Instruction
1
If crashed thermometer with mercury or mercury lamp in the first place fold their remains into a glass jar. Then spend demercurization of the premises, i.e. take measures to prevent evaporation of mercury.
Decontamination can be mechanical and chemical. When mechanical collection of demercurization of mercury is carried out with the help of improvised means, with the chemical demercurization with the aid of chemical reagents. To completely remove mercury, it is desirable to combine mechanical and chemical decontamination.

Output from the premises where spilled mercury, small children and animals. Close the door to the room and open Windows wide. Wear rubber gloves. Pitch for the face, wet a gauze bandage that protects the respiratory system.
Gather the beads of mercury by using one of the following available tools:
- pull inside medical rubber bulb or syringe without a needle;
let's get the usual brush on a sheet of paper or envelope;
- to stick on a band-aid or tape.
In any case, do not use to collect mercury vacuum cleaner or a damp cloth, this will only increase the evaporation of mercury.

After you collect big balls of mercury, a few times, rinse contaminated surface with a solution of potassium permanganate (2 grams per 1 liter of water).
Even better, if you manage to find sulphur powder (sulfur buy in the store for gardeners). Mercury with sulphur react, which produces the non-volatile mercury sulfide. Only water to dissolve the sulphur is not necessary: just sprinkle its powder on your surfaces.

Fold the collected mercury from the floor and used to collect items in a glass jar, which you have previously laid the remains of a thermometer or bulb, and close the jar lid.
Keep in mind that the disposal of mercury with sewage or garbage is not permitted. So be sure to give a glass jar to the center of demercurization.

Note
Mercury compounds are found in various devices, for example in fluorescent lamps and some types of sphygmomanometers, and mercury thermometers are still in Vogue.
Useful advice
It is not necessary to throw away the container with the collected "poison" in the trash or the garbage disposal that could be harmful to the health of others. Better call the nearest division on the disposal of hazardous substances, which is required to produce subsequent disposal of infested items.
