1. Open the window
When an energy-saving light bulb breaks, it releases small quantities of mercury vapour which you should avoid inhaling. Open the window and leave it open while you clean up.
2. Scrape up the broken light bulb with cardboard and wipe down the area with a wet napkin
It is important that you collect all the pieces of the bulb. Do not sweep with a broom, as this will spread mercury around the room. Instead, use cardboard to scrape up the broken bulb. Sticky tape can be used to pick up pieces in cracks and other inaccessible places. Wipe down with a wet napkin in order to pick up the remaining small fragments.
3. Place the broken light bulb in an air-tight container and take it to the recycling centre
Wrap up the pieces etc. carefully and place them in an air-tight container, e.g. a jam jar or freezer bag. Take it to a recycling centre or to another municipal collection point which accepts energy-saving light bulbs.
4. Ventilate the room thoroughly afterwards
The cleaning should be followed by effective ventilation for 15 minutes. It is also a good idea to increase the ventilation of the room for the next 14 days, as there may be remains left behind.

According to the Ellison American, the store warned her not to vacuum the carpet and directed her to call the poison control hotline in Prospect, Maine. Poison control staffers suggested she call the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.
The latter sent over a specialist to test the air in her house for mercury levels. While the rest of the house was clear, the area of the accident was contaminated above the level considered safe. The specialist warned Bridges not to clean up the bulb and mercury powder by herself ? recommending a local environmental cleanup firm.
That company estimated the cleanup cost, conservatively, at $2,000. And, no, her homeowners insurance won?t cover the damage.

Here are real instructions by EPA.
http://www2.epa.gov/cfl/cleaning-broken-cfl
About other hazards, you are supposed to do all kinds of shit, including not beig fat, not drinking too much and not smoking, but who listens? Some bulbs are very marginal issue. And don't break those.
ABANDON THE BOAT!!
" What if I can't follow all the recommended steps? or I cleaned up a CFL but didn't do it properly?
Don't be alarmed; these steps are only precautions that reflect best practices for cleaning up a broken CFL. Keep in mind that CFLs contain a very small amount of mercury -- less than 1/100th of the amount in a mercury thermometer. "

I had one of those damn things break while it was on and in the damn light socket - it made a really big pop and everything around it looked like it had once been on fire - put a big burn spot in the area. When I called the manufacturers, they just said it didn't happen - I am not sure how they could even say this, I sent them pics and everything, and "It didn't happen".Get in Touch on Telegram if you need a hardworker - (since 1999) - All About Me!Comment
