  1. World Consumption of Mercury equals 60,000 flasks or 2000 tons • Recycled Mercury is 50% of Total • Virgin Mercury produced from mining is 30,000 flasks or 1000 tons

  2. Mercury Held in Stockpiles takes away from Supply • To Make up for Stockpiled Mercury Virgin Mercury is Mined • Stockpiling Mercury = Mercury Mining

  3. Mercury Storage • For more options when reuse occurs, distill the mercury to high purity • Package mercury in new steel flasks. Be sure no mercury is spilled on outside of container. Residual mercury will give off vapor. • Store indoors in areas with treated floors, seamless in case of accidental spills. • Monitor storage with vapor detectors. • Be sure floor capacity is sufficient for weight.
