Mercury Elemental Storage Tank Design

Reaktor, 2020
Mercury is a liquid metal that has properties such as toxic, persistent, bioaccumulating, and its vapor can spread around sources so that it is harmful to humans.

A Challenging Case of Acute Mercury Toxicity

Case Reports in Medicine, 2018
Background. Mercury exists in multiple forms: elemental, organic, and inorganic. Its toxic manifestations depend on the type and magnitude of exposure. The role of colonoscopic decompression in acute mercury toxicity is still unclear.

Underestimation of atmospheric oxidized mercury at a mountaintop site by the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
An improved mechanistic model of mercury redox chemistry has recently been implemented in the GEOS-Chem model. In this study, GEOS-Chem simulations were compared to ambient measurements made during a high-oxidized mercury episode that originated in the ...

Hazards of Mercury – Safety Perspectives and Measures

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2015
Mercury is one of the most hazardous contaminants emitted to the atmosphere due to its toxic effects on the environment and human health. Anthropogenic and geological sources account for 30 % and 10 % respectively, whereas the rest is from re-emissions ...

Development, characterization, and testing of a personal passive sampler for measuring inhalation exposure to gaseous elemental mercury

Environment International, 2021
Inhalation of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) is an occupational exposure concern for workers handling elemental mercury or mercury-containing waste. GEM is also often present near historically mercury-contaminated sites, potentially resulting in low ...

Elemental mercury in the atmospheric boundary layer of the Atlantic Ocean during Polarstern cruise ANT-XXV/1

, 2023
During Polarstern cruise ANT-XXV/1 in November 2008 , the marine atmosphere was sampled via PTFE (Polytetrafluorethylen) tubing extending from the front of the upper deck to labs on the main deck of r/v Polarstern and then analyzed for elemental mercury ...

An overview of atmospheric mercury monitoring at Auchencorth Moss, the UK EMEP Supersite in southern Scotland: trends, patterns and a source analysis

E3S Web of Conferences, 2013
Speciated atmospheric mercury has been measures semi-continuously at the Auchencorth Moss field site in southern Scotland since 2004. Here we present an analysis of the data from 2009 to 2011 for the three species: elemental, gaseous oxidized (GOM) and ...

Elemental Mercury Spills

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2006
Sources of elemental mercury (Hg0) include old natural gas regulators, manometers, sphygmomanometers, thermometers, and thermostats. Causes of Hg0 spills include improper storage, container breakage, children playing with Hg0, the breakage of devices containing Hg0, and ritualistic use of Hg0. Inhalation is the primary exposure route for Hg0.

Chlor-alkali industrial contamination and riverine transport of mercury: Distribution and partitioning of mercury between water, suspended matter, and bottom sediment of the Thur River, France [PDF]

, 2006
Total dissolved and total particulate Hg mass balances were estimated during one hydrological period (July 2001–June 2002) in the Thur River basin, which is heavily polluted by chlor-alkali industrial activity.
