What Are The Negative Effects Of Broken Mercury Thermometer?

Please, there is no reason to be concerned anymore.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this accident and all the disturbing thoughts this has caused you. It is one reason to be careful and take precautions but another to allow your conscious thoughts to affect you. There is no more reason to be afraid of mercury and its possible consequences as you cleaned and disposed off as recommended. Working at the same site has no increased risk because of what happened. The amount of mercury in these thermometers is for real so tiny that it takes several to ever get to any meaningful exposure levels.
Please, be calm and relaxed about this. There is no reason to get too worried at this time. You, your children and the jobsite are all safe.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
