“…When a bulb breaks, mercury vapor rapidly disperses into the air and is absorbed into the lungs, but liquid mercury can remain on the surfaces and vaporize gradually over time, for weeks and even months 25,26 . The simulation of several exposure settings shows that the crit-ical period after a bulb breaks is in the first four hours, worsening with increased ambient temperature 27 . While the adequate collection of broken lamp remains is essential, it has been found that immediate ventilation is the crucial step in the dispersal of mercury.…”
