    Energy saving light bulbs contains carcinogenic chemicals

    Did we do this one yet?

    Lots of references to "researcher" and "scientists", although a name and institution was mentioned in the end.

    Scientists have warned that prolonged contact with the European Union-imposed bulbs could put people at risk after discovering that they "pulse out" poisonous materials when switched on.

    These include phenol - a poison used by the Nazis to kill concentration camp victims

    The German scientists behind the report advise that the bulbs should not be left on for extended periods, especially near a person's head.
    Hmm.
