"@ARP: Don't believe myths, but do read the EPA's disposal instructions: Before Clean-up: Air Out the Room * Have people and pets leave the room, and don't let anyone walk through the breakage area on their way out. * Open a window and leave the room for 15 minutes or more. * Shut off the central forced-air heating/air conditioning system, if you have one. Clean-Up Steps for Hard Surfaces * Carefully scoop up glass pieces and powder using stiff paper or cardboard and place them in a glass jar with metal lid (such as a canning jar) or in a sealed plastic bag. * Use sticky tape, such as duct tape, to pick up any remaining small glass fragments and powder. * Wipe the area clean with damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes."
