Subject: [DCHAS-L] Marketing the Conversion to Non-Hg Thermometers

 

Colleagues,

 

I’m looking for comparison data / recommendations I might use to assuage academic researcher anxiety with respect to swapping their mercury thermometers for spirit thermometers.

 

Reluctance to give up Hg thermometers is often rationalized by claiming spirit thermometers aren’t as accurate or aren’t appropriate for as many applications as a mercury-filled thermometer.

 

I would appreciate suggestions on where I might find performance-based support for spirit-filled thermometers.

 

I have information regarding comparisons of potential exposure health risk, spill clean-up expense and environmental contamination.

 

Thanks for your help in finding performance-based support for using spirit filled thermometers rather than mercury filled thermometers,

 

Dan
