THERMOMETER BROKEN - Need advice about Mercury please !!!

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody,

Its Goran from Macedonia writting.....

I need your advice ASAP....

This afternoon I broke the thermometer...

I use to read before that many mothers ask in panic for help-what to do, so the same thing happend to me....

It just slip out of my hands and bang on the floor - parquet...

Thermometer broke in many peaces, some on the parquet some on the carpet I believe...

The Mercury was all aroung the parquet, in very very small bolls...

I start my operation to collect all these balls in one or two biger and to trow out somehow...

It takes me all afternoon, I merge all these small peaces in to 1 biger, very slowly, but, I merge them all..

At the end of this the bigest bal of Mercury slip in to the empty place between the parquet peaces on the floor..

Can you immagine the situation....

I take a big hammer, some more remedies and broke the place where the Mercury slip and I found it again...

Mercury was in many peaces again, so I merge them again but in very bad conditions...

Anyhow I collect, I beleive all the Mercury and take out...

I make the damage on the floor but........

I clean all the place with vacuum cleaner too....

Is this enough???

Are there any other activities to be done to clean out the Mercury???

Any experience, advice, ASAP please???

Regards
