They are filled with mercrury (vapor). This is another example of the "double-edged sword" aspect of technology we are not always accounting for. How many of the public know this and dispose of their CFL bulbs properly? What about the environmental hazard defective or improperly disposed of CFL bulbs poses? The price of such technology is responsibility and the public needs to educated in both the disadvantages as well as the advantages of developing technology or we can't make responsible decisions- IMHO!
