If I inhale a small amount as much as a thermometer of mercury every day, can I get poisoned? What

It will be mercury poisoning, and if there is a black line on the gums, you will be miserable, so go to the hospital immediately. Inhale the thermometer so much mercury or every day, it is not a small amount

Mercury accumulates in the body, and these things can't be excreted.

If it's a job, it's better to change jobs!

Health definitely comes first.

Isn't mercury mercury?

Mercury-containing industrial wastewater irrigates vegetables Eating such vegetables can cause mercury poisoning Don't you know?

So of course it will be poisoned.

Theoretically, mercury will produce mercury vapor in the air at room temperature, which will have a certain toxic effect on the human body.

However, this is only an extreme case, and in practice, the mercury thermometer will not be completely instantaneous when the mercury thermometer is broken, and the room will not be airtight. But we should also pay enough attention, especially if there are pregnant women and children in the family.

Only inhalation of a large amount of mercury vapor in a short period of time may cause mercury poisoning, which is clinically manifested as fever, dizziness, headache and other symptoms, as well as oral inflammation or gastroenteritis, acute bronchitis, and in severe cases, it can damage the lungs, kidneys and central nervous system. Once you have these symptoms, you should seek medical attention in time, and mild and chronic mercury poisoning can be **, and there is no need to have a burden of thought.

Once broken, do not simply wipe it with a napkin, etc., and be sure to open the window quickly for ventilation.

Mercury vapor concentrations of milligrams per cubic meter can cause acute poisoning.

Mercury-toxic pneumonia can occur when accidentally exposed to large amounts of metallic mercury, mainly as interstitial pneumonia, which can lead to severe dyspnea and death, and in a few severe cases, kidney damage. At a concentration of milligrams per cubic meter, it can cause chronic poisoning, manifested by neurasthenic syndrome and three typical symptoms, namely excitability, intention tremor and stomatitis. Symptoms of oral acute mercury poisoning are tightness and pain in the throat, abdominal pain, nausea, etc.

If it's just mercury (metallic mercury) dripping from a thermometer when it's broken, then as long as you don't touch it, it won't cause any damage to people, so rest assured.

Generally speaking, the mercury content in a thermometer is only about 1 gram, and the dose is limited, as long as it is cleaned up in time, it is not easy to cause mercury poisoning. However, many home sphygmomanometers use a large dose of mercury, once broken, the mercury overflows, which must be paid enough attention.

Liquid mercury evaporates quickly when it is scattered on the ground, and the higher the temperature, the faster it evaporates. When the concentration of mercury in indoor air exceeds the standard, it can cause headache, fever, abdominal cramps, difficulty breathing and other poisoning symptoms.

Mercury is the only metal in a liquid state at room temperature, and once the supplies containing it are broken, the mercury will soon evaporate and form a sphere to roll off, so immediately turn off all the heating devices in the room and open the windows for ventilation.

Wear gloves and collect the mercury as soon as possible. The method of collection is to use a small wet cotton swab or tape paper to collect the mercury spilled on the ground, put it into a small bottle that can be sealed, such as a plastic bottle such as a beverage bottle, and add a small amount of water to the bottle, and write "waste mercury" and other identifying words on the bottle, and hand it over to the waste liquid management personnel of the community neighborhood committee for disposal or send it to the environmental protection department for special treatment.

Never pour the collected mercury down the drain to avoid contamination elsewhere.

For mercury that cannot be completely collected on the ground, you can use sulfur powder (most pharmacies have **) to sprinkle it on the place where the mercury is spilled. When mercury encounters sulfur, it produces a non-volatile mercury sulfide compound, which prevents mercury from volatilizing into the air, so that mercury pollution is non-existent.

Mercury can evaporate into a gaseous state at room temperature, which can easily be inhaled into the respiratory tract and cause poisoning. Therefore, it is best to wear a mask when handling mercury scattered on the ground.

If the wound touches mercury, you should go to the poison prevention department of the hospital for examination to prevent poisoning.

If the mercury thermometer is broken at home and treated in a timely and clean manner, and the ventilation conditions in the home are relatively good, it will generally not cause mercury poisoning.

