What if a mercury thermometer breaks?
If you have a mercury spill in your home, call the Illinois Department of Public Health at 1-888-522-1282 immediately for cleanup procedures. NEVER use a vacuum cleaner to clean up mercury, it will spread vapors and increase the area of contamination. What about the fish I eat? To find out more about fish advisories for Illinois bodies of water, pick up a copy of the 2002 Illinois Fishing Guide. The guide is available wherever fishing licenses are sold or by calling the Illinois Department of Natural Resources at 217-782-6424.
