Why is Mercury Dangerous?
The misuse and malpractice of mercury in dental surgeries can be potentially harmful to both surgeons and patients, including direct contact or the handling of any contaminated equipment.
Mercury vapour is colourless, odourless and tasteless. As a result, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) implemented a strict occupational exposure limit of 25 nanograms per meters cubed (µg/m3), spread over an eight-hour working period to reduce the risk of potential health hazards. Initial Medical provide an industry-leading mercury spillage kit to ensure the safe management and disposal of mercury-based items, mitigating the level of occupational exposure to staff and patients.
