sniffing Hg! :)

Looks like I'll have to sell my flask stash. :D

FTR I really don't have a problem with curtailing Hg emissions and releases. Cinnabar is as nasty as anything I've ever dealt with.

The tanning industry dropped Hg in the late 70's and early 80's...Cr (III) compounds have done quite well as the replacement.

Hg still has uses though.

Does that mean I can't crack the old thermometer on the back porch and play with the fun silver oozy stuff anymore?
