Precious Metals Refining
This interactive DVD is a three video set addressing some some safety issues of precious metals refining. Mercury is in our ore. When we recover gold and silver, we also recover mercury. Mercury is toxic, and elevated levels of it are harmful to the body. We have to protect our personnel from the hazards associated with it, and we have to protect the environment as well.
This segment contains:
Health and Safety Procedures During Maintenance Operations in Precious Metal Refining 12 min

@ECTBWHO On that note, yes, most of what you said is pretty much on the money on the other side of the spectrum of those bulbs. I'm not aware of the China thing, but I suppose that could be also. The way I see it, we can never' rely on the Gov't. fully in regards to environmental safety. That is coming down to us as individuals, because we are the one's who consume every day. I think WE' the people have to create these things for the states. I say hook up with your local Gov. and find out. lol.

People in the construction areas will never have a glamorous life. This is about as good as it gets. Believe me, I know. I worked construction, engineer & maintenance for years. You have to really enjoy it to want to put up with the politics of it all and the few jerks you'll have to work under from time to time.

@ImOfNope But if they break. Or you drop one your suppose to call the Gov. and wait for them to show up. Thats crazy. and they when they go bad your suppose to turn them into the recycle place. Most states do not have glass recyclers. Most people will just throw them away naturally in the trash and all that Mercury will go to the land fills. Plus in 2012 they are going to ban the ones made in the states and we will have to use the Mercury ones from China.
