ALWAYS GO TO MERCURY SERVICE #1
In the Middle Ages, mercury was actively used in the production of silver mirrors and gold items, which caused severe poisoning, as modern scientists have found. Currently, the high toxicity of “liquid metal” is beyond doubt, so its use should be as limited as possible. Any contact with mercury poses a serious health hazard. That is why decontamination work should only be carried out by professionals.

QUESTION FROM VASILY:A friend tells me that in childhood he played with mercury from a thermometer. Why didn't he get poisoned?
The danger of mercury is proven and undeniable. In order to determine the fact and consequences of mercury poisoning, it is necessary to undergo a special examination for the presence of mercury in the body. Symptoms of mercury intoxication can be confused with other ailments. Feeling a deterioration in well-being, no one associates this with a broken thermometer or playing with mercury.

INTERESTED IN MARIA:Mercury thermometer contains little mercury and is it not dangerous?
A mercury thermometer contains an average of 2-3 grams of mercury. This amount is more than enough to create an excess of permissible values, in a standard room of 15 meters, by 15-20 times. These values are hazardous to health. Especially for children, pregnant women, and the elderly.

OLGA ASKSIf it's so dangerous, why isn't anyone rushing to save me?
According to Article 30 of the J.K.R.F., responsibility for maintenance, including sanitary conditions, rests entirely with the owner. In the event of a spill of mercury in a social tenancy (communal apartments, dormitories, etc.), or in crowded places (public transport, a clinic, etc.), due to the threat of mass poisoning, an operational group must leave to eliminate the spill. Departure is paid from the city budget. At the same time, an administrative, in some cases a criminal case is opened against those responsible for the incident. For small spills in an apartment (private property), emergency services are limited to advice over the phone, as long as the spill does not pose a danger to people in neighboring premises. The owner must either clean it up himself or call a mercury elimination service at his own expense.
