What about mercury spill? It's spilled all over the sofa
To turn off all the indoor heating device, open the window ventilation; then put on gloves, with a shovel to collect mercury buried, or sprinkle the sulfur powder in the above reaction, sulfur and mercury can generate insoluble in water of mercuric sulfide, will greatly reduce the harm.
With sulphur; used to remove mercury that is not collected. Mercury that is not completely collected on the ground can be sprinkled with sulfur powder to reduce mercury toxicity. Because the sulfur powder and mercury compounds can be formed with HgS to volatilize, prevent the mercury volatilization to endanger human health in the air. Under normal circumstances, Mercury will not soon evaporate, and if broken at home, the thermometer is relatively clean, the ventilation conditions are better in the home, it will not cause mercury poisoning. Sprinkle some sulfur powder on top... Cleaning in progressSpecial note, do not put the collected mercury into the sewer, so as not to pollute the water source. If mercury seeps into groundwater, people drink water containing heavy metals, which can be harmful to human health.
If there is no sulfur home, water collection and processing method is silver, with a wet cotton swab or small tape will be spilled on the ground set up into the mercury stick, can seal the vial, such as beverage bottles and plastic bottles, and add a small amount of water in the bottle, the bottle says "waste mercury" logo the text, to the unit or neighborhood community waste management to the environmental protection department or special treatment.
Because Mercury can evaporate at room temperature and become a gas, it can easily be absorbed into the respiratory tract and cause poisoning, so it is better to wear a mask when dealing with mercury scattered in the ground. If the wound meets mercury, then should go to the hospital poison prevention and control section to carry on the inspection, appears the poisoning phenomenon, carries on the treatment again
