The intersection of staff reporter and policy Cao fly oldly " dangerous " Clinical thermometer no matter doctor on consulting room still sick bed nurse ago, the mercury clinical thermometer should be one of the most familiar tools. However, and few of people clear, in a small clinical thermometer, contain the great risks. If you break a clinical thermometer because of carelessness, will jump the liquid metal appearing from the inside like the water droplet, give out the silvery brilliant rays, this is mercury, the scientific name " mercury " . This is a kind of very harmful and lasting in environmental pollution noxious substance to health. These mercury let out is dripped and will be evaporated on the ground rapidly, but this does not mean they have disappeared. An ordinary stick type or the marking glass clinical thermometer includes about 1 grams of mercury inside. Because materials adopted are mostly the glass, in using, it is very apt to break, make mercury let out. At room temperature, mercury will be evaporated rapidly, form mercury vapour. After mercury of the quantity is all evaporated, can make the mercury density in a room 15 square meters big, 3 meters high reach 22.2 milligrams / cubic meter. Until the intersection of mercury and density 1 and in the room of 3 milligram each, so long as two might appear headache, the intersection of belly and angina, the intersection of person who have difficulty in breathing and symptom hour ordinary people. Moreover, poisoners' respiratory tract and lung tissue will probably be damaged, even die because of breathing depletedly. However, this kind of danger has not been paid attention to by the medical worker. The questionnaire investigation which one the first, second and third hospital of Beijing carries on reveals, for leaking mercury, think what needn't deal with accounts for 6%; Will leak the persons who will be poured in situ of mercury will account for 52%; 3% of the nurses think it is interesting to drip mercury, once touched mercury to drip with hands. In the face of mercury leaking, specialized handling is to spread sulphur yellow, make it form steady sulphurating mercury of shape; Or drip and suck mercury with the syringe, and then seal up for safekeeping with water; Or sweep mercury into the sewer, open the window to ventilate. But even open the window to ventilate, will drift off in mercury of the air and will still become the formidable enemy in environment protecting mode. The white snow great wave of Deputy Director introduces in the environment of Center for Disease Prevention and Control of China, such liquid metal turns into mercury vapour and enters atmosphere, even have an opportunity to go abroad, and subside in some rivers and lakes, and then a series of biological chemical reaction. The bacterium of inorganic mercury of some absorption changes it into methyl mercury in supersession in the lake, this is a compound with stronger toxicity. Entered the food chain after methyl mercury is eaten by the planktonic organism, successively entered more advanced fish and sea otter taking fish as food,etc. in the advanced animal's body. The victim will be the residents taking fish of river and the lake as main food finally. "Mercury produces the example that the health endangered already of common occurrence to the human body, the classical example is water Yu's disease of Japan. " Bai XueTao says, in the fifties of last century, successively 10,000 people suffered from this disease in Japanese water Yu town 40,000 residents. Make investigations and find out by several years, this is caused by the fact that residents eat and contain the marine product of mercury for a long time. Seeing that the great danger to health and environment of mercury that there is no medical treatment of mercury to rise, limit and forbid the use of mercury one after another in the world at present. "It is possible that mercury question is the mankind, and can control too. The question depends on whether we have enough resolution to control the pollution of mercury. " Dr. Pei Lei, technological officer of WHO Beijing Office, says, at present, World Health Organization has already set up a global mercury and dispelled the plan, the goal is that the whole world is reduced by 70% including mercury clinical thermometer and sphygmomanometer demand in 2017. Nowadays, it becomes one of the standards with safe international health care gradually that medical treatment is mercuryless. At the end of 2007, U.S.A. has 13 states through legislating, forbid using and including mercury thermometer, substitute it with safer electronic product. Some European countries including Sweden, Holland and Denmark forbid using and including mercury thermometer, blood pressure to measure the apparatus and other and include the mercury apparatus too. The European parliament has been already through legislating, forbid the EU countries to use and include mercury thermometer. In 