Flushing 240lbs of Mercury

I see if a little mercury can be flushed down a toilet and then I take the experiment a little farther and flush a toilet with 240 lbs of mercury. Test results here: • Mercury Test Results

This idiot (Matt G) didn't seem to notice that not all of the material was recovered, nor did this idiot (Matt G, still) consider that the lack of warnings about the substance, proper demonstration of safety equipment (e.g. gloves, or a contained lab), the lack of proper explanations (like why the EPA would be 'on his ass' for contamination), and the lack of discouragement from repeating this in a real toilet is reckless and irresponsible. Personally, I don't understand how this is allowed on KZbin being that it is essentially a simulation of an act of terrorism being that in a 'real setup' that innocent lives would be at stake due to how sewers function and what happens to waste in the process. This person has demonstrated that he clearly does not deserve the right to possess mercury and I hope this video leads to a restriction of his access to it and chemicals like it.

He likely bought before the price increase. Also, the $4000 price tag is per flask (76 pounds), not $4000 each pound. But, if purchased in 2016, he likely paid (4000/76) * 240 = ~$12,600

[@GeneralFork1Over]

www.cdc.gov/niosh/ershdb/emergencyresponsecard_29750021.html According to the CDC, "Elemental mercury is toxic primarily through inhalation of mercury vapors. It is only slowly absorbed through the skin, although it may cause skin and eye irritation. Elemental mercury droplets may be absorbed through eye contact. Ingestion is not an important route of acute exposure as almost no elemental mercury is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract." So yeah, any kind of mercury, elemental or otherwise, is still absolutely dangerous.

[@murderofcrows6362]

I had not actually thought about it until I saw this comment, I feel disappointed in myself. Regardless, I would imagine it would probably float ontop of it. Turds don't always float in water, but if they can it means they're (sometimes) lighter than water, which means that under normal circumstances definitely lighter than mercury. Of course that's assuming no chemical interaction. However, I want to imagine the mercury might actually manage to surprise me and pulverize it under its weight somehow.

Natural and depleted uranium have the identical chemical effect on your body. The health effects of natural and depleted uranium are due to chemical effects and not to radiation. Uranium's main target is the kidneys. Kidney damage has been seen in humans and animals after inhaling or ingesting uranium compounds.

Definitely a good demonstration of the relationship between surface tension versus capillary action.

the most underrated comment on youtube. I haven't laughed this hard in *years*

[@aadenluk4931]

The way Cody is handling the mercury is safe, as metallic mercury is not remarkably toxic. Organomercury compounds and mercury vapour is toxic though, and this is how most people get poisoned by it.

[@spacechemsol4288]

Mercury will start evaporating at room temperature and especially with the amounts hes handling and the constant movement there will be mercury in the air, its outside which helps but safe is still a word i wouldnt use.

[@sideways5153]

“Safe” is definitely an oversimplification, but that is the gist. Cody knows chemistry, knows the risks, and takes precautions to help protect himself. Like he alluded to when flushing the full tank of mercury, elemental mercury is still really dangerous if it comes into contact with an open wound, a sore, or a mucous membrane like the mouth or nose. Like another commenter pointed out, mercury will evaporate at room temperature, and *breathing* mercury is definitely way worse than just touching it. There’s also the possibility of the mercury reacting with something unexpectedly to produce a much more dangerous material - you don’t know all the chemical properties of the toilet bowl material or the plungers, for example. Different compounds could be far more dangerous, and in a setting like this there’s not much control you can implement to monitor or prevent unintended reactions. Basically, don’t do chemistry at home, don’t do chemistry without a lab partner, don’t do chemistry without a chemistry education. Stay safe, folks.

Ignignokt Err Mercury won't absorb through skin. It will only go through a wound

[@brk932]

I had the pathological shyness and tremor even before. Mercury is very safe UNLESS YOU HEAT IT AND BREATHE THE VAPORS FOR A FEW MONTHS DAILY. That is essentialy what hatters did during the manufacture of felt.. Mercuric nitrate was commonly used in the production of felt for hats. During a process called carroting, in which furs from small animals such as rabbits, hares or beavers were separated from their skins and matted together, an orange-colored solution containing mercuric nitrate was used as a smoothing agent. The resulting felt was then repeatedly shaped into large cones, shrunk in boiling water and dried. In treated felts, a slow reaction released volatile free mercury
