    Mercury, that is, mercury, is a silvery-white shiny heavy liquid, heavy metal, density, chemically stable, insoluble in acids and alkalis. Mercury can evaporate at room temperature, and mercury vapor and mercury compounds are often highly toxic (chronic). Because the polymerization of Hg is very strong, small droplets will polymerize into large droplets in large quantities, so they sink to the bottom of the water and are difficult to wash away, because they are not in contact with air, so they will not volatilize and will not cause Hg vapor diffusion.

    Pour it in the toilet, pay attention to confirm whether the mercury is flushed down, due to the proportion of mercury, if it can't be flushed, you can use more water, put it a little higher and then flush it down, increase the punch, it should be able to flush down. If you really can't put on gloves (it must be disposable, you can't do anything else) and stick it into the toilet to get it down, in fact, the Hg content in the thermometer is too small, and it is not harmful to people and the environment.

    Mercury is generally fine as long as it is not ingested or comes into contact with wounds.

    The thermometer accidentally shattered on the floor, and the mercury was drained from the toilet, so it didn't matter

    The thermometer was accidentally broken on the ground, and the mercury was poured into the toilet and pumped out, it doesn't matter: the mercury in the thermometer is best not used to flush the toilet, because the mercury is toxic, which will have a certain impact on human health and the environment, and flushing the mercury in the thermometer into the toilet will cause water pollution, which is very bad, so everyone needs to deal with the thermometer mercury and other items that will pollute the environment and harm the body in daily life. If anyone doesn't pay attention to flushing the mercury into the toilet, don't worry too much, because the mercury will be flushed into the manure pond with the water, and then it will be volatilized and eventually diluted by the air, so there will be no danger, and the pollution caused by it will not be very serious.

    Summary. Hello dear, it's okay to throw mercury into the toilet, it is recommended that you clean the ground again, because mercury is likely to remain on the ground.

    Hello dear, it's okay to throw mercury into the toilet, it is recommended that you clean the ground again, because mercury is likely to remain on the ground.

    This will be more secure and safer, and you must pay special attention to children at home.

    Extended Information: Mercury is a toxic liquid metal. Mercury is a silvery-white, shiny, heavy liquid that is chemically stable and insoluble in acids or alkalis.

    Mercury can evaporate at room temperature, and mercury vapor and mercury compounds are highly toxic. Mercury is very cohesive and stable in the air, and evaporates mercury vapor at room temperature, which is highly toxic. Natural mercury is a mixture of seven isotopes of mercury.

    Mercury is slightly soluble in water and increases in solubility in the presence of air. Mercury is ubiquitous in nature, and animals and plants generally contain trace amounts of mercury, so there are trace amounts of mercury in our food, which can be metabolized through excretion, hair, etc.

It is understood that mercury is the only metal in a liquid state at room temperature, and once the supplies containing it are broken, the mercury will evaporate. Moreover, it has particularly good adsorption. Mercury vapor is easily adsorbed by walls and clothing, and becomes a source of continuous air pollution. >>>More

Wash a split surface immediately and re-spray it, or wait for it to dry completely and then sand the damaged surface, and protect the intact area, and re-spray, hopefully.
