[AMRadio] Johnson Desk

[Bob Bruhns]

Fluorescent light tubes are a much bigger source of mercury, because of the
huge number of them that are tossed annually.  Incinerator smoke scrubbers
can not deal with mercury emissions at all; they just send the mercury
airborne!  This is a primary source of mercury in our environment now.
