What shall we do if mercury (Hg)-spill from clinical thermometer?

Sunday, August 15, 2010

Do not touch the mercury. Remove watch/jewellery to get contaminated with mercury vapor. Never use a vacuum cleaner or a broom to collect mercury beads. Use cardboard sheets to push beads of mercury and use a syringe to suck these beads. Then keep it in a plastic bag and air tight it. Further keep it in the container and dispose it off at a hazardous waste facility.
