Cleaning up a Broken Tube
The light tubes contain a small amount of mercury sealed within the glass
tubing, when a tube breaks in your home, some of this mercury is released as
mercury vapor. To minimize exposure to mercury vapor, we recommend that
users follow the cleanup and disposal steps as follows:
Before Cleanup:
•
Have people and pets leave the room and 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 material needed to clean up broken tube, just like: stiff paper or
cardboard, sticky tape, damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes.
During Cleanup:
•
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.
•
Place cleanup materials in a sealable container.
After Cleanup:
•
Promptly place all bulb debris and cleanup materials outdoors in a trash
container or protected area until materials can be disposed of properly.
Avoid leaving any bulb fragments or cleanup materials indoors.
•
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.
