Insights by Echo AI

If a mercury thermometer breaks at home, avoid these common mistakes to prevent risks: don't use a vacuum cleaner, don't use a broom, and don't use a regular dustpan. Instead, follow MINSA's recommendations: open windows for ventilation, wear gloves, and use a damp paper towel to collect mercury beads. Then, place the collected mercury and materials in a sealed plastic bag for safe disposal.
