Professional Mercury Spillage Cleaning
If you require a reliable cleaning company in Maidstone, give us a call today
We can be on-site in just a few hours to provide a fast, reliable cleaning service.
Mercury is an element we encounter daily, and we usually do not experience the symptoms of mercury poisoning. However, most mercury releases are the result of human actions. Even though the use of mercury is less so now than it was twenty years ago, it remains in some electrical items, industrial settings, and residences.
If you work or live in an area where mercury has spilt, you must call specialist cleaning services immediately. We can arrive on-site within a few hours in an emergency and be able to contain, clean, and decontaminate the affected area.
To find out more about our full range of cleaning services, give us a call at 0208 066 0360 or email us at enquiries@icecleaning.co.uk and a member of our friendly support team will get back to you as soon as possible.

Who is most vulnerable to mercury exposure?
Mercury effects could vary depending on the rate of exposure as well as the type of mercury. It can also affect people differently depending on their age and health. Those at high risk from the symptoms of mercury exposure include:
- Workers in industrial, factory, and recycling workplaces
- Children and infants under 6
- Unborn babies
- Elderly people
- Immunocompromised individuals
- Pregnant individuals
Infants and young children are most at risk because mercury attacks the nervous system and can cause lifelong harm to their developing bodies. Pregnant individuals can also pass on mercury poisoning to their unborn children via the placenta which could harm the baby.
How does mercury affect people?
Mercury can cause various symptoms and even inflict severe illness onto an individual. If left untreated, mercury poisoning could lead to a coma and eventually death. The effects of mercury often depend on the type exposed to an individual.
Elemental mercury
At room temperature, elemental mercury evaporates quickly and becomes an invisible, odourless vapour. When inhaled, it can cause severe lung damage and affect the respiratory system. If the levels of mercury are low, they could still cause damage to the nervous system, brain, and kidneys.
Inorganic mercury
These mercury compounds are found in industrial environments where coal burns, and more recently it was discovered in cosmetics. When applied to the skin over a long period, it can cause similar damage to elemental mercury — damaging the brain and organs.
Organic mercury
Methylmercury occurs naturally in the environment, in soils and water, where fish capture the bacteria and pass it on through the food chain. Inevitably this leads to human consumption, where large amounts of methylmercury can result in a damaged nervous system. Unborn babies who absorb methylmercury are often born with neurological disabilities and cerebral palsy.

How to dispose of mercury objects
If you discover mercury objects in your home, you should dispose of them properly to prevent spills or breakages. You must not dispose of these through general waste or put them into a recycling bin. These objects require careful handling to prevent workers from experiencing mercury exposure.
You should follow your local council's hazard waste disposal procedures. You can review these by checking your local council website or getting in touch with them:
