Mercury- British Encyclopedia Online Although Mercury is not tidally locked to the Sun, its rotational period is tidally coupled to its orbital period. Mercury was named by the Romans after the fleet-footed messenger of the gods because it seemed to move more quickly than any other planet. Mercury's rolling, dust-covered hills have been eroded from the constant bombardment of meteorites. www.british-encyclopedia.com /astronomy-mercury.html   (822 words)

PSR Discoveries: Hot Idea: Mercury Unveiled Mercury is the smallest of the inner, rocky planets (Mars, Earth, and Venus) and the closest to the Sun. This hypothesis also predicts that Mercury should have higher concentrations of elements that have very high boiling points (called refractory elements), such as calcium and aluminum, and not much of the elements that boil at low temperatures (called volatile elements), such as sodium and potassium. This indicates that the surface in this region of Mercury is underlain by a chemically distinctive layer at depth. www.psrd.hawaii.edu /Jan97/MercuryUnveiled.html   (2149 words)

Mercury Mercury is the only body in the solar system known to have an orbital/rotational resonance with a ratio other than 1:1 (though many have no resonances at all). Mercury is often visible with binoculars or even the unaided eye, but it is always very near the Sun and difficult to see in the twilight sky. Mercury's interior is dominated by a large iron core whose radius is 1800 to 1900 km. www.seds.org /nineplanets/nineplanets/mercury.html   (1269 words)

CPCS: Mercury and its Many Forms Inorganic mercury compounds are known as "mercuric salts." Some of the mercuric salts include: mercuric chloride, mercuric iodide, mercuric nitrate, mercuric sulfide, yellow mercuric oxide, red mercuric oxide, ammoniated mercury, mercurous chloride and mercurous acetate. A spill of a large amount of mercury (more than the amount of mercury in a household fever thermometer) can be dangerous to all members of the household including pets because of the mercury vapors in the air of the house. Mercury is not well absorbed across the skin so skin contact is not likely to cause mercury poisoning, especially with a brief one-time exposure. www.calpoison.org /public/mercury.html   (2187 words)

FDA / EPA What You Need to Know About Mercury in Fish and Shellfish - March 2004 The risks from mercury in fish and shellfish depend on the amount of fish and shellfish eaten and the levels of mercury in the fish and shellfish. Mercury falls from the air and can accumulate in streams and oceans and is turned into methylmercury in the water. Mercury occurs naturally in the environment and can also be released into the air through industrial pollution. www.cfsan.fda.gov /~dms/admehg3.html   (1086 words)

StarChild: The planet Mercury The surface of Mercury has been shaped by three processes: impact cratering where large objects struck the surface resulting in crater formation, volcanism where lava flooded the surface, and tectonic activity where the planet's crust moved in order to adjust to the planetary cooling and contracting. Scientists theorize that Mercury's field is due to an iron-bearing core or possibly to the solar winds. Mercury is very close to the Sun and has no substantial atmosphere. starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov /docs/StarChild/solar_system_level2/mercury.html   (325 words)

ATSDR - ALERT! Patterns of Metallic Mercury Exposure, 06/26/97 Mercury vapors are readily absorbed into the bloodstream from the lungs, and the human central nervous system, which is still developing during the first few years of life, may become damaged. Because metallic mercury vaporizes into the air at room temperatures, it presents an immediate health risk to anyone spending a significant amount of time in a room where metallic mercury is sprinkled or spilled onto the floor, or where opened containers of metallic mercury are present. Mercury is also used in other common consumer products such as fluorescent light bulbs, barometers, medical equipment such as blood pressure measurement instruments, and mercury switches in children's sneakers that light up. www.atsdr.cdc.gov /alerts/970626.html   (1967 words)

Mercury - Minnesota Pollution Control Agency On the other hand, the mercury in the emissions from burning coal or heating taconite pellets is difficult to capture and, even when captured, over time some of the captured mercury could escape to the environment. Some mercury is natural in the environment.Some comes from our intentional uses of mercury, and some is a polluting byproduct of burning coal and certain mining and manufacturing processes. It is relatively easy to prevent mercury from some sources from entering the environment, but it may be very difficult to control mercury from other sources. www.pca.state.mn.us /air/mercury.html   (451 words)

Mercury Free and Healthy, The Dental Amalgam Issue Resistances to mercury and the several antibiotics were examined in the oral and intestinal floras of six adult monkeys prior the the installation of amalgam fillings, during the time they were in place, and after replacement of the amalgam fillings with glass ionomer fillings (in four of the monkeys). The aim of the present investigation was to study the elimination half-time of mercury in plasma, erythrocytes and urine over an extended period of time after amalgam removal in a group of 10 patients with subjective symptoms by the patients themselves referred to their amalgam fillings and a group of 8 healthy subjects. Two-thirds of the mercury excreted in the urine of those with dental amalgams appears to be derived originally from the mercury vapor released from their amalgams. www.amalgam.org   (13311 words)

Mercury Policy Project A coalition led by Oceana and the MPP released the results of a major, 22-state mercury testing project, confirming that store-bought swordfish and tuna contain levels of mercury that the federal government has determined may be hazardous to human health, particularly children. The groups also reported that mercury concentrations in samples of fresh or frozen tuna steaks averaged 0.33 ppm, a level comparable to that of canned albacore tuna, a fish specifically targeted for limited consumption by women of childbearing age and children in the 2004 joint advisory from the FDA and EPA.

Mercury (element) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mercury is used in dental amalgam as well as thermometers, barometers and other scientific apparatus, although the use of mercury in thermometers has been largely phased out in clinical and scientific environments (in favor of alcohol-filled, digital or thermistor-based replacements) in the interests of health and safety due to the toxicity of the element. Mercury was included in the treatment of syphilis as early as the 16th century, before the advent of antibiotics. Mercury was known to the ancient Chinese and Hindus and was found in Egyptian tombs that date from 1500 BC. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mercury_(element)   (3056 words)
