Seafood contaminated from some of the above sources - really, if I have to provide you links for this one, you're just refusing to see the issue for the problem it is. electronic and industrial use - this is another "Well duh!" issue. Mercury has been a key ingredient in computers for decades. I'm actually glad that you've decided to publicly bury your head in the sand on this issue. It's one of the top issues those in the alternative arena take up. The obviousness of the problem is only surpassed by the glaring ignorance displayed by those who refuse to acknowledge it. By hinting that you don't believe what I said, you have diminished your credibility... of course, thinking you have credibility in this group would also be a prime example of your glaring ignorance. Have a nice day. Max. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Max, STOP confusing people with the facts. True, Max is confused: http://www.heartland.org/Article.cfm...KEN=62469 501 "Most of the mercury existing in the environment is released through natural processes. These natural processes include surface volcanic eruptions; deep sea vents and volcanic activity; hot springs such as the geyser basins in Yellowstone National Park or those at the bottom of Clear Lake in California; evaporation from the ocean basins, other water bodies, and soils; and erosion. The oceans alone contain millions of tons of naturally occurring mercury. Forest fires and the burning of other types of vegetation also contribute to the world mercury budget. These natural "emissions" contribute approximately 61 percent of the annual emissions that make up the world mercury budget." Try reading the entire article for facts. These facts have been posted many times. Mark KNOWS that. DAMS, Inc.; P.O. Box 7249; Minneapolis, MN 55407-0249 local contact: see page 3 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 19, 2001 New Studies Find Dental Amalgam Fillings to be the Number One Source of Mercury in Most People and Daily Exposure Exceeds Government Health Standards for Inorganic Mercury(vapor). Studies also found adverse health effects in adults and that mercury from amalgam is passed on to infants through mother?s blood and milk , and that developmental effects on infants occur at low levels of mercury exposure. A large National Institute of Dental Research Study has confirmed other previous study results that found that the current type of amalgam dental fillings being used in the U.S. leak significant amounts of the extremely toxic substance mercury into the body and are the number one source of mercury in people. The study measured mercury levels in the blood and urine of over 1000 military personnel and found a high significant correlation to the number of amalgam filling surfaces in the mouth. Like several other recent studies, the study found that amalgam fillings are not stable because of mercury?s low vapor pressure and galvanic electric currents between the different metals in the mouth. For this large military population that had a range of from 0 to 66 amalgam filling surfaces and an average of 20 surfaces, each 10 surfaces added approximately 1 microgram of mercury per liter of urine excreted, meaning total mercury excreted in urine averaged about 4.5 micrograms per day, with soldiers levels with over 49 amalgam surfaces averaging over 8.7 micrograms. The average level for those with fillings was 4.5 times that of the controls without amalgam, and those with over 49 surfaces averaged over 8 times controls. Together with the considerably larger amount of mercury excreted daily through the digestive tract and sweat, the daily mercury excretion would amount to well over 10 micrograms per day on average and much more for some individuals. Over 90 % of the mercury in the urine was inorganic mercury, the kind that comes from fillings, as opposed to organic mercury which comes from fish. For this population, it was determined that the exposure from amalgam fillings was the primary source of mercury exposure, and on average exceeded the levels that would be consistent with U.S. Government Standards(MRL) for daily mercury exposure. The study?s findings were consistent with the findings of many other recent such studies, including a similar study testing 20,000 people at a University Health Clinic in Germany, as well as the findings of the World Health Organization Scientific Panel on mercury. (see references) The U.S.EPA mercury health guideline for elemental mercury exposure(vapor) is 0.3 micrograms per cubic meter of air(0.3 ug/M3). For the average adult breathing 20 M3 of air per day, this amounts to an exposure of 6 micrograms(ug) per day. The U.S. Department of Health, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ASTDR) standard (MRL) -for acute inhalation exposure to mercury vapor is 0.2 micrograms Hg/M3, which translates to approx. 