Many toxic manufacturing compounds are securely disposed of through the means of high-temperature combustion. However mercury is not "annihilated" when coal comprising mercury impurities is scorched. This is happening because when the mercury in the carbon (coal Hg) is burned it changes into a gas which is emitted into the atmosphere.
