If you accidentally break the mercury thermometer when measuring the temperature, don’t be nervous. Let the child wear gloves after leaving, pick up the glass fragments and put them into a bag to collect the scattered mercury. Do not use a broom or a broom. Cleaning with a mop may turn the mercury into smaller mercury. You can use tape to remove it. If the mercury in the gaps between the floors is difficult to deal with, you can sprinkle sulfur powder.
After collecting the mercury, put it into a plastic bottle and label it, and throw it away in a medical waste garbage bag. Mercury is a liquid metal and is easily volatile at room temperature, so be careful when handling a broken thermometer.
Notes on thermometers
Things to note when using a thermometer are: wait 30 minutes before measuring after eating, drinking hot drinks, smoking, chewing gum, strenuous exercise, emotional excitement and bathing; If you are holding a body temperature tablet, hold the end of the body and do not touch the temperature sensing point of the body temperature tablet.
Before measuring the temperature, you should estimate the temperature to be measured to avoid the temperature being measured being too high and the liquid in the thermometer bursting the thermometer. When measuring the temperature, the glass bulb of the thermometer should be in full contact with the object being measured. .
