Anyone else notice this article on the apparent EU-prompted demise of
mercury barometers and thermometers?

I'd heard rumours about this from some time back but thought that the
concerns had gone away. Anyone know if there's likely to be any
impact on eg thermometers for meteorological use or will they be
exempt too?
