EPA on HOW TO CLEAN UP A NEW LIGHTBULB. Humans use mercury in a variety of manufacturing processes and products such as thermometers and fluorescent bulbs. If you improperly dispose of products with mercury in them, they may break and release mercury vapors which are harmful to human and ecological health. Dispose of used mercury-containing items properly. Clean up mercury spills properly and report them to the proper authorities when necessary. Spills What Never to Do with a Mercury Spill Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean up mercury (but see the "What to Do if a Fluorescent Light Bulb Breaks" section below for more specific instructions about vacuuming broken fluorescent light bulbs). The vacuum will put mercury into the air and increase exposure. Never use a broom to clean up mercury. It will break the mercury into smaller droplets and spread them.  Never pour mercury down a drain. It may lodge in the plumbing and cause future problems during plumbing repairs. If discharged, it can cause pollution of the septic tank or sewage treatment plant. Never wash clothing or other items that have come in direct contact with mercury in a washing machine, because mercury may contaminate the machine and/or pollute sewage. Clothing that has come into direct contact with mercury should be discarded. By "direct contact," we mean that mercury was (or has been) spilled directly on the clothing. For example: if you broke a mercury thermometer and some of elemental mercury beads came in contact with your clothing, or if you broke a compact fluorescent bulb (CFL) so that broken glass and other material from the bulb, including mercury-containing powder, came into contact with your clothing. You can, however, wash clothing or other materials that have been exposed to the mercury vapor from a broken CFL, like the clothing you happened to be wearing when you cleaned up the broken CFL, as long as that clothing has not come into direct contact with the materials from the broken bulb.  Never walk around if your shoes might be contaminated with mercury. Contaminated clothing can also spread mercury around. What to Do if a Fluorescent Light Bulb Breaks Compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) are lighting more homes than ever before, and EPA is encouraging Americans to use and recycle them safely. Carefully recycling CFLs prevents the release of mercury into the environment and allows for the reuse of glass, metals and other materials that make up fluorescent lights. EPA is continually reviewing its clean-up and disposal recommendations for CFLs to ensure that the Agency presents the most up-to-date information for consumers and businesses. Maine's Department of Environmental Protection released a CFL breakage study report on February 25, 2008. EPA has conducted an initial review of this study and, as a result of this review, we have updated the CFL cleanup instructions below. Pending the completion of a full review of the Maine study, EPA will determine whether additional changes to the cleanup recommendations are warranted. The agency plans to conduct its own study on CFLs after thorough review of the Maine study.Fluorescent light bulbs contain a very small amount of mercury sealed within the glass tubing. EPA recommends the following clean-up and disposal below. Please also read the information on this page about what never to do with a mercury spill. Before Clean-up: Air Out the Room Have people and pets leave the room, and don't let anyone walk through the breakage area on their way out. Open a window and leave the room for 15 minutes or more. Shut off the central forced-air heating/air conditioning system, if you have one. Clean-Up Steps for Hard Surfaces Carefully scoop up glass pieces and powder using stiff paper or cardboard and place them in a glass jar with metal lid (such as a canning jar) or in a sealed plastic bag. Use sticky tape, such as duct tape, to pick up any remaining small glass fragments and powder. Wipe the area clean with damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes. Place towels in the glass jar or plastic bag. Do not use a vacuum or broom to clean up the broken bulb on hard surfaces. Clean-up Steps for Carpeting or Rug Carefully pick up glass fragments and place them in a glass jar with metal lid (such as a canning jar) or in a sealed plastic bag. Use sticky tape, such as duct tape, to pick up any remaining small glass fragments and powder. If vacuuming is needed after all visible materials are removed, vacuum the area where the bulb was broken. Remove the vacuum bag (or empty and wipe the canister), and put the bag or vacuum debris in a sealed plastic bag. Clean-up Steps for Clothing, Bedding and Other Soft Materials If clothing or bedding materials come in direct contact with broken glass or mercury-containing powder from inside the bulb that may stick to the fabric, the clothing or bedding should be thrown away. Do not wash such clothing or bedding because mercury fragments in the clothing may contaminate the machine and/or pollute sewage. You can, however, wash clothing or other materials that have been exposed to the mercury vapor from a broken CFL, such as the clothing you are wearing when you cleaned up the broken CFL, as long as that clothing has not come into direct contact with the materials from the broken bulb. If shoes come into direct contact with broken glass or mercury-containing powder from the bulb, wipe them off with damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes. Place the towels or wipes in a glass jar or plastic bag for disposal. Disposal of Clean-up Materials Immediately place all clean-up materials outdoors in a trash container or protected area for the next normal trash