Mercury Pollution A Transdisciplinary Treatment

Mercury Pollution A Transdisciplinary Treatment

How does mercury get out of the ground and into our food? Is tuna safe to eat? What was the Minamata Disaster? Mercury Pollution: A Transdisciplinary Treatment addresses these questions and more. The editors weave interdisciplinary threads into a tapestry that presents a more complete picture of the effects of mercury pollution and provides new ways to think about the environment. The remarkable features that make mercury so useful—and poisonous—have given rise to many stories laid out in rich objective detail carefully detailing medical epidemiological or historical insight but sidestepping the human experience. A technically rich book that only touches on the human consequences of mercury poisoning cannot fully portray the anguish confusion and painful deaths that are the consequence of mercury pollution. Therefore the editors purposely step out of the conventional scientific framework for discussing mercury pollution to explore the wider human experience. This book clarifies how we are all connected to mercury how we absorb it through the food we eat and the air we breathe and how we release it as a consequence of our new technologies. It tackles interesting environmental issues without being overly technical and uses mercury as a case study and model for studying environmental problems. The book uses discussions of the issues surrounding mercury pollution to illustrate how an interdisciplinary vantage is necessary to solve environmental problems.

Vytac MIS Mercury Neutraliser 14kgS

Vytac MIS Mercury Neutraliser 14kgS

MIS is a unique formulation that transforms liquid mercury into an immobile solid amalgam, which almost completely suppresses the emission of mercury vapours. Mercury is a highly toxic material and its release into the atmosphere and the water system can have a serious impact. When mercury is spilled, hazardous vapour levels can quickly develop, thus it is important to treat these spills promptly and effectively. Once activated, works on contact, the solid granules can be easily and safely removed with pick up tools or vacuum devices. Effective on spills in drains and to make mercury waste safer for transport. Weight 14kgs.
