From the Paper:

"The research will also concentrate on defining the different types of bulbs that are currently available on the market including fluorescent, halogen, neodymium, and regular incandescent light bulbs. In recent years Compact Fluorescent light bulbs have grown in popularity because they have a much longer life span and require less energy than do regular incandescent lights. According to the United States Department of Energy Fluorescent lights utilize "75 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer ("Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs")." However there may be some harmful agents such as mercury contained in the fluorescent bulb. It is believed that the danger in these light bulbs is related to improper disposal or handling of a broken bulb."
