Na rozdíl do rozšířených obav, kapalná rtuť představuje málo nebezpečné pro muže a pro životní prostředí. Pevné amalgamy jsou pravděpodobně méně toxické formy sloučenin rtuti.	intoxikace; rtuť
eng	Information on Several Interesting Case Reports of Liquid Mercury Intoxication	This contribution reports on several mercury non-professional intoxications. It can be summarized that it is very important to differentiate among forms of mercury which can (acute or chronic) endanger human health. Contrarily to the wide pread fears, liquid mercury represents low danger for men and for environment. Solid amalgams are probably the less toxic forms of mercury compounds. On the other hand, widely spread daily consumer goods can be very dangerous and toxic (saving balls, fluorescent tubes, etc.). Moreover, these goods are not marked as “toxic mercury containing”. The article discusses the instruction for removing mercury from our environment. Most of the reported data are based on database of the Czech Toxicological Information Centre (TIC) (from the years 1995–2015).	Mercury; Intoxication
