Mercury Poisoning Facts

What is mercury?

Mercury is a silver-colored liquid metal that:

  • is highly toxic
  • can be found in liquid and vapor
        forms; vapors cannot be seen or
        smelled
  • does not dissolve in water or alcohol
  • has a metallic taste

    Why is mercury dangerous?

    When spilled, mercury breaks into tiny beads that roll and can stick to surfaces.

    Spilled or improperly stored mercury may:

  • evaporate and contaminate the air
        you breathe
  • remain in the air and environment for
        a long time

    How can I be exposed to mercury?

    Mercury is used in some industrial and household items. It may be found in:

  • thermometers
  • thermostats
  • fluorescent lighting
  • batteries
  • clothes irons with automatic shut-off
        features
  • athletic shoes with flashing lights in
        the soles (made before 1997)
  • latex and oil-based paints
       (made before 1991)

    Mercury is also used in some spiritual and cultural practices. For example, mercury may be:

  • burned in oil lamps and candles
  • added to creams, perfumes, or
       bathwater
  • sprinkled on floors in homes or cars
  • stored in very small containers that
       are worn or carried by people
  • swallowed


    No metabolic functions are known for which mercury is required. At high concentrations, mercury causes liver and kidney damage and neurological symptoms. Interest has grown in the possible ill health effects of mercury liberated from dental amalgam fillings as well as the increased consumption of fish contaminated with mercury. Hair is used as an index of internal accumulation of mercury provided it was not externally contaminated by exposure to mercury vapor.
