Non-Mercury Alternatives

  • Use only non-mercury thermometers. EHS will replace most mercury thermometers with compatible digital or alcohol/glycol thermometers upon request FREE OF CHARGE.
  • For differential manometers, use water or calibrated oils instead of mercury, or switch to pressure transducers or electronic pressure gauges.
  • Notify EHS as soon as mercury-filled equipments are taken out of service to ensure timely removal from the laboratory to facilitate disposal.
