- W2024307592 abstract "In its elemental form, mercury is the only metal that is in a liquid state at room temperature. It readily volatilizes at standard temperature and pressure, and its presence in open containers can result in biologically significant air concentrations in unventilated or poorly ventilated spaces. In recent years, elemental mercury has proven to be a potential source of toxicosis through either unintentional exposure or exposure resulting from inappropriate handling of liquid mercury acquired from school science laboratories or abandoned industrial facilities or warehouses. The shiny, silvery appearance of mercury in its liquid form makes it particularly enticing to children, and its insolubility in water and tendency to form beads when disturbed add to its mystique. This paper presents two case studies in which excessive exposure to elemental mercury vapor has resulted in adverse health effects in the exposed individuals: one in the workplace and one in a residential setting. These case studies serve to emphasize that primary care physicians, public health officials, and science educators need to recognize the potential risk posed by inhalation exposure to mercury vapors, and health practitioners need to be able to recognize the health signs and symptoms of such exposure. Public health professionals and those in charge of public and private education facilities should also be keenly aware of the necessity of prompt mitigation of human exposure should a spill or other mercury exposure scenario occur." @default.
