What is the mercury bulb?

If I accidentally drop a lightbulb containing mercury and the bulb shatters, where does the mercury go, and how harmful is this level of mercury exposure?

  • Where does the mercury vapor immediately go first? How many hours would it generally take to air out the room properly with an open window? How can I safely clean the shattered mess up?

  • Answer:

    Make sure you never step onto a broken energy saver bulb. There is a site on google search about this very question.. The mercury gets into your cuts and then i just eats your flesh away down to the bone. Very painfull and a long time in hospital with a great chance of amputation. Just google search. What does the mercury from  a broken energy saver bulb do to you if you step on it.  Horrible pictures. Beware All.
