    Mercury volatilizes very quickly, as long as it is ventilated, it will be fine, please rest assured.

    Toxicity Pure mercury is toxic, its compounds and salts are very toxic, and can cause brain and liver damage when taken orally, inhaled, or exposed, so most of today's thermometers use alcohol instead of mercury, but some medical thermometers still use mercury because of their high accuracy.

    At standard air pressure and temperature, the biggest danger of pure mercury is that it easily oxidizes and produces mercury oxide, which tends to form small particles and increase its surface area.

    Although pure mercury is less toxic than its compounds, it is still a dangerous pollutant because it forms organic compounds in living organisms.

    The most dangerous mercury organic compound is dimethylmercury (C2H6HG), which can be lethal when exposed to just a few microliters of mercury.

    Mercury sulfide is a less toxic compound.

    Mercury can accumulate in living organisms and is easily absorbed by the respiratory and digestive tracts. Minamata disease is a type of mercury poisoning. Mercury damages central nervous system tissues and has adverse effects on the mouth, mucous membranes and teeth.

    Prolonged exposure to high mercury can lead to brain damage and death. Despite the high boiling point of mercury, the saturated mercury vapor at room temperature has reached several times the toxic dose.

    Therefore, special care should be taken when handling mercury. Containers containing mercury should be particularly protected from spillage or evaporation, and heating of mercury must be carried out under a well-ventilated and well-filtered hood. In addition, some mercury compounds are automatically reduced to pure mercury, which evaporates and is often overlooked.

    In heavily polluted areas, mercury can fall with rainwater. Most of the mercury in the atmosphere comes from East Asia. [1]

    No, the mercury does not usually get on the hands, and the mercury on the ground is generally sprinkled with sulfur powder and then cleaned up.

    No, mercury poisoning is a cumulative poisoning, and mainly through the respiratory tract, inhalation of mercury vapor causes poisoning, occasional contact with mercury will not cause serious poisoning, but you better not touch mercury casually in the future, when mercury spills on the ground, sprinkle sulfur powder on it to remove mercury, to ensure that there is no mercury vapor in the environment.

    Summary. Kiss, mercury is not toxic in 8 hours, under normal circumstances, the volatility is relatively strong, so it is necessary to create ventilation after crushing, and there is no toxicity after volatilization.

    Kiss, mercury 8 holes calendar small socks are not poisonous, in general, volatility is relatively strong, so after breaking must create a Tongna or search wind, after volatilization there is no toxicity.

    In addition, mercury can be treated in the following ways:

    1. If there is sulfur powder at home, it can be scattered in the place where liquid mercury flows, and it can be turned into mercury sulfide through chemical action, and mercury sulfide will not be absorbed and affect health. Liquid rubber mold stupid mercury will not volatilize into the air in large quantities to cause harm to the human body, but also pay attention to indoor ventilation. Clause.

    2. If a child's hand is broken and comes into contact with mercury, he should be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

    Summary. In order to avoid poisoning, the correct way to deal with the mercury thermometer after it is broken is: Open the window and maintain good ventilation Collect the mercury on the ground with a tool and seal it, and try not to contact the mercury with your hands in the process You can use ferric chloride solution, bleach solution or sulfur powder to clean the ground <>

    It is also possible to vacuum the entire room. Dear, as long as you clean up in time and keep the air circulating, there is generally no big problem<>

    Mercury is no longer toxic in a few hours.

    Hello dear<>

    Mercury has a certain degree of toxicity, and if it is broken by a thermometer, the mercury in it usually evaporates at room temperature in about eight hours. It takes 4 or 8 calls or hours to play the <>

    Dear, if the body shouts that the mold thermometer is broken, in the case of opening the window for ventilation, it will be non-toxic for about 8 hours<>

    Mercury volatilizes into a gaseous state in the room, which is easily inhaled by the human body, resulting in poisoning. Therefore, it is necessary to take corresponding measures in time, and after the mercury has evaporated, the room will be non-toxic <>

    It is also possible to vacuum the entire room. Dear, as long as you clean up in time and keep the air circulating in the wild, there is generally no big problem<>

    Dear, although the mercury will volatilize after a few hours in the air circulation room, but the general complete volatilization should be more than 24 hours of dismantling and seepage, so after cleaning the mercury, for the sake of safety, we should not close the window for the time being, to keep the indoor air circulation [love travel spine you empty].