pickup. Wash your hands after disposing of the jars or plastic bags containing clean-up materials. Check with your local or state government about disposal requirements in your specific area. Some states do not allow such trash disposal. Instead, they require that broken and unbroken mercury-containing bulbs be taken to a local recycling center. Future Cleaning of Carpeting or Rug: Air Out the Room During and After Vacuuming The next several times you vacuum, shut off the central forced-air heating/air conditioning system and open a window before vacuuming. Keep the central heating/air conditioning system shut off and the window open for at least 15 minutes after vacuuming is completed. Have everyone else leave the area; don't let anyone walk through the mercury on their way out. Make sure all pets are removed from the area. Open all windows and doors to the outside; shut all doors to other parts of the house. DO NOT allow children to help you clean up the spill. Mercury can be cleaned up easily from the following surfaces: wood, linoleum, tile and any similarly smooth surfaces. If a spill occurs on carpet, curtains, upholstery or other absorbent surfaces, these contaminated items should be thrown away in accordance with the disposal means outlined below. Only cut and remove the affected portion of the contaminated carpet for disposal. Cleanup Instructions Put on rubber, nitrile or latex gloves. If there are any broken pieces of glass or sharp objects, pick them up with care. Place all broken objects on a paper towel. Fold the paper towel and place in a zip lock bag. Secure the bag and label it as directed by your local health or fire department. Locate visible mercury beads. Use a squeegee or cardboard to gather mercury beads. Use slow sweeping motions to keep mercury from becoming uncontrollable. Take a flashlight, hold it at a low angle close to the floor in a darkened room and look for additional glistening beads of mercury that may be sticking to the surface or in small cracked areas of the surface. Note: Mercury can move surprising distances on hard-flat surfaces, so be sure to inspect the entire room when "searching." Use the eyedropper to collect or draw up the mercury beads. Slowly and carefully squeeze mercury onto a damp paper towel. Place the paper towel in a zip lock bag and secure. Make sure to label the bag as directed by your local health or fire department. After you remove larger beads, put shaving cream on top of small paint brush and gently "dot" the affected area to pick up smaller hard-to-see beads. Alternatively, use duct tape to collect smaller hard-to-see beads. Place the paint brush or duct tape in a zip lock bag and secure. Make sure to label the bag as directed by your local health or fire department. OPTIONAL STEP: It is OPTIONAL to use commercially available powdered sulfur to absorb the beads that are too small to see. The sulfur does two things: (1) it makes the mercury easier to see since there may be a color change from yellow to brown and (2) it binds the mercury so that it can be easily removed and suppresses the vapor of any missing mercury. Where to get commercialized sulfur? It may be supplied as mercury vapor absorbent in mercury spill kits, which can be purchased from laboratory, chemical supply and hazardous materials response supply manufacturers. Note: Powdered sulfur may stain fabrics a dark color. When using powdered sulfur, do not breathe in the powder as it can be moderately toxic. Additionally, users should read and understand product information before use. If you choose not to use this option, you may want to request the services of a contractor who has monitoring equipment to screen for mercury vapors. Consult your local environmental or health agency to inquire about contractors in your area. Place all materials used with the cleanup, including gloves, in a trash bag. Place all mercury beads and objects into the trash bag. Secure trash bag and label it as directed by your local health or fire department. Contact your local health department, municipal waste authority or your local fire department for proper disposal in accordance with local, state and federal laws. Remember to keep the area well ventilated to the outside (i.e., windows open and fans in exterior windows running) for at least 24 hours after your successful cleanup. Continue to keep pets and children out of cleanup area. If sickness occurs, seek medical attention immediately. View information on health effects related to exposures to vapors from metallic mercury. For additional information on health effects, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) provides a Mercury Fact Sheet that also presents information on health effects related to exposures to vapors from metallic mercury.  Recommendation: If there are young children or pregnant women in the house, seek additional advice from your local or state health or state environmental agency. Spills of More than the Amount in a Thermometer, but Less Than or Similar to Two Tablespoons (One Pound) Cleanup Instructions 1. Have everyone else leave the area; don't let anyone walk through the mercury on their way out.
2. Open all windows and doors to the outside.
3. Turn down the temperature.
4. Shut all doors to other parts of the house, and leave the area.
Don't vacuum.
5. Call your local or state health or environmental agency. Spills of More than Two Tablespoons (One Pound) Any time one pound or more of mercury is released to the environment, it is mandatory to call the National Response Center (NRC). The NRC hotline operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call (800) 424-8802. Note that because mercury is heavy, only two tablespoons of mercury weigh about one pound.

