The lamp fell on the carpet when I was asleep and the bulb broke. all over the carpet. It's one of these types: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jAbWxwt2H5k/S9kJdPtw-sI/AAAAAAAABrw/as83vVORdcY/s1600/compact+fluorescent+light+bulb.jpg I heard that the mercury in the bulbs is in vapor form. It broke right next to my bed. Does this mean I inhaled mercury vapor?

• Answer:

  If you smash 100 bulbs at once, you might have a problem. On bulb will release only a small amount of gas. Vacuum everything up carefully and put in household trash. If you are a Business and have 100 burned out bulbs to dispose of you have to buy a special carton and dispose of it as hazardous waste. Homes are exempt.
