Mercury, because of its extremely low vapour pressure and high toxicity, persistently presents a hazard years after a spill, until all mercury has been removed. In the past mercury was often handled improperly as compared with today's practices, creating areas where contamination can be widespread. Mercury droplets were often painted into the many layers of paint that now cover most surfaces in the upper portions of light towers. |
