Spent CFLs may be polluting the environment silently and causing a toxic hazard for kabadiwalas who handle such discarded bulbs. Despite a huge spike in the demand (about 30% in the last five years) for these energy-saving lamps, a recent survey by NGO Toxics Link has found a number of ecological concerns with the management of these lamps.
