An aspect that I have not seen any maths for is the amount of
mercury that has to be recovered/ disposed/lost through broken lamps
compared to the amount of mercury that would be emitted into the
atmosphere through combustion of coal for use of candescents.

In summary it would appear that upping the recycling rate and emission
controls on coal fired power stations in 2018 will be the key to reducing Hg
emissions.
