| Short Description |
All fluorescent lamps contain some mercury, a heavy metal that is toxic even in extremely low doses. However, life cycle analysis shows that much less mercury enters the environment through the use of CFLs than through the use of incandescent lights. By purchasing and using energy efficient compact fluorescent lamps we can reduce energy consumption. | |
