What to do if there is mercury in the water from the kettle

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 absorbed by walls and clothing.

attached, becoming a source of constant air pollution. Although inhaling a small amount of people will not cause much harm to the body, long-term inhalation of large amounts of people will cause mercury poisoning. There are two types of mercury poisoning: acute and chronic

Acute poisoning has symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and hematuria; Chronic poisoning is mainly manifested by oral inflammation, muscle tremors and mental disorders.

Once an item containing mercury is broken, the mercury will form a sphere and roll off. At this time, you should first turn off all heating devices in the room and open the windows for ventilation; Then put on gloves and use a small shovel to collect the mercury and bury it deeply, or sprinkle some sulfur powder on it, the reaction of sulfur and mercury 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 is easy to be sucked into the respiratory tract and cause poisoning, so it is best to wear a mask when handling mercury scattered on the ground.

If the wound touches mercury, it should be examined by the poison prevention and control department of the hospital, and then the poisoning phenomenon is carried out**.

Mercury is a heavy metal that can accumulate in the body and cause a variety of damage, so it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately.

Go to the hospital! Such a thing rushed to the hospital.

Summary. If you accidentally ingest mercury from a mercury thermometer, immediately press it with a spoon, chopsticks, index finger, etc. to the base of the tongue to induce vomiting. This is followed by drinking large amounts of milk, soy milk or raw egg whites, which combine with mercury to produce compounds that cannot be absorbed by the body to protect the mucous membranes and reduce damage.

And seek medical examination in time to clarify where the mercury is in the gastrointestinal tract, and carry out targeted **: 1. General**: 1. Gastric lavage:

If the mercury is still in the stomach, normal saline can be given for 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.

The child had an x-ray and there was no mercury.

If you don't eat it, it has no effect, and after accidentally eating the mercury in the mercury thermometer, you should immediately use a spoon, chopsticks, index finger, etc. to press to the base of the tongue to induce vomiting. This is followed by drinking large amounts of milk, soy milk or raw egg whites, which combine with mercury to produce compounds that cannot be absorbed by the body to protect the mucous membranes and reduce damage. And seek medical examination in time to determine where the mercury is in the gastrointestinal tract and carry out targeted **:

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 intestine, enemas such as magnesium sulfate and mannitol can be used to induce laxatives to promote the discharge of mercury from the body as soon as possible and avoid mercury poisoning.

Do you feel that something is wrong with the child?

There was no discomfort, and x-rays were also done, showing no.

Then it's fine, maybe you didn't eat it.

Is it an x-film taken seven hours after the incident and it has no effect? Pooped this morning as well.

That's fine, rest assured.

Don't worry too much.

Is it that mercury cannot be absorbed by the body. Even if you eat a little, it's fine.

Mercury is poisonous.

Therefore, in the future, you should be careful not to put dangerous items in things that children can reach.

If you really eat mercury. A few hours to do x-rays no. Is it safe?

Pretty much! Did the doctor say anything.

When the mercury in the thermometer is ingested, it generally does not cause serious consequences. Because the amount of mercury in the thermometer is very limited, and after taking mercury, it will not be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, and after about 1-2 days, it will be excreted with the stool.

However, if it stays in the intestine for too long, it may also cause toxic reactions. Therefore, after eating the mercury in the thermometer, it is recommended that it should be excreted in time, and you can drink milk or high-protein foods such as egg whites and soy milk to neutralize it and let it be excreted as soon as possible.

At the same time, you can also take some laxatives to speed up its discharge, and it is recommended to closely observe whether there will be nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and other symptoms, if this is the case, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time.

Precautions for the use of the experimental thermometer:

Check the range and accuracy before use. Do not exceed the range of the thermometer when using. Do not touch the bottom and wall of the beaker with the glass bubble of the thermometer.

The glass bubble should be in full contact with the measured object, and the reading should be carried out after the indication is stable, and the thermometer should not be left from the measured object during reading, and the line of sight should be perpendicular to the thermometer.

When mercury falls into a teapot, it is usually sealed and thrown away with water. Because your kettle has been damaged by mercury, it can't be used anymore. If the amount is relatively small, it can be neutralized with appropriate sulfur powder.

Silver kettles made of sterling silver are generally not harmful to making tea, but if the silver kettle is mixed with other metals, it may cause poisoning and other hazards.

Silver is a common metal that has been widely used in various fields since ancient times, such as coins in ancient times, ornaments, utensils, etc. Is there any harm to human health when making tea in a silver kettle? The answer is no, but only if it's a teapot of sterling silver.

Therefore, the silver kettle tea will not only not endanger human health, but also has a lot of health care effects, such as the silver kettle tea can release a very small amount of silver ions, silver ions can effectively sterilize, disinfect the tea, remove the odor and preserve the effect of preservation. If the silver kettle is not made of sterling silver, it may cause poisoning and other hazards due to impurity metals.

Therefore, as long as it is a sterling silver teapot, it will not cause harm to the body, but has the effect of disinfection, odor removal and antiseptic preservation.

Boiling water from a silver kettle is good for your health, because the silver kettle contains a lot of silver ions, which are beneficial to your health.

Actually, I don't think it's necessary to use a energy kettle to come back and boil water.
