Buying a new apartment or putting on a removable often have to do at least a cosmetic and repair. You can detect anything. This is such an unpleasant find to get one young pair. Next, their story.
We make repairs with a girl in a removable apartment and under the wallpaper in a concrete wall found holes made at an angle, and inside mercury. Already found 5 such bookmarks. The owner called for the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the police. We still live in another apartment, but in two weeks they must move there. Has anyone come across this? How safe to live in such an apartment after removing mercury (we have a child for 7 years)? The diameter of the opening is 8-9 mm. All holes are the same and arranged in different rooms. This is what the bookmark looks like.
And here it looks like.
Over the holes there was only one layer of wallpaper, although on the walls you can find another 4-5 layers of older, in the photo it can be seen that next to the old piece still remained.
All night in the apartment were open to the windows in the bedroom and in the kitchen. At 11.30 came the Ministry of Emergency Situations, shot the background. He was below the MPC.
Confirmed that it is really mercury in the holes. Digured from the first found to respond about 8-9 grams.
Then there were a lot of interested people: specialists from the laboratory, Uncle from the district council, the district, the criminal wanted list and some more unknown employees did not know. They called a lot by phone and told the detection history. Specialists from the laboratory brought another device. Unfortunately, it did not work out to take a picture better.
This unit constantly showed mercury background (dynamically). They said that inside the metal wire and to her "stick" ions of mercury, it saves and the background is calculated in provisions (I can make a mistake, but I understood this way). The most interesting started in the second room, when they removed the whole mercury with syringes. The background became 14000!, Fixed 47 MPC. Next, all the holes were shed with acid (in my opinion nitric) and closed the windows for the control measurement. According to the results, the background rose to 20,000. But they said that it was not for long. The set looked like this.
Inside there were tubes, syringes, respirator and jars with solutions. The respirator externally is quite ordinary, but they said that he was the controstut.
Two days later they said all the holes to shed them with a solution. At the end of the week, they will again come to measure. Police was interested in the history of the apartment, who when he lived when the repair was done. Foreignness that more than 5 years ago there was a grandmother of the past owner, because the grandmother died and the apartment was handed over. Then she bought her current owner. Who the latter did repair without the old owner not to delete it, he is now abroad. We followed the explanatory owner, which was written by Lieutenant Colonel Ugrian. Wallpapers did not take it, they said that the prints could not be removed from there. Mesvesti said that after the control samples it would be possible to live. Through wallpaper, the pairs are weakly pass; Dust, sand is also reduced evaporation. Those. If there were no repairs in the kingdom, the background would not be overestimated and to identify this situation at the purchase stage would be impossible. As a result, more than 40 grams were collected, the bank still scotch is gray, so it's badly visible.
Police all zafotkala, even the house is outside. The apartment is now open windows, two days will be ventilated.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations confirmed the history of the laboratory in which mercury flowed into the jokes of the tile. That after discovery, the soil was carried and concreted.
I want to say specially from the Ministry of Emergency Situations Thank you very much for their daily work and calm that they instilled. Of course, we will still think about it, but most likely stay in this apartment, but we will measure the preventive background. The child will arrive a black month.
For neutralization, you can use: chlorine iron, manganese and a very strong solution of ordinary washing powder. Does not miss the mercury pairs: putty, wallpaper, cement (without additional heating). Radiation also measured, it is normal. The Ministry of Emergency Situations were surprised by the presence in pharmacies of the dough on mercury, they said that in it, judging by the description, the threshold threshold is strongly overpowering, i.e. There should be a very strong, not less than 3 PDCs. Those. It is easier to call the Ministry of Emergency Situations or Laboratory.
Thank you all for sympathy and tips.
