In Response To: Re: Mercury - playing safely at home (SVP Neon Equipment)

We are just regular people here... More or less like you. Especially here in Moscow, which looks now like a bit dirty and run-down part of Europe.

Okay. Let's go back to the topic.

You put some doubt by saying that red phosphor is toxic. Can you tell which exact color is no good? Any info/MSDS available?

I did some homework, from what I found some classic reds contain vanadium and some very old may contain arsenic. Here may be some concerns.

As for triphosphors they seem not completely benign as I thought previously. Ittrium oxide used in reds is slightly toxic too, but not much.
