Mercury reagent yog ib qho tshuaj ruaj khov, nyiaj-dawb, ci iab, hnyav ua kua. Insoluble hauv acids thiab alkalis. nws tuaj yeem evaporate ntawm chav tsev kub. nws vapors thiab mercury tebchaw yog cov tshuaj lom heev (ntev). Nws yog cov hlau nkaus xwb nyob rau hauv cov kua hauv lub xeev ntawm qhov kub thiab txias. Melting point: -38.87 ° C, boiling point 356.6 ° C, ceev 13.59 g / cm3. Muaj zog, cohesive quab yuam thiab stability nyob rau hauv huab cua. Mercury vapor evaporates ntawm chav tsev kub. Chav dej muaj tshuaj lom heev. Ntuj Mercury yog sib xyaw ntawm xya isotopes ntawm nws. nws yog me ntsis soluble hauv dej thiab ntau soluble hauv huab cua. Mercury yog ubiquitous. Feem ntau, tsiaj txhu thiab nroj tsuag muaj kab mercury. Yog li ntawd, kab mercury muaj nyob rau hauv peb cov zaub mov thiab tuaj yeem metabolized los ntawm excretion, plaub hau, thiab lwm yam. nws tau siv ntev. Nyob rau hauv ancient Tuam Tshoj, nws sulfide (feem ntau hu ua cinnabar) tau siv nyob rau hauv txhua hnub pigments xws li painting. nws kuj tau pom nyob rau hauv kab lis kev cai relics pleev xim rau hauv Egypt. Tom qab kev sim, cov tshuaj tau pom nyob rau hauv lub xyoo pua 15th -16th century, uas qhia tag nrho tias Mercury tau siv thoob ntiaj teb, tsis yog hauv Suav teb nkaus xwb tab sis kuj nyob rau hauv medieval alchemy ntsev yog hu ua peb yam dawb huv ntawm alchemy.
Thaum Lub Yim Hli 16, 2017, Minamata Convention ntawm nws tau nkag mus rau hauv Suav teb. Thaum Lub Kaum Hli 27, cov npe ntawm cov carcinogens tso tawm los ntawm lub koom haum thoob ntiaj teb rau kev tshawb fawb txog kev mob qog noj ntshav, Lub Koom Haum Saib Xyuas Kev Noj Qab Haus Huv Ntiaj Teb tau txheeb xyuas ua ntej rau kev siv. nws thiab inorganic mercury tebchaw tau suav nrog hauv cov npe ntawm peb hom carcinogens. Thaum Lub Xya Hli 23, 2019, mercury thiab mercury compounds tau teev nyob rau hauv cov dej muaj kuab lom thiab tsis zoo (thawj pawg).
Nws yuav tsum raug sau tseg tias txawm hais tias nws tau teev tseg tias yog cov tshuaj lom neeg carcinogen, kev noj tshuaj me me ntawm cov kua Mercury feem ntau yuav tsis ua rau muaj kev phom sij loj heev (qee cov ntaub ntawv hais tias nws yuav tsim cov organic tebchaw hauv cov kab mob). Txawm li cas los xij, vapor thiab mercury ntsev (tshwj tsis yog rau qee qhov uas muaj cov solubilities tsawg, xws li mercury sulfide) yog cov tshuaj lom heev. Lawv tuaj yeem ua rau lub hlwb thiab lub siab puas tsuaj tom qab kev tswj qhov ncauj, nqus pa, lossis tiv tauj. nws feem ntau yog hloov los ntawm cawv hauv cov ntsuas kub. Nws tseem yog siv nyob rau hauv lub ntsuas kub siv nyob rau hauv cov neeg lub koom pheej ntawm Tuam Tshoj (tsis suav Hong Kong, Macao, thiab Taiwan). Tuam Tshoj npaj yuav maj mam txwv kev siv cov ntsuas ntsuas mercury los ntawm 2015. Cov organic compound uas txaus ntshai tshaj plaws yog Dimethylmercury [(CH3) 2hg], uas tuaj yeem ua rau tuag taus yog tias tsuas yog ob peb microliters (10-9m3 lossis 10-6dm3. los yog 10-3cm3) ntawm Dimethylmercury raug rau ntawm daim tawv nqaij.
Nws tuaj yeem khaws cia hauv cov kab mob thiab tau yooj yim nqus los ntawm daim tawv nqaij, ua pa, thiab plab hnyuv. Minamata tus kab mob yog ib yam ntawm nws cov tshuaj lom. nws rhuav tshem cov hlab ntsha hauv nruab nrab thiab muaj kev cuam tshuam rau lub qhov ncauj, mucosa, thiab cov hniav. Ntev mus ntev yuav ua rau lub hlwb raug mob thiab tuag. Txawm hais tias lub boiling point ntawm uas yog siab heev, lub saturatedMercury reagentvapor ntawm sab hauv tsev kub tau mus txog ob peb zaug ntawm cov tshuaj lom.