4 ug/day for the average adult(5). The corresponding tolerable daily exposure developed in a report for the Canadian Health Agency, Health Canada, is .014 ug/kg body weight or 1 ug/day for average adult(6). The permissible level for a child would be less. But the levels of the average daily exposures found in the study were above all of these health guidelines for mercury exposure. Other studies that the Government Health Standards were based on have found adverse health effects at very low levels and developmental effects on infants and children at very low levels of exposure, along with finding that mercury vapor from a mother?s fillings is readily transferred through the mother?s blood across the placenta to a fetus and also through mother?s milk. These findings increase the urgency to advise the public of the clear danger in the use of mercury in fillings and to reconsider the policy of using mercury in dental fillings. Based on such studies, several other countries, such as Sweden, Australia, UK, Germany, Norway, Japan, and Canada along with the state of California have already adopted restrictions or warnings on the use of mercury in fillings, such as for children, pregnant women, women of child bearing age, people with damaged kidneys or immune systems, and in the mouth adjacent to other metals. Amalgam manufacturers have also warned against some of the uses currently made of amalgam in dentistry in the U.S. Studies are also available that confirm adverse health effects from amalgam fillings and clinically document that many thousands of people have recovered or had significant improvement in many health conditions including very serious conditions after replacement of amalgam fillings. Fact sheets are available from DAMS with medical study references covering the statements and issues in this press release. (see contact information) DAMS is currently working with very many people in the U.S. dealing with serious health effects caused by exposure to mercury from amalgam and urges everyone to find out more about this major problem and to get involved in resolving these health safety issues. DAMS can provide information and help to anyone who is interested or who thinks they might have health problems related to their amalgam fillings.

Oral Health Promotion, Risk Factors and Molecular Epidemiology Branch, National Institute of Dental Research, Bethesda, Maryland 20892, USA. Minute amounts of mercury vapor are released from dental amalgams. Since mercury vapor is known to be associated with adverse health effects from occupationally exposed persons, questions regarding the margin of safety for exposure to mercury vapor in the general population continue to be raised. To address this issue, one needs information regarding exposure to mercury vapor from dental amalgam fillings and its possible consequences for health in the general population. The NIDR Amalgam Study is designed to obtain precise information on amalgam exposure and health outcomes for a non-occupationally-exposed population of US adults. One hypothesis was that in a generally healthy population a significant association between amalgam exposure and Hg levels in urine and/or whole blood could be detected. The cohort investigated was an adult military population of 1127 healthy males. Their average age was 52.8 years, and their ages varied from 40 to 78 years. Ninety-five percent of the study participants were white males, and slightly over 50% had some college education. Five percent were edentulous. The dentate participants, on average, had 25 natural teeth, 36.9 decayed or filled surfaces (DFS), and 19.9 surfaces exposed to amalgam, with amalgam exposure varying from 0 to 66 surfaces. Their average total and inorganic urinary mercury concentrations were 3.09 microg/L and 2.88 microg/L. The average whole-blood total and inorganic mercury concentrations were 2.55 microg/L and 0.54 microg/L. Significant correlations were detected between amalgam exposure and the total (r = 0.34, p 0.001) and inorganic 0.34 (r = 0.34, p 0.001) urinary mercury concentrations on the original scale. Stronger correlations were found for total (r = 0.44, p 0.001) and inorganic (r = 0.41, p 0.001) urinary Hg on the log scale, as well as for creatinine-corrected total (r = 0.43, p 0.001) and inorganic (r = 0.43, p 0.001) urine concentrations. In whole blood, statistically significant, but biologically weak, correlations were detected for total (r = 0.09, p = 0.005) and inorganic (r = 0.15, p 0.001) Hg concentrations, respectively. Based on these cross-sectional data, it is estimated that, on average, each ten-surface increase in amalgam exposure is associated with an increase of 1 microg/L mercury in urine concentration. PMID: 9496919, UI: 98156633 &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Ref. Paper #1 "Dental Amalgam Fillings" is the Number One Source of Mercury in People and Exposure Commonly Exceeds Government Health Standards for Inorganic mercury(vapor) Bernard Windham- Chemical Engineer Government agencies and medical studies have found that the number one source of mercury in people is from dental amalgam fillings(ref 2-20). Exposure