GOING GREEN

Do eco-friendly light bulbs have trace amounts of mercury?

The National Electrical Manufacturers Association or NEMA is a U.S.-based association, which was created on September 1, 1926, when the Associated Manufacturers of Electrical Supplies and the Electric Power Club merged. It is headquartered in Rosslyn, Virginia. It sets many common standards used in electrical products among its over 400 members.

Some do, but it’s mercury gas not the room temperature liquid form. Of course, the fumes are what is poisonous, so if you have these installed and one breaks, always wear a mask over your mouth and nose just to be safe.
