    Explanation:

    As the only element or metal that is liquid at room temperature, it is used in many common household products and fixtures.
    It is contained in the following products: thermometers (looks like a silvery liquid); thermostats; blood- pressure cuffs; barometers; fluorescent and high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps; mercurochrome; auto

    switches; float switches; button-cell batteries; old latex paint; some oil-based paints; old alkaline batteries; chemistry sets; old fungicides for seeds and turf; dental amalgam; some imported jewellery (glass ampoules with silver liquid); weight/counterweight in grandfather clocks.
    Statement 2: Button cell batteries use Mercury, not Laptop batteries.
    Mercury can enter our bodies through our lungs and skin, or more commonly, by eating mercury- contaminated fish.