2006, China began to try not to have medical activity of mercury. This activity is launched by cooperating with U.S.A. environmental protection administration by State General Bureau of Environmental Protection at that time, aim at reducing mercury content of health product of China's hygiene. Accumulate puddle hospital and Beijing God Temple Hospital and become the pilot hospital in Beijing, and made and reduced by 30% of the goals which include the apparatus of mercury. Propose in " China and the United States reduce mercury cooperation declaration " that the pilot hospital signs clearly, the main user, as a product containing mercury, the hospital should act and protect healthy main roles of masses by reducing and using mercury and discharging mercury. In difficult question 2007 of the Chinese hospital, come to an end temporarily in Sino-America collaborative projects, it is like a very quiet experiment even more that China has no medical treatment of mercury, click it to stop promptly, then have difficulty in taking a step. As to hospital, the cost question is unable to avoid. The traditional clinical thermometer only needs one or two yuan for one, and the electronic clinical thermometer price is about 100 yuan. The sphygmomanometer price of outdated mercury is more than 100 yuan, but the mechanical sphygmomanometer costs more than 1700 yuan. Beijing accumulate the intersection of puddle and the intersection of hospital and the intersection of apparatus and XuBo Yang, section chief of department, say hospital in about 600,000 yuan of expenditure under apparatus substitution, " all that hospitals draw " . Real problem, mercury substitute of product still have difficulty in in using. Yang XuBo says, some special wards, can not use the electronic clinical thermometer such as burning patients. Besides sterilize the management infected to stipulate, the products that every patient contacted should be sterilized, the traditional mercury type clinical thermometer is put inside antiseptic to soak directly, the electron is obviously not all right. This kind of substitution faces the technical challenge too. The electronic sphygmomanometer is sometimes " Examine noing " ,Even the producers will all stamp on the products voluntarily " Only standard for reference " . "When a patient needs to rescue, the blood pressure amount will come out, doctor, nurse are quite worried. " The method that the hospital that Yang XuBo locates adopts at present is, the clinical thermometer uses the electron, but still each ward keeps one in the mercury sphygmomanometer. In thermometer's and sphygmomanometer manufacturer's view, there is not medical treatment of mercury that does not obviously accord with their interests either. In 2008, in order to produce mercury sphygmomanometer and clinical thermometer, mercury quantity is probably 227 tons that China will dawdle. Chinese coral Xu, medical equipment of employer's organization think, it includeses the intersection of mercury and medical products to be national important goods and materials of strategic reserves, when present the disaster, epidemic situation, it is probably not all right to purchase temporarily. One medical apparatus Vice President of limited company Yang XingGuo shows, if our country, to having no mercury to substitute and act with undue haste, will unavoidably make some foreign groups rely on the technological advantage to monopolize, endanger the benefits of native enterprises and the country. Numerous non-governmental organizations and environmental groups are expecting to intervene the hospital and reduce mercury in administrative strength. But the reporter feels in the interview, let the hospital reduce the difficulty of mercury very big voluntarily, pursue Without medical treatment of mercury, are nearly cheered by nobody. Are there experts that propose what norm would rather be put energy to first than pursue and have no medical treatment of mercury? Does Che ���� Yan stare at Fei rarely? At home, because of insufficient to that mercury endanger propaganda, medical personnel oneself lack, take precautions against consciousness that mercury pollutes, in addition, the one that polluted mercury in the hospital ignored for a long time, made mercury of hospital in having no state supervised at all polluting. In addition, it is not complete that the country is correlated with supervising the norm, make the use including the mercury apparatus at present in very confused state too. "We hope to make and include mercury apparatus use guidelines clinically as soon as possible, thus control mercury caused in clinical use to pollute effectively. " The medical project of PLA general hospital ensures the expert of the centre to say, mercury is polluted just at our side, it is not a hidden danger, but true threat. Before we realize and reduce mercury in an all-round way, need the hospital to minimize the pollution of mercury in the daily behavior at first.
