Researchers from Yale University have conducted a study showing compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) instead of incandescent bulbs produce a net global reduction of toxic mercury emissions. However, not all parts of the world should use them—instead they should stay with incandescent bulbs. Why? Find out below!
