I'm sorry I have to take issue with this, in what
way is banning the use
of a (resonably large amount) of hazadous material (Mercury) a bad thing ?
Especially when it can be replaced with a non/less hazadous replacement
that can do the job just as well.
What can I put into that glass thermometer to replace the mercury?
Won't I have to recalibrate it?
And yes there is Mercury in other household things CFL
bulbs for
example, but it is at a much lower concentration and cannot easily be
replaced by a less hazadous substance that can do the job as well.
What can I put into the vial to replace the mercury in my thermostat?
