You were right! The new low-energy bulbs are a kind of flourescents and contain mercury. Moreover, a Swiss study has just declared that you shouldn't have them within a 30cm radius of your head..
I guess I should buy LED bulbs but they are too expensive for me right now. In case you didn't know, old fashioned bulbs are being phased out in the EU because of the environment.
