It sure is peculiar that they leave 2 little holes in the bulb so those gases can continually be released. :roll:

I don't think any light is toxic per se, every part of the spectrum has its use. Its just lack of diversity and timings of them, they can actually kinda be used as tools in a way

When a energy saving bulb is broken, mercury is relased. What to do prevent poisoning?

  • Open the windows. Turn off the heating or air conditioner. Leave the room for 15 minutes.
  • When cleaning up later, leave the window open and wear rubber glowes. Do not use a broom or a vacuum cleaner.
  • ... It's shown in the video how to clean up the mess (starting at the 5:30 mark).
Thanks for the link to the video @Amazoniac.

...........

The German governmental guidelines mentioned in the video (in German).
