Description:What is Elemental Mercury?
Elemental (metallic) mercury is the shiny, silver-gray metal found in thermometers, barometers, and thermostats and other electrical switches.
• Mercury can break into droplets when spilled. The droplets spread easily and can build up in tiny cracks and spaces in your house.
• Mercury can vaporize (evaporate) into the air in your house. The vapor cannot be seen or smelled.
• Mercury can be toxic to people’s nervous system, lungs and kidneys.
