The thermometer is broken. When will the poison gas disappear?

Hello: Because the liquid in the thermometer is mercury, and its chemical name is mercury, which is extremely toxic. It will evaporate at room temperature, and the evaporation temperature is 38 degrees. Deal with it as soon as possible after it is broken: you can sprinkle sulfur. The evaporation rate of mercury depends on the concentration of mercury and the effect of ventilation. Remove mercury in time, it will disappear after evaporation, so it is best to keep good ventilation for 6.8 hours a day for several days.
