Boring Science For Sleep | Why It Sucked to Be a Mercury Miner

Settle in for some boring science for sleep as the Sleepless Scientist quietly drifts through the chemistry and hazards of mercury, from cinnabar ore and roasting to the toxic fumes that made mercury mining such a miserable job. You will hear calm, methodical explanations of how mercury behaves, why it was so useful, and why it was so dangerous for the people who handled it. Along the way, we will wander into other slow, soothing science details, including heavy metals, industrial processes, and the strange ways toxins move through the body and environment. If you like relaxing narration, gentle facts, and a sleep friendly science story that teaches you something while you wind down, this one is for you. 📚 Chapters: 0:00:00 Warm Night in the Old Mine 0:12:08 The Air That Turns Against You 0:24:16 Your Body’s Quiet Cleanup Crew 0:36:25 Dust: The Slowest Disaster 0:48:33 The Strange Jobs of Quicksilver 1:00:41 Heat, Cold, and the Unfairness of Physics 1:12:50 Gentle Chemistry: Why Some Things Don’t Mix 1:24:58 How We Figured It Out (Slowly, Imperfectly) 1:37:06 Mercury’s Long, Quiet Journey Through Nature 1:49:15 A Soft Landing: Work, Risk, and Rest
