Insider Alert ( www.NewsTarget.com)
(excerpt)
As consumers rush to adopt energy efficient lighting through
the use of Compact Fluorescent Lamps, no one is telling them the truth
about the dangerous levels of mercury in these lights. A single fluorescent
light contains enough mercury to contaminate 6,000 gallons of fresh
water. If you break one in your home, you'll release mercury vapor and
require a hazardous materials cleanup that can cost you $2,000 or more. The
mercury in fluorescent lights is poisoning landfills and underground water
reservoirs all across the country, and the more people keep buying these
mercury-containing lights, the more toxic the environment will get.
Today's feature story tells the shocking truth about what consumers
aren't being told: There's mercury in compact fluorescent
lights, and mercury is one of the most neurotoxic substances known to modern
science. Simply breaking a single fluorescent light in your home can expose you
and your family to dangerously high levels of this heavy metal that has been
linked to autism, Alzheimer's disease, birth defects, learning
disabilities, behavioral disorders and accelerated neurological degeneration.
Read today's story for the full scoop. (See below.)
FULL DISCLOSURE DISCLAIMER: Out of frustration over all the mercury
found in fluorescent lights (plus the enormous waste of energy from
using incandescent lights), I recently founded www.EcoLEDs.com, a manufacturer of mercury-free energy
efficient lighting products based on LED technology. I do have a
financial stake in the success of LED lighting products, but more importantly,
I have a strong humanitarian interest in helping consumers avoid toxic mercury
exposure while saving money and the environment through energy-efficient
lighting. We've recently added a new line of more affordable LED lights, all of
which are 100% mercury free and use only 10% of the energy consumed by regular
light bulbs. Regardless of whether LED lighting is right for you, please
think twice before buying fluorescent lights -- they ALL contain
mercury. They are extremely toxic to the health of humans and the environment. If
you do buy fluorescent lights, please, please dispose of them properly, through
mercury recycling centers (if you can even find one in your community).
