The Hidden Risks of Mercury Exposure

Why Mercury Cleanup Matters

Mercury spills, often found in cracks, flooring, and old equipment, can release toxic mercury vapors that pose severe health and environmental risks:

  • Neurological Damage: Chronic exposure can impair memory, coordination, and motor functions.
  • Respiratory Issues: Inhalation of mercury vapors may cause lung and systemic damage.
  • Environmental Contamination: Improper disposal of mercury-contaminated waste can pollute ecosystems and water supplies.

Facilities such as laboratories, hospitals, and industrial plants are especially vulnerable to mercury contamination. Proper mercury remediation is crucial to eliminate these risks and ensure ongoing safety.

Facilities at Risk

Who Needs Mercury Remediation?

3D Enviro specializes in mercury removal for a wide range of environments, including:

  • Laboratories and Research Facilities: Mercury used in testing and equipment is often embedded in flooring and walls.
  • Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities: Older systems and devices may leak elemental mercury, leading to contamination over time.
  • Industrial Plants and Hydroelectric Facilities: Mercury switches and valves pose significant risks during decommissioning or renovations.
  • Government Buildings: Agencies like NASA, NIH, and the Department of Energy need thorough mercury cleanup to maintain operations and protect staff.
  • Historic Buildings: These structures frequently contain elemental mercury spills, requiring careful handling to preserve both safety and architectural integrity.

Professional mercury assessment and remediation is essential to safeguard health and compliance if your facility falls into one of the above categories.
