On the bbc news, there was about a one minute article on it, saying they may be dangerous, because they contained mercury, and it was a short one minute piece and they just ended it quickly by saying the level of mercury in the lights is very small and cannot be harmful.


Another point on a separate matter I wanted to say was that people accept that a tiny drop of arsenic is dangerous, a tiny drop of uranium would be dangerous, yet people cannt accept that a small amount of mercury in a filling is also dangerous , and dismiss it by saying if a dentist does it, it must be safe. people should start comparing mercury to things like arsenic which people immediately think of as poisonous and then people will realise even tiny amounts of mercury affect people.
