22. I do not know how dangerous a single fluorescent light bulb is but
what about all the bulbs that are going to be thrown into waste dumps? Sure some of us are going to recycle them but there are a lot of people who do not recycle at all. Can this stuff get into our ground water? What exactly are the environmental dangers of mercury?

One of my daughters already has all the bulbs changed in her home and we are in the process. I would like to know more about this before we go any further.
