Mercury is a naturally occurring element that is found in air, water and soil. Exposure to mercury â even small amounts â may cause serious health problems, and is a threat to the development of the child in utero and early in life. Mercury may have toxic effects on the nervous, digestive and immune systems, and on lungs, kidneys, skin and eyes.
What to do if you break an item that contains mercury: 1  Evacuate the room, turn off the air conditioning/heating system and ventilate the area with fans and windows for at least 12 hours. 2  Use gloves. 3  Remove jewelry â mercury may attach to gold or silver.  Avoid vacuuming or sweeping as this will spread the mercury around.
