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 ...

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.

Binding-Time Analysis for Mercury [PDF]
, 2004 In this work, we develop a binding-time analysis for the logic programming language Mercury. We introduce a precise domain of binding-times, based on the type information available in Mercury programs, that allows the analyser to reason with partially ...

Reduction of Mercury to the Elemental State by a Yeast [PDF]
Applied Microbiology, 1974 A yeast of the genus Cryptococcus has been isolated from a stream and was shown to be capable of reducing mercury to the elemental state. The organism grows in Wickerham broth supplemented with high concentrations of mercury (II) chloride (180 mg of mercury per liter) and will metabolize [
