Starting January 1, 2026, China will completely ban the production of mercury thermometers. This marks significant progress not only in public health but also reflects a deeper commitment to environmental protection. Mercury, a highly toxic heavy metal, poses potential health risks and long-term environmental pollution. With this policy, such risks are gradually becoming a thing of the past.
Many are familiar with mercury thermometers and may have concerns about their phase-out: Are digital thermometers accurate?
Rest assured-accuracy is never compromised. Take our Exanovo stick-style digital thermometer as an example. It utilizes the same contact-based measurement principle as mercury thermometers-it does not estimate. Simply follow the same 3–5 minute measurement time as with traditional thermometers, and its high-sensitivity sensor will deliver reliable and precise temperature readings. The clear digital display eliminates the guesswork of reading tiny scales, making measurement faster and reading easier.
More importantly, we have completely eliminated safety hazards. Both our digital thermometers and our mercury-free thermometers made with safer, eco-friendly materials entirely avoid the risks of mercury leakage and its associated toxicity and pollution. This is a safer and more responsible choice-especially for households with children, pregnant women, or the elderly, and for those who value ecological sustainability.
Technological advancement aims to make health management safer and more convenient. With over 40 years of experience in the medical device industry, Exanovo has long been prepared for this shift. Our range of mercury-free thermometers is designed to lead this trend toward health and environmental responsibility.
Choosing Exanovo digital and mercury-free thermometers is not just about choosing a product-it's about choosing a more advanced, safer, and greener lifestyle.
Protect your family's health-start by saying goodbye to mercury today.
