Mercury vapor as a contaminant of hospital environment.

A T Choi-Lao, G Corte, G Dowd, R C Lao.   

Abstract

Surveys for airborne mercury in two Ottawa hospitals have been conducted. Two different analytical methods were used. Although the concentrations of mercury vapor were below the TLV, all samples analyzed showed measureable amounts of mercury to be present. Predominant sources of mercury contamination are broken thermometers and sphygmomanometers.
