    abstract = {Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) are an efficient alternative to traditional lighting because they
consume a fifth of the energy used by incandescent lamps, reducing demand for electricity. However, because
they contain mercury its use requires policies for environmental management. This study aims to analyze the
regulatory framework for environmental management and use of CFLs. Analysis must be countries like the US,
China and the European Community have carried out plans for incorporating LFC and in parallel have
developed environmental policies and reducing the mercury content of these lamps, demonstrating,
environmental and social responsibility in the matter.}
