Recent reports have shown mercury in lightbulbs has a potiental to be a health risk. Mercury has been shown in a number of publications to have long lasting effects. There is a potiental for this to be a workplace hazard. K2 Environemtnal has the skills and methods to perform air sampling in the workplace or home for mercury.

Mercury and mercury-containing compounds are widely used in diverse applications.

Mercury is found in thermometers, barometers and thermostats. These instruments take advantage of mercury’s uniform temperature-dependent volume expansion over a broad temperature range. Inhalation exposure to mercury is usually to vapors of the elemental form. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature and gives rise to a mercury vapor readily.
