NewsTarget Insider Alert (www.NewsTarget.com)

Dear readers,

 

As consumers rush to adopt energy efficient lighting through the use

of Compact Fluorescent Lamps, no one is telling them the truth about

the dangerous levels of mercury in these lights. A single fluorescent

light contains enough mercury to contaminate 6,000 gallons of fresh

water. If you break one in your home, you'll release mercury vapor and

require a hazardous materials cleanup that can cost you $2,000 or

more. The mercury in fluorescent lights is poisoning landfills and

underground water reservoirs all across the country, and the more people

keep buying these mercury-containing lights, the more toxic the

environment will get.

 

Today's feature story tells the shocking truth about what consumers

aren't being told: There's mercury in compact fluorescent lights, and

mercury is one of the most neurotoxic substances known to modern

science. Simply breaking a single fluorescent light in your home can

expose you and your family to dangerously high levels of this heavy

metal that has been linked to autism, Alzheimer's disease, birth

defects, learning disabilities, behavioral disorders and accelerated

neurological degeneration.

 

Read today's story for the full scoop. (See below.)
