NYU Langone: Mercury Policies (2016)

Description

In an effort to protect personnel and the environment, it is the policy of NYU Langone Medical Center to eliminate the use of mercury-containing products and equipment where safe, effective alternatives exist. The mercury elimination program requires that where no acceptable substitute is available, products containing mercury will be clearly labeled, inventoried, safely handled and properly disposed of with the goal of phasing out all remaining mercury-containing materials as new alternatives are identified.
