Ți s-a spart termometrul cu mercur în casă? Greșeala pe care nu trebuie să o faci sub nicio formă • Newsweek România

If a mercury thermometer breaks at home, immediate cleaning is a common instinct, but it can lead to greater exposure risks. First, remove children and pets from the area and ventilate the room. Avoid touching mercury directly or using a vacuum, as this can spread it further. Instead, use gloves and tools like cardboard to collect the droplets. If mercury contacts absorbent materials, seek local authority advice for safe disposal. After cleaning, wash hands thoroughly and avoid touching your face. For larger spills or health concerns, contact professionals for assistance.
