Answer:
Digital thermometers use a non-toxic alcohol instead of mercury to register the temperature.
Explanation:
Like liquid mercury, the alcohol expands in volume as it gets warmer, causing the liquid to move up the thin tube inside the glass thermometer. Digital thermometers contain a device called a thermoresistor.

There is a lot of concern over the use of mercury in thermometers. Mercury is a toxic substance and is very difficult to dispose of if a thermometer
breaks. These days digital thermometers are available which do not use mercury.
