Sorry, I'm side-tracking you. If the mercury content was a major issue, I'm sure the manufacture of flourescent light tubes would have been stopped by now.
I did a fair crawl around looking for mercury related info - particularly in relation to fluorescent tubes. I found two maybe worth mentioning -
- The University of Hawaii's Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste Management Program - which looks like a really solid waste management policy document, and
- An outline of a presentation - Are we the Mad Hatters of the 20th Century? presented in 1997.
