Mercury abatement and removal

Mercury (Hg) is a naturally occurring element in the Earth’s crust, present in the air, water, and soil. It is one of the two metals that remain liquid at standard temperatures.

 

Mercury has been used in applications such as thermometers, barometers, float valves, fluorescent lighting, and even sports flooring.

 

Mercury is a neurotoxin and can cause serious health harm, as it has no role in the human body. Mercury poisoning leads to numerous neurological issues such as anxiety, memory impairment, hallucinations, delirium, and even suicidal thoughts.

 

As mercury levels in the body rise, complications increase. You may suffer from muscle weakness, loss of motor skills, difficulty breathing, and much more.

 

Exposure to mercury occurs through inhaling vapors, drinking contaminated water, and direct skin contact.

 

Due to mercury’s hazardous nature, only certified professionals should handle it. Husar Abatement, LTD has a team of experienced, state-certified staff who will remove mercury from your environment in the safest and most effective manner.

 

We follow all OSHA, EPA, and state regulations regarding mercury abatement. All materials and debris will be disposed of in accordance with state and local regulations at an EPA-approved landfill.
