minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish13•2 years agoVery cool. Do we know what the fluid is? Does it pose any health risks if it somehow leaks into the groundwater?
minus-squareroguetricklinkfedilink6•edit-22 years agoThey’re saying it’s minerals and a polymer. In that case even a leak into groundwater would just be leaking groundwater. (Depending on what the polymer is)

It’s just good ol’ fashioned mercury.
