toxic mercury. Don't throw away with normal household waste!
• Normal precautions should be taken for the collection of glass particles in the event a lamp is broken.
• Breakage of the lamp results in some exposure to the phosphor powder and to elemental mercury. No adverse effects are expected from occasional exposure to broken lamps, but as a matter of good practice, prolonged exposure should be avoided through the use of adequate ventilation during the disposal of large quantities of lamps.
