Spilled mercury collection and treatment method

  1. Use a small moist cotton swab or tape to gently stick up the mercury spilled on the ground and put it into a small bottle that can be sealed. Such as beverage bottles and other plastic bottles, and add a small amount of water in the bottle to close, the bottle marked “waste mercury” and other identifying marks, to the unit or community council waste management personnel or sent to the environmental protection department for special treatment. (Note that the environment should be well ventilated) 2. Do not pour the collected mercury into the sewer to avoid contaminating the groundwater source. If the mercury seeps into the groundwater and people drink the water containing heavy metals, it will endanger human health.  3, the mercury dropped on the ground can not be completely collected, can be sprinkled with sulfur powder to reduce the toxicity of mercury. Because the combination of sulfur powder and mercury can form a difficult to volatilize mercury sulfide compounds to prevent mercury volatilization into the air harmful to human health. Mild absorption can drink mung bean soup.  4, such as inadvertently swallowed mercury, should immediately gargle with cold water, after taking raw egg whites or milk, with the help of protein to slow down the body’s absorption of mercury, and then go to the doctor for treatment.
