Baltimore Healthcare Mercury Remediation Services
Why are healthcare mercury remediation services critical for your Baltimore facility? When elemental mercury falls and hits a hard surface, it becomes microbeads. In addition, these microbeads may travel up to three feet per foot that they drop. Consequently, these microbeads trigger a significant threat due to their increased surface area. So, this will develop an increased off-gassing of mercury vapors. Plus, the microbead’s steam may specifically harm children, pregnant women, and people with compromised immune systems.
AEG Environmental has one of the East Coast’s most substantial mercury response teams. The mercury vapors and microbeads are complex to clean up, but no worries, our mercury remediation experts have you covered!

Was there previously a mercury spill at your health site? If yes, could you or someone else decontaminate the site correctly? Mercury is a silver-colored metal in liquid form at room temperature. Although mercury is a naturally occurring metal, it’s available in multiple artificial products like blood pressure cuffs, switches, thermometers, and light bulbs. Occasionally, mercury is accidentally dropped from these items and released into the environment.
There could be severe consequences when others in your premises are exposed to mercury vapors. Also, mercury is a neurotoxin that may provoke severe various health problems. This indicates your facility must be inspected promptly if you believe contamination is possible. If your home or business has contamination, our technicians will send a certified mercury responder to your property to sample the air for evidence of mercury vapors.
Additionally, our technicians use state-of-the-art instrumentation, including Jerome J505 Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Arizona Instruments Jerome 431-X Glod Film Technology, and Lumex products – to search for mercury vapors.
