With our one-time use kits, you can be confident about the cleanup and worry-free about long-term exposure effects for people and pets.

Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (CFLs) are energy efficient bulbs that contain mercury vapor, the most harmful form of mercury for living, breathing organisms. Inhalation of high exposures of mercury vapor can cause sudden effects such as, headaches, cough, chest pain, soreness of mouth, loss of teeth, nausea and diarrhea. Long-term exposure can also lead to permanent lung scarring and kidney damage. The side effects develop gradually and are associated with central nervous system functions.

Although CFLs contain a very small amount of mercury vapor, proper cleanup will help reduce the risks associated with exposure.

Acton Technologies' HgX® product is a truemore decontaminant of mercury and mercury vapor. When employed, HgX® reacts rapidly forming a film over the nearly invisible mercury and reacting to produce a non-vaporizing sulfide. HgX® is not harmful; none of its components are classified as toxic. When particles of HgX® are left on cleaned surfaces, these particles are reactivated during subsequent cleaning sessions and continually work for you.

Acton Technologies' CFL Clean-up Kit is everything one needs to take care of a minor breakage and truly decontaminate the area. With our one-time use kits, you can be confident about the clean up and need not worry about long term exposure effects for children, pets and loved ones. less
