Even if it does absorb mercury 70 times better (better than what?) that is not good enough. It would have to absorb mercury 100% to be effective. Any mercury in the home from broken light bulbs is totally unacceptable. If mercury gets in floor carpeting it is impossible to extract. No, this is propaganda to ease the mind of the public about using mercury bulbs. Big business is determined to force this poisonous light bulb on the trusting public. However it will be stopped. Just watch. This nanomaterial that supposedly absorbs mercury has to be a fraud to make people think that it is now safe to use compact fluorescent bulbs in their homes.
