Answer:

Explanation:

Glass thermometers have Mercury(Hg), a toxic metal in them which is liquid on room temperature. When the thermometer gets broken the toxic substance can get out of the thermometer and if we throw the broken thermometer in the community dustbins the Mercury in it will spill over the trash in it. This could possibly kill the person cleaning the dustbin or throwing the trash
