MERCURY VAPORS Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Mercury vapors are the gaseous form of mercury, used in various industrial and scientific applications. They are primarily employed in mercury-vapor lamps, fluorescent lamps, and in laboratory research. Mercury vapors are also used in the extraction of gold and silver from ores. Despite their utility, mercury vapors are highly toxic and pose significant health risks, including neurological damage and potential carcinogenic effects. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures are essential to minimize exposure. Personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation are crucial when working with mercury vapors to prevent inhalation and ensure safe usage.
