Elemental Mercury Vapor Visualization

An excellent short subject video demonstrating the evolution of Hg vapor & the potential hazards of mishandling a spill. Note: the method used to visualize the Hg is very sensitive & exactly how much Hg is vaporized in the demonstration is not stated. (The visualization method is similar to that used in an atomic absorption spectrometer) A sincere thanks to Dave Heinlen Safety and Health Coordinator Bowling Green State University 102 College Park Office Building Bowling Green, Ohio 43403 for this video
