of thermometers and are known as the fixed points. The temperature range that is typically marked on a laboratory thermometer is −10oC to 110oC. Thermometric liquids are those that are used in thermometers. Some examples of such liquids are mercury and alcohol. The thermometric fluid used by Galileo Galilei in his thermometer was air. Alcohol‚ which is used as a thermometric liquid‚ has the following characteristic properties : 1. Alcohol has a very low freezing point of about −112oC and

iron mines are depositing methylmercury‚ a highly toxic form of mercury which builds up in fish‚ shellfish‚ and animals that eat fish. Accordingly‚ mercury is a naturally occurring element found in air‚ water‚ and soil. However‚ factories‚ mines‚ and large coal-burning plants deposit large amounts of methylmercury in the atmosphere and water‚ which is absorbed into small fish and shellfish and affects the food chain dramatically as mercury levels rise quickly higher in the food chain. This affects the

the effects of exposure to mercury and lead on children’s attention. From this study‚ researchers found that children exposed to higher levels of mercury or lead are three to five times more likely to be identified as having problems associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. This study originated in a group of Inuit children in Quebec who were found to have a high rate of ADHD due to their exposure to mercury in their mother’s womb.
