Concord, other schools have dealt with mercury
WVU, MU, Tech, more have removed contaminant from science buildings
Light bulbs, electrical switches, thermometers and barometers all have to go as part of an extensive cleanup effort to remove mercury from Concord University's campus science building.
Students at the university returned to classes last week to find the building closed for the semester because of mercury contamination.
Some beads of mercury had been found behind molding on the third floor of the campus's science building, said Stephen Rowe, interim vice president and academic dean.
