Abstract

Abstract A project was undertaken by the company to locate, quantify, and remove all mercury-contaminated equipment and elemental mercury from its global network of field and laboratory operational locations. The equipment and elemental mercury was shipped to prequalified vendors for equipment decontamination, mercury recovery, and purification with the aim of recycling the recovered mercury and decontaminated materials back into use.
