According to sources, the East Cambridge Health Center at the Twin City Plaza in Somerville had a partial quiet evacuation today because of a Mercury spill earlier in the day. Environmental clean-up crews remained there through the day to contain the spill while a rear exit door was sealed off with yellow caution tape to prevent anyone from entering the rear of the building. Apparently business went on as usual in the front part of the building with many occupants roaming the building.Mothers with their children were unaware of what was going on around the other side and were not made aware that a spill had occurred.
