    Like the thermometer we often see, there is mercury in it, and sometimes the thermometer can be broken without paying attention. Then the mercury inside will flow out. Mercury thermometers, it contains metal mercury is a toxic substance, we must be careful in handling, it will affect our body.

    And, like mercury do not let it encounter water above 42 degrees Celsius, there is a high probability of rupture. If the water temperature is particularly high, the evaporation rate of mercury is also different, so it will volatilize when mercury meets air, however, like the mercury in the thermometer will reduce the evaporation after encountering water, and when using the mercury thermometer, it must be avoided from breaking.

    If you accidentally break the mercury thermometer, don't be too nervous, because the amount of mercury contained in a thermometer is very low, you must open the window for ventilation, so as to promote the discharge of mercury and reduce the impact on our human body, and then mercury, it can not be melted with water.

    Another name for mercury is mercury because it is very dense, so it is not soluble in water. It is the only metal that can present a liquid at room temperature, but if the amount of mercury is large, then its toxicity will also increase, and it can be chronic after poisoning.

    There may be tremors, dizziness, headache and fever. There will also be some ulcers, and there will be a symptom of the whole body. If poisoning really occurs, you should go to gastric lavage as soon as possible, or drink some milk, egg whites or soy milk.

    If the mercury falls to the ground after the thermometer is broken, it should be cleaned out immediately to avoid causing mercury poisoning in the respiratory tract, which can evaporate into the air.

    If a small amount of mercury cannot be found, because the mercury is evaporative and will be dispersed in the air through evaporation, you can open the window to ventilate to accelerate the circulation of indoor air, and it will be discharged outside through evaporation in about 1 to 2 days. Iodine wine can also be used to wipe the floor, which can neutralize mercury to form iodide, which is non-toxic and has little effect on human health.

    The mercury thermometer has a thin glass that holds mercury and is easy to break. Once the thermometer is broken, the leakage of mercury may be harmful to human health. Mercury is a liquid metal that is highly volatile and toxic, and improper handling may lead to mercury poisoning in humans.

    What to do when the mercury thermometer is broken:

    When the mercury thermometer is broken, you should cover your mouth and nose at the first time, open doors and windows, pay attention to indoor ventilation, turn off all heating, air conditioning and other heating equipment in the room, and use electric fans to accelerate the rapid circulation of air.

    Wear rubber gloves and masks, you can find disposable syringes or pieces of paper at home, etc., you can use disposable syringes to suck the scattered mercury beads into the syringe or collect them with paper pieces, put them in a sealed bag after collection, and discard them at the corresponding disposal site.

    When the mercury thermometer is broken, remember not to touch it directly with your hands, especially the ** part of the broken culture, nor can you clean it with a mop or rag, so as not to cause poisoning.

    Every time we have a fever, we need to use a thermometer to measure the body temperature, and the thermometer uses the principle of thermal expansion and contraction of mercury to measure body temperature. The thermometers are all made of glass, and the glass is fragile, and if you accidentally break it, the mercury will come out. As we all know, mercury is poisonous, and we should properly dispose of it.

    Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature, and as long as the thing containing it is broken, the mercury will be evaporated by the temperature. Moreover, it is particularly easy to adsorb. It becomes the beginning of pollution, although it does not harm the human body much if inhaled very little, but people who are blind and withered in this environment for a long time will be mercury poisoning.

    Symptoms of poisoning include abdominal pain, diarrhea, hematuria, inflammation of the mouth, muscle tremors, and mental disorders.

    First of all, turn off all household appliances that can generate heat in the room, open the windows to ventilate, and disperse the toxic gas; Then wear protective gloves to prevent it from getting on your hands, use a small shovel or other tool to collect the mercury and bury it deep in the soil, or sprinkle some sulfur powder on it, which is written to form mercury sulfide, which is not easy to melt, so that it will be much less harmful. Since mercury can become gaseous at normal room temperature, it is easy for people to breathe and cause poisoning discomfort, so it is best to wear a mask when collecting mercury scattered on the ground. If the wound touches mercury, go to the hospital immediately for treatment.

