MERCURY DISPOSAL SERVICE №1
Let’s talk about games. Not the ones that thrones play. Well them! Let’s leave that to the lovers of dragons and pale men on dead horses.
I’m talking about serious games. About games with mercury. Many adults and even some teenagers are aware that this beautiful liquid spreading in mobile droplets is actually metal. And besides, a huge explosive, sorry, poisonous force.
But the little one, due to their ignorance and curiosity, is quite capable of playing with this insidious poison. After such games, adults have to decide how to collect mercury and save the whole family from disability, or even a long painful death.
Yes, it’s not like that! This silver-gray metal only looks beautiful and interesting. In fact, when it enters the body, it leads to acute poisoning, loss of vision, severe chronic damage to the lungs, liver, kidneys, brain, and even dementia.
The list of sores is such that neither you nor I dreamed of. What happens to the victims of mercury poisoning, as the spirit will tell only pathologists.
Remember: mercury belongs to substances of the first class of danger! This is sooo serious.
Mercury is in every home. Where? In the good old thermometers. Now, of course, they began to produce mercury-free temperature meters. However, most citizens habitually use mercury.
To create an ecological catastrophe within a radius of 150 m2, it is enough to accidentally break just one such thermometer. This is where the problem arises, how to collect mercury so as not to aggravate the situation.
Mercury does not even need to be touched to receive a dose of poison. The metal is able to evaporate at room temperature. And these fumes are enough to hurt many people.
And do you know what experts say who have studied the habits of this brilliant and silent enemy? Neither a flu mask nor a scarf wrapped around your face can protect you from it. So forget about those home-made “safety products”! They are useless.
Here it happened: the thermometer was broken. The situation is critical, but you, as an adult and reasonable man, should be prepared for such tricks. Act quickly and decisively:
Firstly, professional liquidators know all the rules for handling poisonous substances of hazard class I and will instruct you on how to act in your particular case. How to collect mercury depends on many inputs.
There are all sorts of situations: for someone, mercury spilled on the carpet, for someone – in a pot of flowers. Here you need to act differently.
Secondly, only specialists will be able to detect all those microscopic droplets of mercury that have managed to roll under a sofa, wardrobe or into a child’s toys. So the brigade of liquidators will still have to be called. So reliable
.
You might not immediately notice that the child smashed the thermometer to pieces and for some time rolled shiny beads of mercury on the floor. If you inhale its toxic fumes, you feel:
Symptoms are mild at first and then get worse. In any case, don’t wait, call an ambulance! Call the mercury service while the source remains, the poisoning will intensify!
And of course, when the family and loved ones are already safe, with peace of mind and a sense of accomplishment, you can return to the Game of Thrones!
