If you live in the Eastern or Midwestern United States, there\u2019s no need to guess how cold it is outside this winter \u2015the new H-B Instrument Enviro-Safe\u00ae Nonhazardous Glass Thermometers available from Cole-Parmer <\/a>will confirm that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"H-B<\/a>

H-B Instrument Enviro-Safe\u00ae Thermometer<\/p><\/div>\n

Cole-Parmer is proud to present these new Earth-friendly \u201cgreen\u201d thermometers certified as 100% nontoxic, nonhazardous, and biodegradable.\u00a0 These accurate and safe thermometers offer the same accuracy as mercury thermometers without the hazards.\u00a0 They are ideal for use in laboratories, universities, food\/beverage, environmental, wastewater, and many other general-purpose applications where the presence of mercury or other hazardous liquids is not desired.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0All Enviro-Safe glass thermometers contain an environmentally friendly non-mercury liquid that is 100% certified as nontoxic, nonhazardous, and fully biodegradable. In case of breakage, the liquid can be cleaned up easily with soap and water.\u00a0 These thermometers also have recyclable packaging, an antiroll fitting, individual serial numbers, and a statement of accuracy.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s so bad about mercury thermometers, anyway?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mercury thermometers are harmful to both the environment and your personal health.\u00a0 In fact, Mercury is toxic to humans and wildlife.\u00a0 If a mercury thermometer breaks and is not properly disposed of, tiny droplets of mercury can evaporate within the environment over time.\u00a0 When mercury vapor enters the bloodstream through inhalation, brain damage, spinal cord, kidney, and liver damage may occur in time.<\/p>\n

Additionally, improperly disposing of mercury from thermometers can contaminate lakes and streams.\u00a0 Mercury may accumulate in the bodies of fish and other wildlife and, through natural processes, converts this mercury into methyl mercury, which is harmful to humans when consumed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
