[QUOTE="shivan, post: 173390, member: 194"] G'day mfdes, did a fair bit of research before i went near mercury. Everything i have read talks about elemental mercury being insoluble in water, though mercury salts can be sparingly soluble in warm water. Was i wrong in my understanding? I would be a lot happier eating veggies from my back yard than i would eating fish after what i have read ;) But do not worry too much the place the water got tipped will only ever be grass or concrete, and as i have only retorted 4 times and dumped probably less than 1 liter of water, i do not believe i have contaminated the yard just yet.... hopefully [/QUOTE]
