Low mercury

To further my research I needed to prove that mercury in the bulbs is a known problem. From my field questionare, most people do know about mercury being in the bulbs, and know that it is poisonous to them. I've done some looking around at various products, and it seems that for years, manufacturers like Phillips and GE have been making low mercury content fluorescents, including CFLs. They usually have a green cap to distinguish them. In fact, many commercial and business places currently use these bulbs. They also have almost no lead. Information regarding the subject can be seen from this link... http://www.atlantalightbulbs.com/pages/alto3.html
