Russ,

My problem is that my husband is adamant about not wanting to call poison control or EOHSI. He thinks I overblow things and this has been a source of marital strife. It is very hard for me. His father said he would call OEHSI himself tomorrow to talk about the situation without identifying us if we wanted. I will ask him to do this. I also have a friend who works for EOHSI and I will call him tonight. The EPA website and many others state that you can clean it yourself with a thermometer, and we followed protocol. My concern is that this thermometer broke not yesterday but two years ago.

Can you get me information on where to get a mercury vapor meter in central NJ otherwise. I may do this myself if necessary.

Thank you.
