Contact College Police by dialing 911 from a College phone. Inform the dispatcher of your location, that mercury has been released and/or spilled and whether you are having any physical reaction, such as burns or difficulty breathing.

DO NOT leave the area or room. WAIT for emergency responders to come to you. This will contain the contamination to one location. If possible, flush the affected area with water without leaving the room.
