RIVM Rapport 609300021 Abstract Environmental health guideline for Municipal Public Health Services Mercury in the indoor environment and health Although the sale of most mercury containing products is prohibited, mercury spills are still possible as old, mercury containing, products may break and release liquid mercury. Therefore, environmental health workers at the Municipal Public Health Services (GGD) need information concerning exposure assessment, health-based guideline values and clean-up procedures after mercury spills. For this purpose, the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) commissioned the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) and the Municipal Public Health Services (GGD) to draw up a guideline on mercury in the indoor environment and health. Exposure to mercury leads to more adverse health effects than most people anticipate and is therefore an underestimated problem. Long-term exposure to low concentrations of mercury vapour can lead to serious health effects. People can be exposed to mercury vapour for a long time if traces of mercury remain indoors after breakage of a mercury containing product. Traces of mercury can easily be left unseen in floor carpeting or in a small crack after apparent cleaning. This guideline is aimed at providing Municipal Public Health Service workers with background information and it is an instrument for assessing mercury spills. The guideline provides the information required for a careful risk assessment and gives advice on measures to be taken. A step-by-step plan has been developed as guidance for the assessment of mercury spills. Possibilities to prevent mercury spills indoors are discussed, such as facilitating the exchange of mercury containing thermometers and providing information and education. The appendices contain example letters for education and information purposes. Keywords: mercury, local public health authority, health risk, houses, indoor environment Pagina 5 van 82