When the thermometer is broken, mercury will immediately form a lot of small mercury beads when it falls on the ground or on indoor tables and chairs. Because mercury has a low boiling point and is easily volatile, it will evaporate after being scattered, which will soon pollute the indoor air, and may also be absorbed into the blood through the respiratory tract, causing poisoning.

The maximum allowable concentration of mercury in the air is milligram cubic meter, and in general, people can quickly cause poisoning in an environment with milligram concentration of mercury in the milligram cubic meter. If the mercury is completely volatilized, the concentration of mercury in the indoor air can reach 22 milligrams of cubic meters, which greatly exceeds the allowable standard and will seriously endanger human health.

The thermometer is mercury, the chemical name is mercury, is a white liquid, easy to evaporate at room temperature, the higher the temperature, the more evaporation, easy to be adsorbed by the floor gap, walls and clothes, etc., mainly in the form of steam through the respiratory tract into the body, can also be contacted into the body. The harm of mercury to the human body is mainly the nervous system, which is manifested by dizziness, numbness and pain in the limbs. The amount of mercury after the body temperature table is broken is not much, so it will not cause poisoning, but it is necessary to pay attention to protection.

If the thermometer is broken on the ground, in addition to cleaning the glass chips to prevent punctures, the mercury should also be cleaned up in time to prevent mercury from polluting the ambient air.

Tin foil for mercury** because it is easily absorbed by mercury.

Mercury that falls into the crevices is stuffed with sulfur or ferric chloride, which reacts with mercury to eliminate the hazard.

Rinse the floor with 5% 10% ferric chloride or 10% bleach supernatant to have a certain mercury removal effect.

Summary. Ingestion of mercury in the thermometer generally does not cause poisoning. Because mercury is a metallic mercury, it generally does not undergo chemical reactions in the intestines and is not absorbed in the intestines.

Is mercury in a thermometer toxic? What to do if you accidentally eat it.

Ingestion of mercury in the thermometer generally does not cause poisoning. Because mercury is a metallic mercury, it generally does not undergo chemical reactions in the intestines and is not absorbed in the intestines.

Ingestion of mercury in the thermometer, if the mucosa of the digestive tract is not damaged, the mercury will hardly be absorbed, and generally will not cause poisoning, so it is recommended that the patient drink more milk and soy milk to protect the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, and can eat some crude fiber food to promote bowel movement to promote the excretion of mercury, and the mercury will be excreted through feces in about 3-5 days. However, due to the high specific gravity of mercury, it is easy to cause intestinal perforation, so it is necessary to do dynamic chest and abdominal X-ray examination to locate and track the excretion of mercury.

If the mucosa of the patient's mouth and digestive tract is broken, mercury can enter the bloodstream, usually within a few minutes to tens of minutes after taking it, it can cause poisoning symptoms, patients will have nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, severe patients will have oliguria, anuria and other manifestations of acute renal failure, for this part of the patients need to go to the hospital in time.

The mercury in the thermometer will not cause poisoning if it is sealed in the thermometer.

1. General**: 1. Gastric lavage: If the mercury is still in the stomach, it can be treated with normal saline gastric lavage; 2. Catharsis: If mercury has entered the intestines, magnesium sulfate, mannitol and other enemas can be used to catharsis to promote the discharge of mercury from the body as soon as possible and avoid mercury poisoning.

2. Drug**: It is generally used for patients who have experienced symptoms of mercury poisoning such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, cramps, and convulsions. 1. Antispasmodic and antidiarrheal:

After the onset of symptoms, it is necessary to take antispasmodic and analgesic drugs such as scopolamine and belladonna as well as antiemetic and antidiarrheal drugs such as metoclopramide, domperidone, and montmorillonite powder under the guidance of a doctor in a timely manner; 2. Correction of dehydration: Normal saline, glucose solution, etc. can be intravenously infused to ensure the balance of water and electrolytes in the body and promote the excretion of mercury.

In addition, the thermometer for daily use is made of glass, which is easy to break, so care should be taken when using it to avoid breaking it and accidentally ingesting it. In addition, parents should pay attention to the use of mercury thermometers for children. At the same time, it is recommended to use an electronic thermometer, which helps to avoid mercury leakage and is more convenient to use.
