  I have started to convert over to Compact Flourescent lights in my
home, but recall hearing some concerns regarding an isotope of some
kind in the starter element of the bulb, and how it posed problems
for the environment after disposal. Anyonbe recall what that concern was
and what the isotope is?

Thanks.
