How much mercury are we talking about here? If somebody (misguidedly)
vacuumed up the droplets from, say, a broken thermometer, would their
house have to be demolished?
Incidentally, the Illinois story has the marks of
an urban legend. Most homes are so well ventilated that vapor from
modest spills of dirty mercury is not likely to reach hazardous
levels.
