manometers mercury vacuum pumps mercury seals or the handling of mercury in the immediate vicinity Mercury switches mercury in glass thermometers standard cells and other items containing mercury may be used if they are located so as not to constitute a contamination hazard If external contamination by metallic mercury occurs or is suspected the following test may be used to determine whether contamination by metallic mercury exists or whether corrective cleaning measures have been effective Enclose the equipment in a polyethylene bag or closefitting airtight container for eight hours at room temperature 70 degrees F minimumSample the trapped air and if mercury vapor concentration is 001 mgcu meter or more the material is mercury contaminated insofar as the requirements of this
