Broken bulb? Evacuate the building according to the EPA

Got this in my mail box. 
Watch this video.   Keep in mind, these are the same energy saving bulbs that are being proposed for the high school to achieve LEED certification. 

I use these bulbs at home and dispose of them at IKEA.  Maybe we should have a recycling program for CFL bulbs here in Mt. Lebanon.

    The Home Depot in Bethel Park will recycle them for you.

    Should one break in a high school science lab, will we need to evacuate just the lab, the two adjoining classrooms or the entire floor as per EPA rules?

    Matthew-
    Thanks for the info! I am in that area almost every day.

    Giffen Good-
    Not sure. Maybe the EPA will require schools to have broken light bulb drills.
