Konara M. Thilakaratna

Is it unsafe to touch or breathing the exposed air gas that emerges when a halogen, fluorescent, or other type of bulb cracks?

    It's worth ventilating the area if you do break a fluorescent tube.  But the amount of mercury is only a few milligrams.  The biggest problem is going to be finding and safely picking up the broken glass.
