Mercury cleaning: Frequently asked questions
What should I do if I spill mercury at home or in the workplace?
If you spill mercury, immediately isolate the area to prevent contamination and exposure. Avoid touching or vacuuming it, as this can break it into smaller droplets and increase airborne exposure. Instead, ventilate the space, wear protective gloves and contact a professional mercury cleaning services provider.
Why is mercury dangerous, and what are the health risks of exposure?
Mercury is highly toxic, and exposure can cause serious health issues, including neurological damage, respiratory problems and kidney damage. Prolonged exposure may lead to tremors, memory loss and cognitive impairment. Professional mercury cleaning and ventilation are crucial to reducing these risks and ensuring a safe environment.
Can I clean up a mercury spill myself, or do I need professional help?
For small spills, like those from a broken thermometer, you may be able to clean up using a mercury spill cleanup kit while following strict safety guidelines. However, larger spills or contamination on porous surfaces require professional mercury cleaning services. Experts use specialised equipment, such as mercury vacuums and vapor suppression techniques, to remove hazardous contamination effectively.
How quickly can you respond to an enquiry?
We aim to be on site within hours of your call, ensuring the spill is managed swiftly to prevent further damage. We have a 24/7 emergency team for your peace of mind.
How long does mercury remain hazardous after a spill?
Mercury can remain hazardous for weeks, months or even years if not properly cleaned up. Liquid mercury evaporates at room temperature, releasing toxic vapours that can linger in the air and settle into porous materials like carpets, wood and fabrics. Without professional mercury spill cleanup, the contamination can spread, increasing exposure risks over time.
