I work in the chlorine industry and we use large amounts of mercury in our

bit, I can assure you that you do not want to breath this vapor very often.
Women are not allowed to work in our plant due to possible birth defects. We
are in the process of changing our plant over to a non Hg process, my
company will spend millions of $ to do this. Thats how bad Hg can be.

the mess. No big deal.

I don't doubt it. I never knew that these fluorescent bulbs were that
hazardous. If I break one, I'll definitely pay attention to the clean up
directions.
