	Mercury-Atlas 6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NASA had wanted to launch Mercury 6 in 1961 (hoping to orbit an astronaut in the same calendar year as the Soviets did), but by early December it was apparent that the mission hardware would not be ready for launch until early 1962.
		Mercury spacecraft # 13 and Atlas # 109-D were stacked on the pad at Launch Complex 14 on January 2, 1962.
		Fuel consumption was 6 pounds (2.7 kg) from the automatic tank and 11.8 pounds (5.4 kg) from the manual tank, during the second orbit.

	Project Mercury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mercury is also the name of the innermost planet of the solar system, which revolves around the sun faster than any other, hence the image of speed, although Project Mercury had no other connection to that planet.
		It was said that the Mercury spacecraft were not ridden, they were worn, because of their extremely small size - at 1.7 cubic metres in volume, the capsule was just large enough for the single crew member.
		The Mercury spacecraft were designed to be totally controllable from the ground in the event that the space environment impaired the pilot's ability to function.

	Mercury Facts
		Mercury is a heavily cratered planet, composed of rock with a central iron core that is three-quarters of the diameter of the planet (3,600 km).
		Mercury has few non-cratered areas on the surface, with the exception of the large flat area known as the Caloris Basin, and a few other small areas.
		Mercury, often identified with the Greek god, Hermes, is the messenger of the gods in Roman mythology.

	Mercury : 6. What can be done to reduce mercury releases?
		Mercury waste management has become more complex as more mercury is collected from a greater variety of sources, including gas filtering products, sludges from the chlor-alkali industry, ashes, slags, and inert mineral residues, as well as used fluorescent tubes, batteries and other products that are often not recycled.
		Mercury releases and occupational exposures during chlor-alkali production may be substantially reduced through strict mercury accounting procedures, "good housekeeping" measures to keep mercury from being dispersed, properly filtering exhaust air from the facility and careful handling and proper disposal of mercury wastes.
		Mercury emissions from dental amalgams during cremation may only be reduced by removing the amalgams before cremation, which is not a common practice, or by filtering the gaseous emissions when the practice takes place in a crematorium.

	Mercury (EHC 1, 1976)
		Presumably a considerable amount of mercury observed in river water is retained in sediments in the rivers and estuaries and does not reach the ocean by normal flow of the river.
		Mercury is present naturally in the environment and released from manmade sources in a variety of chemical and physical states.
		Mercury vapour is oxidized to ionic divalent mercury (Hg) in water in the presence of oxygen.

	Mercury, elemental (CASRN 7439-97-6), IRIS, Environmental Protection Agency
		Worker exposure to mercury levels (TWA) varied, with 10.2% of the workers being exposed to <0.01 mg/cu.m, 48.7% exposed to 0.01 to 0.05 mg/cu.m, 25.6% exposed to 0.06 to 0.10 mg/cu.m and 4.8% exposed to 0.24 to 0.27 mg/cu.m (approximately 85% were exposed to Hg levels less than or equal to 0.1 mg/cu.m).
		Mercury accumulated in the brain following inhalation exposure to metallic mercury vapor at levels that were 10 times higher than those observed following intravenous injection of the same dose of mercury as mercuric salts.

	Mercury : Level 1 - Summary on Mercury
		The pure form, elemental mercury, is liquid at room temperature and slowly forms a vapour in the air.
		However, mercury mining is decreasing and therefore releases from mining and mercury use may be in decline.
		Some lack basic information about their own uses and releases of mercury, as well as levels in their local environment, while others want more advanced data in order to assess and manage the risks better.

	SPACE MEDICINE IN PROJECT MERCURY - Chapter 6
		The Mercury program—which was an experiment to test the ability of a man and machine to perform in a controlled but not completely known environment—was to start with a series of design experiments for which there were few criteria.
		Mercury objectives were to be in two areas: (1) scientific, and (2) engineering and technological.
		Throughout the Mercury project a continuing developmental program was conducted to utilize the latest technological advances compatible with the constraints imposed by the spacecraft configuration and mission.

	Mercury MA-6
		In the Mercury Control Center procedures log, the flight control team noted at 3:40 that they were "up and at it." The team immediately conducted a radar check, and although ionospheric conditions made the results poor the controllers believed the situation would improve soon.
		In the Mercury Control Center, at the tracking stations, and on the recovery ships ringing the globe, engineers, technicians, physicians, recovery personnel, and fellow astronauts stood nervously, stared at their consoles, and listened to the communications circuits.
		Mercury Control then gave him the.05-g mark, and the pilot punched the override button, saying later that he seemed to be in the fringes of the g field before he pushed.

		6 NYCRR Part 364 was amended to clarify that elemental mercury and dental amalgam wastes from dental facilities are exempt from waste transporter permitting requirements if sent for mercury recovery.
		6 NYCRR Part 371 was amended to renumber Part references to reflect the addition of the new Subpart 374-4.

		The Mercury flight plan during the first orbit was to maintain optimum spacecraft attitude for radar tracking and communication checks.

		During reentry, however, the retropack was not jettisoned but retained as a safety measure to hold the heat shield in place in the event it had loosened.

	Mercury in Fish (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		When mercury is deposited in lakes and waterways, bacteria convert it to methylmercury, which then contaminates the food chain and builds up in the tissue of fish and of wildlife (or humans) who eat the fish.
		The Michigan Department of Public Health, for example, has issued a fish consumption advisory for all of Michigan's 11,000 inland lakes after mercury contaminated fish were found in many of the lakes sampled.
