For decades, incineration has been a standard method for disposing of sharps and medical waste. The process of incineration, however, poses enormous environmental and health concerns. Pollutants are a natural byproduct of combustion, and a serious concern in today's world. Some of the most dangerous emissions from incineration are dioxins and mercury, which can travel far from their source and become integrated into the crops and livestock that humans rely on for food.
Due to its unique properties, mercury is a useful, versatile component of many modern tools. This substance is found often in its liquid elemental state, in devices such as barometers, manometers, thermometers, and thermostats. Despite the numerous common uses of mercury, however, it is one of the most harmful of the heavy metals.
