MERCURY DETECTION BADGES
– MERCURY CHEMICAL DETECTION DEVICES
DETECT MERCURY ON THE JOB SITE
Mercury is used in many scientific instruments and meters, as well as in mercury arc lamps that produce ultraviolet rays. It is also present in pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals and antifouling paints. Mercury exposure may cause inflammation of the mouth and gums, kidney damage, muscle tremors, depression and nervousness.
ChromAir and SafeAir Mercury badges are simple, cost-effective, industry-proven solutions for mercury detection in the workplace. They use colorimetric technology (i.e. color change) to provide immediate indication when mercury is present. No need for lab analysis or electronic reader.
BADGES DESIGNED FOR MERCURY DETECTION
SafeAir® Mercury Badge
- Detects presence of mercury using a universal warning sign (exclamation mark in triangle)
- Ideal for employee monitoring or leak detection
ChromAir® Mercury Badge
- Indicates range of exposure dose to mercury using an easy-to-read format
- Ideal for employee or area monitoring

SafeAir Mercury Badge (Part#: 382005)
SafeAir Mercury badges provide an immediate visual indication of exposure to mercury at two sensitivity levels. When mercury vapor is present, the exclamation marks in the triangular windows change color. The front of the badge detects mercury at 0.25 mg/m3∙hr, while the back of the badge is more sensitive, detecting mercury at 0.08 mg/m3∙hr. The intensity of the color change is proportional to the exposure dose.
SafeAir Mercury badges are a simple, cost-effective, and precise solution for mercury detection in the workplace.

ChromAir Mercury Badge (Part#: 380018)
ChromAir Mercury badges provide an immediate visual indication of exposure dose to mercury. When exposed to mercury, a color change forms starting from the bottom cell, and then moving up each cell to the top cell. The highest cell with a color change indicates dose exposure level. ChromAir Mercury badges are a simple, cost-effective solution for mercury detection in the workplace.

– Frequently Asked Questions –
FAQ
Where is mercury used?
Mercury is used in barometers, thermometers, hydrometers, pyrometers, and in mercury arc lamps producing ultraviolet rays. It is also used in pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals and antifouling paints. Mercury spills and heated mercury are particularly hazardous examples for exposure.
What are the health effects of mercury exposure?
Chronic exposure to mercury may cause inflammation of the mouth and gums, kidney damage, muscle tremors, depression and nervousness.
What are the exposure limits for mercury?
OSHA PEL (permissible exposure limit) in the general industry for mercury is 0.1 mg/m3 (TWA). NIOSH REL (recommended exposure limit) for mercury is 0.05 mg/m3 (TWA).
How does a mercury badge change color?
A color-forming reaction occurs when mercury reacts with the proprietary indicator layer in SafeAir and ChromAir mercury detector badges.
