Mercury Abatement

Mercury is a neurotoxin with no beneficial role in the human body. The effects of mercury poisoning can range from no visible reaction to severe nervous system issues, including psychotic reactions, hallucinations, suicidal tendencies, and delirium. It poses a significant risk, particularly to unborn children and infants. Everyday household items such as fluorescent light bulbs, appliances, and button cell batteries found in watches and toys may contain mercury. Additionally, certain construction materials, including gymnasium floors, thermostats, and boiler heating systems, may also contain mercury. To prevent contamination of the air and water, mercury disposal should be handled by professionals who adhere to all safety regulations and guidelines. Proper mercury disposal is essential to protect both human health and the environment.
