    If the mercury flows down the drain, there is no need to remedy, the mercury in the thermometer is not much, the pollution will not be very serious, if the mercury is spilled in the laboratory, it should be covered with sulfur powder immediately, sulfur can react with mercury to produce mercury sulfide, in order to prevent mercury volatilization from being inhaled by people and causing heavy metal poisoning, of course, if the mercury is still in the toilet, you can also use a larger amount of sulfur powder to try to react it.

    It must be wrong, and it will cause heavy metal pollution in the water. Remedy? It's already gone....

    No way. React with silver nitrate solution. Silver is generated, which removes mercury.

    Of course, if you've already done that, there's really no way around it.

    Yes...

    Remedy? You just don't admit that you did it.

    Well, this is a bit lacking in morality. . .

    Then you just need to pay attention to it later.

There won't be any danger, even if you drink it! Because it can't be absorbed at all. Ancient alchemists drank that for immortality, and the emperor also drank it. Mercury vapor is indeed highly toxic, but it can only be formed when heated at high temperatures.

If the mercury content in the mercury thermometer is very small, you can do a good job of ventilating the room, and if you are afraid that there is a residue on the floor, you can sprinkle sulfur powder, which can be bought on the market.

The mercury content of the mercury thermometer is not much, and the evaporated mercury vapor is not very dangerous. However, it is best to sweep the remaining mercury into the drain and rinse it with water to minimize the danger.

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. >>>More
