Is mercury being phased out of production?
Over the past few decades, the toxicity and severity of mercury exposure has been well-documented and used to help phase out mercury mining. Although mercury is a naturally occurring element that we cannot eradicate from our daily lives, we are making strides to reduce our usage. Mercury is still present in products such as:
- Skin-lightening cosmetics
- Thermometers
- Barometers
- Fluorescent lightbulbs
- Batteries
- Electric switches and relays
- Dental fillings
- Backlights
If you suspect any products in your home or workplace have traces of mercury, then you must dispose of them appropriately. Check your local council's guidelines on hazardous waste production.
What are the health risks of mercury exposure?
Humans will encounter low levels of mercury throughout their lifetime. But, if this is done over an extended period or in high levels of exposure, the consequences may be detrimental to your health.
Any long-term acute exposure to mercury could lead to you suffering from symptoms of:
- Skin and eye irritation
- Coughing
- Chest pain
- Shortness of breath
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Organ damage
- Nervous system damage
- Brain damage
We cover all areas in the Dover District in Kent, including:
- Barfrestone
- Barnsole
- Betteshanger
- Buckland
- Capel-le-Ferne
- Chillenden
- Deal
- Drellingore
- Farthingloe
- Hacklinge
- Kearsney
- Kingsdown
- Martin Mill
- Sandwich
- Waldershare
- Walmer
What types of mercury exposure are there?
There are two different types of mercury exposures that a human can encounter, and it depends on the setting that the individual often resides in.
General exposure
This is a type of exposure that the average human may experience. These are usually low levels of mercury that do not cause much harm, but long-term exposure could severely affect the human body.
- Consuming large predatory fish
- Consuming contaminated vegetables
- Using cosmetics with mercury
- Using or damaging products containing mercury
- Exposed to hazardous waste
Occupational exposure
Those that work in industrial settings such as a warehouse, factory, or facility are more likely to be exposed to certain toxic chemicals. These levels of exposure can be high if there is an incident, and therefore extra care much be taken to assure the safety of these workers.
- Actively manufacturing mercury products
- Mining ore minerals like cinnabar, corderoite, or livingstonite
- Industrial production of cement or metal
