Instruction
1
First make sure you open a window leaf or a window to lower the room temperature because the lower the temperature, the less mercury evaporates.
2
Then ask people to leave the room in which you must collect mercury from the floor. Close the door, so as not to spread the mercury balls all over the apartment. At the entrance to the room, lay the rug, treated with a solution of potassium permanganate.
3
Now you can safely proceed to demercurization. Decontamination is the prevention of evaporation of mercury. You can adopt several methods:Now more and more there are sets that neutralize domestic mercury pollution. Attached instructions will help you to do everything correctly step by step. This kit should be kept in the home medicine Cabinet.

If you don't have demercurization kit, large beads tassel collect in paper envelope. Rubber bulb uberite smaller balls, and duct tape or wet swab, collect the small droplets. Collected mercury in a tightly close jar. Then rinse thoroughly and treat it with a solution of potassium permanganate.
5
If the mercury fell in places where it is difficult to remove, use the old-fashioned way - cover them with sulfur. If you have no sulfur, then use a thin plate of metal and put it in the slot. Balls of mercury "will be drawn".
6
If mercury were on soft things, shake them, and then within 4 months ventilate air.

After extraction of mercury, it is necessary to wash the floor. The most affordable and effective way - a solution of soap and soda (500 g of soap, 600 g of baking soda into 8 liters of water). Effectively treat the floor and walls 1% iodine solution, which can be obtained by purchasing a 10% solution of iodine from a pharmacy and dilute it at a ratio of 100 ml per 1 liter of water. Also it would be good to clean the surface of any chlorine-containing agent.
Note
Important! Do not collect beads of mercury into one big ball.
Do not vacuum! The cleaner, when heated, increases the area of evaporation of mercury, and got him the drops will then be distributed in the form of vapor.
