Help me Fedi hive-mind! I have a small amount of mercury-contaminated glassware (an old bubbler) that I need to deal with. I have a vague memory of nitric acid being used, but this UIUC sheet is not in favor. I guess I could treat it like a thermometer and break it up, but that's a lot of glass shard to make and manage.
