Gas discharge tubes
Posted: 27 Oct 2008, 09:20
Hi all,
I am new to Chemtalk and this is my first post, so I hope I am doing it the right way.
Our physics department has some very old gas discharge tubes that either don't work or are on their last legs. What is the correct way to dispose of them given one of them contains mercury? I have only been a lab assistant for a few months and am unsure of where to go to get the correct information. Thanks in advance for your help and ideas.