    If there are children and pregnant women in the house, due to their poor immune system, once such a thing happens, take them out of the room immediately, let them breathe fresh air, and deal with it before entering the room. However, the mercury in the thermometer is ordinary, and it will not cause particularly much harm to the human body, so don't panic too much.

    Different thermometers need to be treated differently when they are broken, mainly including protection, opening windows for ventilation, collecting scattered mercury and treating mercury. After the mercury thermometer is broken, it may also cause mercury poisoning in the body and even cause environmental pollution.

    Generally, household thermometers are more common in mercury thermometers and electronic thermometers.

    1. Electronic thermometer.

    It is not easy to be broken, and even if it is broken, it will not release harmful substances, so you can simply collect the debris completely and throw it in the trash.

    As long as the debris scattered by the electronic thermometer is cleaned up in time, it will generally not cause harm to the human body and the environment.

    2. Mercury thermometer.

    Mercury thermometers are relatively more accurate in their measurements, but they are easily broken and the encapsulated mercury is scattered on the ground and exposed to the air. Mercury can evaporate into mercury vapor at room temperature, and mercury vapor and mercury compounds are highly toxic, so after the mercury thermometer is broken, it needs to be handled promptly and carefully.

    1. Do a good job of protection.

    Evacuate the surrounding crowd first, wear protective items such as gloves, masks, shoe covers, etc., and prepare containers to collect mercury.

    2. Ventilation. Open windows for ventilation as soon as possible to avoid mercury evaporating into toxic mercury vapor after contact with air, resulting in poisoning after inhalation.

    3. Collect mercury.

    With the help of a light source, the scattered mercury particles are looked for, and the luster on the surface of the mercury particles will be more pronounced when exposed to light. Use adhesive tape or paper towels to collect the mercury into a prepared container.

    4. Treat mercury.

    Seal the collected mercury, used gloves, masks, shoe covers, etc., and send them to the laboratory or environmental protection department for professional disposal.

    Harm. Mercury is metal mercury, which is one of the most toxic metals in the environment, which can evaporate into highly toxic mercury vapor at room temperature, and can also form mercury compounds of varying toxicity after combining with other substances, which are dispersed in soil and water resources, and then enter the human body and cause poisoning.

    When mercury vapor or mercury compounds enter the human body, they are easily absorbed by the human body, and it is difficult to excrete, and it is transported to the whole body through blood circulation, and accumulates in the brain, causing serious damage to the body.

    In addition, it should be noted that the sealed garbage cannot be thrown directly into the trash can to avoid secondary pollution. After treatment, long-term ventilation and thorough cleaning of the floor are also required to minimize mercury residues.

    Can a broken thermometer be poisoned? The working substance of the thermometer is mercury, which is harmful to the human body and the surrounding environment, in case it is accidentally broken, it must be properly disposed of in time to avoid pollution and poisoning to the environment. Generally speaking, if the thermometer is broken, if it is dealt with in time, it will not be poisoned, but if the treatment is improper, or the child accidentally swallows it, then it is necessary to go to the hospital immediately for examination to prevent poisoning.

    When the glass mercury thermometer is broken, the mercury will fall on the ground or on indoor tables and chairs, and the mercury will immediately form many small mercury beads. These small beads of mercury are not easily found. 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 people's health.

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

    No, when the head of the mercury thermometer (or thermometer) is damaged, the mercury inside will spill, but the mercury will volatilize when the temperature is high, so you don't have to worry about opening the window for ventilation. Mercury is toxic, and after leakage, try to avoid contact with it, reduce the inhalation of steam, and never enter it.

    Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature, and when the products containing it are broken, the mercury evaporates. Moreover, it has particularly good adsorption. Mercury vapor is easily adsorbed by walls and clothing, and becomes a source of continuous air pollution.

    Although it will not cause much harm to the body if inhaled in small amounts, it can cause mercury poisoning if inhaled in large amounts for a long time.
