From 1981 to 2001 disposable mercury monitors based on palladium chloride have been deployed in 3,568 dental surgeries throughout the United Kingdom. They have performed well as first-level indicators of high concentrations of mercury vapour in surgeries that had become contaminated by spillage of mercury or faulty equipment. Whilst accumulated data suggests that mercury hygiene practices have improved over the past 20 years, the move to the use of disposable capsules rather than automatic amalgamators does not appear to have been a major factor in this improvement.
从1981年到2001年，基于氯化钯的一次性汞监测器已在英国各地的3568家牙科诊所中使用。作为手术中汞蒸气高浓度的一级指标，它们在因汞泄漏或设备故障而受到污染的诊所中表现良好。虽然积累的数据表明，在过去20年里汞卫生措施有所改善，但转向使用一次性胶囊而非自动汞合金搅拌器似乎并不是这种改善的主要因素。
