Does mercury next to the kitchen boiler have any health effects?

Mercury, at room temperature is a silvery white liquid, and mercury and most of its compounds are toxic.

Experts point out that mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature, and once it flows out, it evaporates. Moreover, it has particularly good adsorption. Mercury vapor is easily adsorbed by walls and clothing, and becomes a source of continuous air pollution.

Although inhaling it in small amounts will not cause much harm to the body, long-term inhalation of large amounts of people can cause mercury poisoning. There are two types of mercury poisoning: acute poisoning: acute poisoning has symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and hematuria; Chronic poisoning is mainly manifested by oral inflammation, muscle tremors and mental disorders.

In view of your situation, my suggestion is to turn off all the heating appliances in the room and open the windows for ventilation. Then wear gloves and use a small shovel to collect the mercury and bury it deeply, or sprinkle some sulfur powder on it, the reaction of sulfur and mercury can produce mercury sulfide that is not easily soluble in water, and the harm will be greatly reduced. Since mercury can evaporate into a gaseous state at room temperature, it is easy to be sucked into the respiratory tract and cause poisoning, so it is best to wear a mask when handling mercury scattered on the ground. If the wound touches mercury, it should be examined at the poison prevention and control department of the hospital, and then treated if poisoning occurs.
