So You Broke A Fluorescent Bulb In Your House?
From EPA.gov - PANIC!!!!
Before Cleanup
- Have people and pets leave the room.
- Air out the room for 5-10 minutes by opening a window or door to the outdoor environment.
- Shut off the central forced air heating/air-conditioning system, if you have one.
- Collect materials needed to clean up broken bulb:
- stiff paper or cardboard;
- sticky tape;
- damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes (for hard surfaces); and
- a glass jar with a metal lid or a sealable plastic bag.
During Cleanup
- DO NOT VACUUM. Vacuuming is not recommended unless broken glass remains after all other cleanup steps have been taken. Vacuuming could spread mercury-containing powder or mercury vapor.
- Be thorough in collecting broken glass and visible powder. Scoop up glass fragments and powder using stiff paper or cardboard. Use sticky tape, such as duct tape, to pick up any remaining small glass fragments and powder. Place the used tape in the glass jar or plastic bag. See the detailed cleanup instructions for more information, and for differences in cleaning up hard surfaces versus carpeting or rugs.
- Place cleanup materials in a sealable container.
After Cleanup
- Promptly place all bulb debris and cleanup materials, including vacuum cleaner bags, outdoors in a trash container or protected area until materials can be disposed of. Avoid leaving any bulb fragments or cleanup materials indoors.
- Next, check with your local government about disposal requirements in your area, because some localities require fluorescent bulbs (broken or unbroken) be taken to a local recycling center. If there is no such requirement in your area, you can dispose of the materials with your household trash.
- If practical, continue to air out the room where the bulb was broken and leave the heating/air conditioning system shut off for several hours.
Broke an Incandescent Bulb?
Sweep it up, replace with incandescent, open refrigerator, grab a beer, sit down on couch and watch Duck Dynasty. Happy, happy happy.
You Might Be A Brainwashed Liberal If...
When this happened, MSNBC went into war room mode and covered the traffic jam incident like it was a major political event and even tried to find someone who may have died during the traffic jam. They don't just ignore the Benghazi scandal, where four American were left to die,they actively suppress and deny it to this day.
The entire news media is so corrupt, obtuse, twisted and diseased, it transmits a sickness that infects and infests the virtue of truth and truth telling, the foundation of reality, and the well being of the common man.
Media Matters Works With Big Government To Attack The Free Press..
One of the core tenets of a free press is to serve as a watchdog of government and to hold them accountable for their actions, misdeeds and lawlessness. Apparently Media Matters does not hold to these truths to be self evident as they coordinate with government to attack and disparage the free press. What are we to make of media organizations when they are the willing tools of tyranny? In the case of Media Matters, they are not a news organization as they attempt to portray themselves. Media Matters is a far left wing anti-free press organization intent on suppressing the free press, they are the propaganda ministry of the far left whose mission it is to suppress and attack all who wish to report and expose the malicious intent of leftist government and the shredding of the U.S. Constitution.
Media Matters is a sickness, a malignant colonic tumor that has embedded itself into the bowels free society, spreading its necrotic tendrils into the arena of free ideas in order to strangle all who speak against the misdeeds of destructive, leftist, big government policies.
As government subverts the constitution, uses government agencies to attack its political foes, pleads the fifth amendment in inquiries, illegally destroys and shreds critical documents, allows Americans to die for their own perceived political benefit, seizes freedom and rights from its citizens, fails to protect american borders and citizens, treats veterans as second class citizens, and lies, cheats and steals from hard working Americans, what does Media Matters attack? Those who would attempt to expose this tyranny, this lawlessness; the criminal behavior and actions of the current administration.
