A member asked:

Doctors say energy saving light bulb have mercury when we turn them on the mercury escape and mercury cause cancer is this true its offiicial?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I don't believe it: Fear of these new bulbs is being promoted by a right-wing news outlet. I've looked at this and decided that both the concerns about the tiny amounts of ultraviolet radiation and the possibility of contacting some mercury from a broken bulb are far less dangerous than exposures that we accept routinely. Eager to hear what others have to say.
