Mercury poisoning of Chinese factory workers
In the past decade, hundreds of Chinese factory workers who manufacture
CFLs for export to first world countries were being poisoned and
hospitalized because of mercury exposure. Examples include workers at
the Nanhai Feiyang lighting factory in Foshan where 68 out of 72 were so
badly poisoned that they required hospitalization. At another CFL
factory in Jinzhou, 121 out of 123 employees were found to have
excessive mercury levels with one employee's mercury level 150 times the
accepted standard.[60]
