Neutralizing mercury with ozone if a thermometer is broken

Liquid mercury evaporates at room temperature, causing elevated levels of mercury vapor in the room. Mercury vapor is odorless. Even a small amount of mercury from a broken thermometer can cause harm, especially to children, if it is not cleaned and removed properly.

By using an air ozonator mercury vapor in the air and on surfaces can be effectively eliminated. This is important because even after thorough cleaning, indoor mercury vapor and trace particles remain and can be harmful to health. Mercury vapor in low concentrations and with little contact time may not cause obvious health effects in the short term. But prolonged exposure can lead to intoxication and serious health effects such as difficulty walking, weakness, headaches, loss of appetite, inflamed gums, and skin redness.

Mercury vapors can cause major health problems. They are formed at room temperature, especially when heated. The vapors can enter the body with respiration and thus be absorbed into the body. Immediate effects of inhaling highly concentrated vapors include coughing, sore throat, difficulty breathing, chest pain, vomiting, and headache.

Getting into the vacuum cleaner mercury is heated and dispersed, this contributes to its greater evaporation. Mercury vapor is naturally not captured by the bag in the vacuum cleaner, as the bag can hold large particles, but not vapor. As a result, the concentration of poisonous vapors increases during such collection.
