Administrative Order for the gradual phase-out of mercury in all Philippine health care facilities and institutions.
For the thorough understanding of the atmospheric fate and transport of Hg it is necessary to document and comprehend the distribution and extent of emissions from point sources and from more diffuse sources, whether these are of anthropogenic origin or due to natural sources and processes.
Summary document of: The report summarizes the regulatory situation regarding mercury emissions in different countries, the status of mercury control technology development, and the cost of emission reduction in coal-fired power plants. Where possible, the economic evaluation includes any increased costs due to changes in waste disposal options for coal-combustion by-products.

The general objective of this project is to identify and manage mercury emissions in Chile in order to protect human health and the environment.
To fulfill this general objective, the project foresees the implementation of the following activities, among others:
• Identifying the main sources of mercury emission and release in Chile.
At present, there are many types of thermometers and sphygmomanometers in Chinese market. In accordance with principles of production, mercury-free thermometers can be roughly divided into three types which are new type thermometer (digital, electronic thermometer), infrared thermometer and strip thermometer. There are two kinds of mercury-free sphygmomanometer.
