Back to trawling the internet for "eco-loon" scare stories.

Tests on behalf of the NDR consumer magazine market "had" shown that different manufacturers of potentially cancer-causing fumes put lamps, said in a release of the transmitter.

Previously had been about mercury contained in energy-saving light bulbs to consumers confused reports. But this is only released when broken lamps.

Try and find one in English next time....

Heck no. Tungsten lamps have been shown by scientists to release quantities of heat. Heat can be fatal, as tests on Joan of Arc have shown.
