A member asked:

Yesterday at 9 pm i broke a glass thermometer immediately i cleaned that place i am afraid if i got some intake or inhaled till there is no symptoms?

No reason to worry: Metallic mercury cleaned up at once and not allowed to get deep into crevices in bulk or your heating system isn't a serious danger. I'm glad you're aware of mercury and trust you did a thorough clean-up.