    Under normal circumstances, after the mercury body is broken and the land thermometer is broken, the volatile mercury usually reaches the poisoning standard, so if it can be treated in time, it will generally not cause serious effects on the human body. However, if there are subsequent symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting, it may be mercury poisoning, and it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately [2021].

    What to do if the mercury thermometer is broken:

    1. You can use a moist cotton swab (medical cotton swab) or tape paper to collect the mercury sprinkled 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, which can prevent the mercury from evaporating.

    2. Special attention should be paid to the action when collecting, and the window should be opened, good ventilation should be maintained, and the hands should not be in contact with mercury as much as possible.

    3. Do not pour the collected mercury into the sewer, if the mercury seeps into the groundwater and is drunk by people, heavy metals will harm human health, so it is recommended to send the collected waste mercury to the environmental protection department.

    4. For mercury that cannot be completely collected on the ground, you can sprinkle some sulfur powder to reduce the toxicity of mercury and keep the windows ventilated for a long time. Due to the high density of mercury vapor, exhaust devices such as fans and ventilation fans can be used to speed up the removal of mercury vapor from the air.

    5. For rooms contaminated with mercury, iodine and alcohol can be used to ignite and fumigate to make iodine and mercury in the air form non-volatile mercury iodide, so as to reduce the concentration of mercury vapor in the air. It can also be used to rinse mercury-contaminated floors with 10% bleaching powder, which also has a certain mercury removal effect.

    Summary. Mercury cannot be left out for a few hours without toxicity because mercury is a toxic substance, which is affected by various factors such as air, temperature, light, etc., and mercury will undergo a chemical reaction to convert the toxic substances in mercury into other toxic substances, so the toxicity of mercury will not disappear because it is left for a few hours. To make mercury non-toxic, specific treatment processes such as precipitation, desertification, and wet precipitation are required, all of which can effectively reduce the toxicity of mercury to levels below safe standards.

    It's okay, as long as your ** is in good condition.

    What's the matter, did you break the thermometer, it is recommended to deal with it urgently. Mercury is volatile and toxic.

    Turn off all heating devices in the room and open windows for ventilation. Then wear gloves, use a small shovel to collect the mercury and bury it deeply, or sprinkle some sulfur powder on it, sulfur and mercury reaction can produce mercury sulfide that is not easily soluble in water, and the harm will be greatly reduced. Since mercury can evaporate into a gaseous state at room temperature, it can easily be inhaled into the respiratory tract and cause poisoning, so it is best to wear a mask when handling mercury scattered on the ground. This is standard practice.

    If the mercury gently touches the arm, it is not a big problem, but if the mercury touches the arm in large quantities, and there is a breach in the arm, it must be treated in the hospital, otherwise it will lead to the situation of mercury poisoning. If the mercury is lightly touched with the hand, it will not cause serious poisoning, but after a large amount of mercury is exposed to the hand, it needs to be dried outdoors immediately, that is, the mercury on the hand is dried through the air, so that it can be volatilized and released as much as possible, and then go to the hospital to wipe it three times with alcohol, and then wipe it with iodine and then one step.

    Hello dear, Kai Leak. If the mercury gently touches the arm, it is not a big problem, but if the mercury touches the arm in large quantities, and the stare is rotten and there is still a break in the arm, it must be treated in the hospital, otherwise it will lead to mercury poisoning. If you gently touch the mercury with your hands, it will not cause serious poisoning, but after a large amount of mercury contact with your hands, you need to immediately go outdoors to dry the mercury on your hands through the air, so that it can volatilize and release as much as possible, and then go to the hospital to wipe it three times with alcohol, and then wipe it with iodine and then one step, if there is a wound on the hand, you should also wash the wound with hydrogen peroxide, and then dry it naturally.
