Mercury Spill Residue Contamination

Mercury contamination forms from elemental spills or amalgam residues in industrial settings. Before cleaning, liquid films spread quickly on concrete and tile, so vapors release easily during handling and this volatility distinguishes it from solid pollutants. On metals such as copper, steel, and aluminum, mercury alloys and penetrates deeply, so adhesion strengthens and removal challenges include toxicity and residue scattering; laser cleaning vaporizes contamination precisely without substrate harm, so after treatment surfaces exhibit effective cleanliness.
