MERCURY Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Mercury is a heavy, silvery-white liquid metal with the chemical symbol Hg, used in various industrial and medical applications. It is primarily employed in the production of thermometers, barometers, and other scientific instruments, as well as in the manufacture of fluorescent lamps and dental amalgams. Mercury is also used in the extraction of gold and silver from ores. Despite its utility, mercury is highly toxic and poses significant health risks, including neurological damage and potential carcinogenic effects. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures are essential to minimize exposure. Personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation are crucial when working with mercury.
