With years of experience in the mercury spillage cleaning sector, we’re on hand to deal with all your cleaning needs in Sandwich
Mercury is a dangerous and naturally occurring element that continues to emerge throughout our lives. Organic mercury can appear in low levels in some food we eat, such as fish, shellfish, and some poultry. Elemental mercury continues to be present in electronic products, despite the strict regulations around its use in thermometers. However, we will mostly avoid an experience with a mercury spill.
Individuals that work in environments where mercury is at risk of being spilt may experience high levels of exposure. In the event of a spillage, you must contact our expert technicians at ICE Cleaning to attend to the scene and thoroughly eradicate the mercury.
Either call us at 0208 066 0360 or email us at enquiries@icecleaning.co.uk today to find out more about our cleaning solutions for customers in Sandwich.

What products contain mercury?
Ever since the discovery of mercury toxicity, strict regulations came into force during the mid-2000s to help phase out the use of mercury in our lives. However, mercury remains in various electrical products due to its conductive nature, but this puts many workers at risk.
As well as this, some antique products contain traces of mercury, such as old thermometers and barometers. These continue to sell in second-hand stores or vintage emporiums, which exposes the public to a potential spill.
If you discover mercury in your home, you must dispose of the products properly. You can do this by checking your local council's guidelines on hazardous waste disposal. The following items may contain traces of mercury:
- Backlights
- Fluorescent light bulbs
- Electrical switches
- Dental amalgams
- Relay switches
- Circuit boards
What are the dangers of mercury exposure?
There are three forms of mercury, each with varying effects on the human body when inhaled, ingested, or touched. If you encounter a small mercury exposure, you should consult a professional by calling 111 for your safety. Any amount of mercury can make the body react differently, and you might begin experiencing symptoms such as:
- Headaches
- Coughing
- Shortness of breath
- Vomiting
- Nausea
- Chest pain
If you begin to show any of these symptoms, your body may be in the early stages of mercury poisoning. You must call 999 or attend A&E. Some individuals are more vulnerable to mercury poisoning if they are:
- Pregnant
- An unborn child
- An infant
- Immunocompromised
- Elderly

How to avoid a potential mercury spill
Those that live on domestic properties are at far less risk of mercury exposure, but there is still a possibility that they could experience a minor spill. Individuals that work in settings where mercury spills are a possibility are more vulnerable, and must take more precautions than the average person. Here are some tips on how to avoid a spill on a domestic or working property.
Domestic properties
- Check the labels of new products for mercury warnings
- Ensure these products are out of reach of children or pets
- Dispose of any products you do not need per the council's guidelines on hazardous waste disposal
Working properties
- Confirm a chemical spill risk assessment has been completed, or will be conducted annually
- Identify any hazards on-site and report them to your manager or employer
- Ensure all mercury storage containers are labelled appropriately
- Verify that there are spill kits on-site along with appropriate PPE
- Decide on a plan of action in the event of a spill