VOLUME XXXIV No. 15 Narrowsburg, NY April 10 - April 16, 2008   THE RIVER REPORTER Western PA landowners regret deep gas wells deals Gasses bubbling out of the ground and into drinking wells and ponds By TOM KANE WASHINGTON COUNTY, PA - At first, farmer Ron Gulla and horse farm owner Joyce Mitchell were excited about the prospect of making money from gas drilling. Now, after more than two years of the presence of drilling companies with their heavy trucks and huge drill rigs, they and many of their neighbors wish they had never signed a lease. “They say one thing to you when they want you to sign, and quite another thing when you’ve signed your land over to them and they begin to do what they want to it,” Mitchell said. Mitchell said the gas company, Range Resources, a subsidiary of Halliburton, told her they would drill only one well. Then, when gas was discovered in a nearby well, they came in and drilled four over her and her husband’s objections. “Our lawyer said to go along with them since they have so many lawyers on their side that we could never win,” she said. The Mitchells receive about $900 a year for all four wells, not $900 apiece, she said. “They’re very secretive about everything, are arrogant and tell you nothing,” she said. Last January, they told her that they struck gas on her property. “That was nearly four months ago and we’ve received nothing,” she said. Her contract is for 14 percent. She doesn’t know whether it’s from the total gas amount or from the net profit. “We’re at their mercy and have to trust them.” Gulla, has had his 141-acre farm destroyed by the drilling, he said. His water well gets muddy whenever it rains, which never occurred before the drilling. The water in his pond is brackish and he has had a fish kill. “People are getting methane in their well like I am,” he said. “It’s happening all around me.” Down the road from him, Emil Alexander, a retired farmer, has had some bad experiences as well. “Gas started welling up in the middle of my fields,” he said. “I could only see it when it rained and you could see it bubbling up.” Alexander complained to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and they came out but didn’t do a whole lot, he said. “There was so much gas around that they put monitors up in my house and told me that I might have to move out until the problem was resolved,” he said. “I really don’t want to move.” The cause of the escaping gas was unknown to the DEP. “They said it might be from another old well that was drilled years ago,” he said. “When they drill a well, they put a whole lot of pressure down the well and I guess the gas gets loose and comes to the surface. Something comes to the surface; whether it’s natural gas or methane makes no difference to me. I just want my air and water to be clear.” Another neighbor, who withheld his name because he was afraid of reprisals, said his well water started to show a dark color. When he complained to the DEP, they only tested for ordinary things like pH, sodium and hard water. “They didn’t test for chemicals and other things that might be in the well drilling fluids,” he said. “When I complained to the company about the color in the water and said that it was caused by a drilling well on another property near to mine, they said, ‘Prove it.’” Before drilling is begun, a landowner should have the water tested for baseline items, he said. “The only problem is that such tests can be very costly.” Gulla, Alexander and Mitchell said that the drilling companies are ruining their once bucolic countryside. “The worst part of it is that the damage they are doing can never be reversed,” Gulla said. “It is forever.” Contributed photo: Stone dust gushes into the air on a horse farm in Hickory, PA from a gas drilling rig. The dust, which was released for several hours on April 6, filled the valley across many acres and was breathed in by family members and by the owner’s horses. It ceased when the owner went to the site complaining and taking pictures.

TODAY'S DEMOCRACY NOW!:

* A Century in Iraq, Replacing UN with "League of Democracies," Rogue State
Rollback? A Look at John McCain's Foreign Policy Vision *

We speak with investigative reporter Robert Dreyfuss about Senator John
McCain¹s vision for foreign policy. ³McCain is drawing up plans for a new
set of global institutions,² Dreyfuss writes, ³from a potent covert
operations unit to a OLeague of Democracies¹ that can bypass the balky
United Nations, from an expanded NATO that will bump up against Russian
interests in Central Asia and the Caucasus to a revived US unilateralism
that will engage in Orogue state rollback¹ against his version of the Oaxis
of evil.¹ In all, it¹s a new apparatus designed to carry the Owar on terror¹
deep into the twenty-first century.²

the Iraqi exile who helped drum up pre-war claims that Saddam Hussein was
developing weapons of mass destruction and had links to al-Qaeda. We speak
with author Aram Roston about Chalabi¹s past, his close ties to the US
government, his role in the US invasion of Iraq and much more.

I have recently posted in several blogs that I disagree with what the Rev. Wright had to say.   I had seen the news clips (who hasn't, they play non-stop on cable news) and was angered by what I saw and heard.    Eventually, somebody pointed out to me that all three clips strung together came to less than 6 minutes of tape.   She suggested that it did not seem to be a fair sample when you consider a 35 year career as a minister.   I dismissed this suggestion because "everyone knows his church is radical" and as an agnostic, it doesn't really matter to me.   I was concerned about the issues of the campaign.   I was concerned with the discussion of race that Obama's speech should generate.   I was NOT concerned with the Rev. Jerimiah Wright.   While thinking about writing this, I went looking on the internet for a longer clip of that now infamous speech.   I found it.    Ten minutes worth of footage.  Five minutes on either side of the "known" quote.     Now I AM concerned!   PLEASE TAKE 10 MINUTES OF YOUR DAY & VIEW THIS FOOTAGE ALL THE WAY THROUGH!!   I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT IN UNDERSTANDING JUST HOW "BAD" THIS MAN REALLY IS!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4RLONpTzEE    Then take a few more minutes to check this out:   http://youtube.com/watch?v=B3sVLHdi_o0

TODAY'S DEMOCRACY NOW!:

* Fed Bailout of Bear Stearns First of its Kind Since Great Depression *

The nation¹s fifth largest investment bank Bear Stearns nearly collapsed
last week. It was saved only after the Federal Reserve took extraordinary
measures to help JPMorgan purchase the eighty-five-year-old firm. The Fed
has become the lender of last resort for other investment banks in a move
that marks one of the broadest expansions of the Fed¹s lending authority
since the 1930s. We speak with Nomi Prins, an author and former investment
banker at Bear Stearns, and Max Fraad Wolff, an economist and writer.

China has acknowledged for the first time that anti-government protests in

groups say dozens of people have been killed and hundreds arrested. We speak
with Lhakpa Kyizom, a Tibetan activist in Dharamsala, India, and Robert

TODAY'S DEMOCRACY NOW!:

* Half a Decade of War: Five Years After Iraq Invasion, Soldiers Testify at
Winter Soldier Hearings *

Five years ago tonight, on March 19, 2003, the US launched the invasion of
Iraq. Half a decade later, as the occupation continues with no end in sight,
some of the most powerful voices against the war have been the men and women
who have fought in it. For four days this past weekend, soldiers convened at
the National Labor College in Silver Spring, Maryland for Winter Soldier, an
eyewitness account of the war and occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan. We
broadcast their voices.

* House Holds Rare Secret Session on Spy Bill *

The House of Representatives postponed a vote on a spy bill Thursday after
Democrats agreed to a request from Republicans to hold a rare secret session
to discuss what they termed classified security matters. It marked the first
time a secret session was held in a quarter of a century and only the sixth
time in the House¹s history. We speak with Ohio Congressmember Dennis
Kucinich, who refused to attend the secret session.