from fillings amounts to from 50 to 90 percent of exposure, with the average being about 80 % of total exposure(5-9,12-15,19,20). The studies found that mercury amalgams are unstable due to mercury's low vapor pressure and galvanic action, leaking mercury vapor continuously into the lungs and saliva at levels exceeding health standards. Mercury exposure of most people with fillings was found to exceed government health standards and levels found to cause adverse health effects(see below). The tolerable daily exposure level for mercury developed in a report for Health Canada is .014 micrograms/kilogram body weight(ug/kg) or approximately 1 ug/day for average adult(2). The U.S. EPA Health Standard for elemental mercury exposure(vapor) is 0.3 micrograms per cubic meter of air(1). The U.S. ATSDR health standard(MRL) for mercury vapor is 0.2 ug/ M3 of air, and the MRL for methyl mercury is 0.3 ug/kg body weight/day(4). For the average adult breathing 20 M3 of air per day, this amounts to an exposure of 4 or 6 ug/day for the 2 elemental mercury standards. The EPA health guideline for methyl mercury is 0.1 ug/kg body weight per day or 7 ug for the average adult(1). The range of mercury exposure levels found in people with amalgam fillings by the World Health Organization Scientific Panel on Mercury was 3 to 70 micrograms per day(3), with other medical studies finding up to 500 ug/day in gum chewers or people who grind their teeth(6,11,16,17,18) or some with large numbers of fillings. The average amount absorbed was above 10 ug/day (ref. 3-18). The average mercury exposure for a Canadian adult with amalgam fillings was found in the Health Canada study to be 9 ug/day(2). In a large German study with 20,000 tested subjects at a University Medical Clinic, the average exposure from fillings was over 10 ug/day and over 50 % of all those with 6 or more amalgam fillings had daily exposure exceeding the EPA health guideline(6). Studies have consistently found modern high copper non gamma-two amalgams have greater release of mercury vapor than conventional silver amalgams (21,22,23). Recent studies have concluded that because of the high mercury release levels of modern amalgams, mercury poisoning from amalgam fillings is widespread throughout the population"(17,22,18,6). Common levels found in persons with amalgam fillings are over 10 times the Health Canada TDE, and more than the EPA health standard for mercury vapor. Thus persons with amalgam fillings have levels of intraoral mercury vapor and body exposure levels higher than the level considered to have significant health risk. The studies found that Total mercury intake is proportional to the number and extent of amalgam surfaces, but other factors such as chewing gum and drinking hot liquids influence the intake significantly increasing exposure as much as 500%. ). A World Health Organzation Scientific Panel concluded that a safe level of mercury exposure below which no adverse effects occur has never been established(3) References (1) U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), 1996, "Integrated Risk Information System, National Center for Environmental Assessment,Cincinnati, Ohio(& web).

Amalgam Fillings Largest Source of Mercury by Far Based on a number of studies in Sweden, the World Health Organization review of inorganic mercury in 1991 determined that mercury absorption is estimated to be approximately four times higher from amalgam fillings than from fish consumption. Recent studies have confirmed this estimate and shown that the amount absorbed can vary considerably from person to person. 7. Gold Crowns, Gum, Bruxism, Computer Monitors Increase Release of Mercury Significantly Gum chewing, bruxism (grinding of teeth), computer terminal exposure, presence of gold fillings or gold crowns (even if covering mercury fillings), teeth brushing, braces and even chewing food cause the release of significantly increased amounts of mercury from the fillings in one's teeth. 8. Cumulative Poison Builds Up in Organs Mercury released from fillings builds up in the brain, kidneys, liver, pituitary, adrenals and other parts of the body. ======== According to the World Health Organization the general sources of mercury in the body a Breathed Air (.040 micrograms), Fish (2.34 micrograms), Non-fish food (.25 micrograms), Drinking-water .0035 micrograms), mercury vapor from dental amalgams (3 to 17 micrograms). *****The mercury vapor from dental amalgam alone is a bigger source than all the other sources together.******* |

Yet another glaring example of how you butt in to a topic unprepared... just ready to splatter your opinion around in hopes that someone will listen to you. That's why you were on my ignore list, buddy boy. You're just not worth my time. I'd rather spend time debating someone who at least makes an attempt to keep themselves informed. You have no credibility. You're laughable. It's really quite simple for those who can think. Oh, that's right ... Th at's right, you never learned to. |
