Mercury is one of the most hazardous substances to human health and also for the environment. For this reason, the European Union has decided to implement the new rules so that you can get to significantly reduce exposure to mercury for humans, plants and animals and thus offer a better future for our children and the planet in which we live.
The European Union has decided to reduce the time of temporary storage of metallic mercury, which can only be stored up to a maximum of 5 years. As for permanent storage have not yet been made final decisions because it is first necessary to try to understand how dangerous it can be a practice of this type.
The storage of metallic mercury can be performed in underground storage in underground deposits are deposits if they are certified by the European Union. All deposits must in fact be one hundred percent safe and should specifically be well insulated from the ground so that there is no loss of mercury, must allow the reversibility of the storage and must then avoid the development of emissions of mercury vapor.
The EU member states will have to adapt to the new guidelines by the end of March 2013.
