Then, there was the melamine in the milk scandal, killed thousands, tens of thousands with badly damaged kidneys, the PRC finally checking when the body count got noticed globally and only then did they find the managers responsible for the fraud and executed them.

The soils were clearly from a marsh of some sort and had a very noticeable metal tint to them similar what youd expect from an oil spill. I refused to do a total solids test until we got results back from our metals lab, which was standard. My boss was pissed, he's not a chemist and ran the lab about as well as you'd expect from a business man. Sure enough when the results came back they were extremely high in a variety heavy metals including mercury. Our TS test was just drying soils in our oven which would have likely caused my and my coworkers to get exposed to mercury and whatever else some corp decided to dump into the earth to save a buck.

I found an old, glass container of liquid mercury in my grandfather's garage. It wasn't completely sealed, and there's a bit of orange, rusty stuff, at the bottom. I found out, that's from decades of exposure to moisture. I was shocked by how heavy it is. There's a little less than 10 lbs of it. Papa refused to tell us where he hid it, because he knew we'd want to turn it over to the proper organization, for disposal. I found it, on my own, and I showed it to my son, and we watched plenty of videos about the different types of mercury poisoning, so now he's terrified of going near it. We're all afraid of the vapors. I can't find any place, nearby, that will come pick it up. My car is still broken down. But it's too dangerous to keep.

I've suffered from three severe concussions in the past so I can relate. It felt like water in a plastic bag that was full with a hat on my head. I didn't feel pain or get a headache. The reason it felt like that is because of cerebral fluid leaking or something. I didn't lose conscience and I still remember them happening. I was skiing on ice and lost my balance and fell hard on my forehead at a fast speed.(my skull caused the ice to crack 😂 and fall down the mountain lol) The Dr who treated me told me that he was shocked that I didn't crack my skull nor lose conscience. That was one time. I'm lucky to still be alive and I'm also hard headed. After having my concussions I had dreams that my computer was being fixed I was fixing it myself.I was trying to delete some files but they were unable to be deleted. I knew what that dream meant. The other two were due to accidents because I wasn't thinking about what I was doing.

No "At autopsy" either, meaning she was technically still alive but in that state which could scarcely be called 'living.'

I'm pretty sure that clip was from an old (1950s or 1960s) science education video. Unlike radiation, the dangers of mercury would have been well-known by the time that one was made and the participant almost certainly would have taken the necessary precautions (ie: wearing a mask to prevent inhalation of any fumes it released, thorough hand-washing after the recording session completed, etc. Hopefully would have thought to also wash the tools and basin but who knows on that front).

But nobody wanted to talk about the whole sordid affair, and that warning was never widely announced.
