Patient's question:
Hello doctor, could you please tell me how long it will take before it's safe to reoccupy the room after 50 grams of mercury has spilled in it? Is there any good solution?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, mercury accidentally spilled in the room. Mercury is a silver-white liquid metal that can evaporate at room temperature. As long as it does not come into contact with the skin or be ingested accidentally, mercury is not harmful. Even if mercury completely evaporates and produces mercury vapor, in an environment with good ventilation, it may take 48-72 hours. It is recommended that you maintain a balanced diet, eat more buckwheat, fresh vegetables and fruits, exercise moderately, do not stay up late, and go to bed early. Wishing you good health.
