Скачать или смотреть Mercury Mining Process Explained: From Cinnabar Ore to Liquid Metal

Every year, thousands of tons of mercury are produced and isolated worldwide, yet this liquid metal never truly disappears—it migrates through water, air, and living organisms, accumulating in the food chain and waiting for the next human error. We'll show you how mercury ore is extracted from deep underground mines, how cinnabar is heated in sealed furnaces to release toxic vapors, and how this ancient metal—once believed to grant immortality—became one of humanity's most dangerous industrial legacies. From alchemists who breathed its fumes and went mad, to the Minamata tragedy where an entire city was poisoned through contaminated fish, this is the story of a substance that drove scientists insane, killed thousands, and still hides in deposits across the planet, now treated not as a resource but as a threat that can't simply be buried.
