620 Waste Management Practices: Municipal, Hazardous, and Industrial
in residential properties usually occurs in household appliances and lights. Items such as fluorescent
and HID lamps, thermostats, water heaters, furnaces, and ranges often store mercury-containing parts
(Purdue, 1996). Commercial properties usually have larger water heaters, furnaces, and appliances
(depending on the type of property). Boiler rooms often contain mercury devices. Mercury switches
are frequently associated with heating and cooling equipment. Some homes have mercury gas flow
regulators attached to the gas meter; some larger buildings have mercury manometers to regulate gas
flow. Some of these wastes are managed as Universal Wastes (see Chapter 18), whereas others such
as lead components may require more stringent management and disposal.
