How to do the mercury thermometer on the bed
Mercury leakage room should be isolated from other rooms to maintain the best ventilation conditions for mercury leakage. If other rooms are occupied, it is best to maintain good ventilation conditions. Mercury content of household thermometer is 0.5g, for an area of 80 square meters, 2.5 meters high in the room, a mercury thermometer completely volatilized mercury in air volume is 2.5mg/m3, which is 100 times the United States gaseous mercury safety standards, so the collection of liquid mercury and ventilation of these two steps is a must. EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency) recommends proper collection of mercury for at least 24 hours. If there is a fan at home, ventilation can be used to speed up the flow of gas to the fan; the higher the temperature, the higher the saturation pressure of mercury vapor, the faster the rate of evaporation of mercury, so to maintain the room temperature ventilation.
Use the tape to stick the mercury ball down and move it into the plastic bag. In order to prevent rupture and leakage, plastic bags the best set of layers. If mercury spills into the dark, you can use the principle of mercury reflection, with a flashlight to help find, this method can also find a special small mercury particles.
Another application of broken glass, plastic bags, plastic bags filled with mercury to puncture. If necessary, a plastic bag containing mercury is enclosed in a glass container, such as a glass with a lid. The collected mercury should be disposed of by the sanitation department and should not be thrown directly into the sewer or garbage bin.
