Due to the fact that the only stable form of mercury is as a gas along with galvanic/EMF currents pumping mercury from amalgam into the body, dental amalgam has been documented by Medical lab tests to be the largest source of mercury in most people who have amalgam fillings (www.myflcv.com/damspr1.html)

Due to these large exposures plus mercury going into sewers from dental offices, EPA and Municipal Sewer agencies have found that amalgam is also the largest source of mercury in sewers and sewer sludge, with very high levels of mercury in both. They found a person with several amalgam fillings excretes on average approximately 30 micrograms of mercury into the sewers, a huge level given the extreme toxicity of mercury. wwww.myflcv.com/damspr2.html While the EPA health limit for mercury in water is 2 parts per billion, the level of mercury in sewage sludge is 2 to 3 parts per million. But since sewer plants cannot take mercury out of the sewage, the mercury flows into water bodies and is a significant source of mercury in water bodies, the environment, fish, etc.

An amalgam on average has about ½ gram of mercury, which has been documented to be enough to contaminate all fish in a 10 acre lake to dangerous levels. The amount of mercury going into water bodies each year is enough to contaminate all such water bodies to dangerous levels. And over half of Florida water bodies have health warnings for mercury in fish, both freshwater and saltwater. Large surveys have found over 30% of Floridians to have dangerous body burdens of mercury (www.myflcv.com/fishhg.html )

Since all the dentists at the FDA Orlando dental amalgam safety forum agree that there are now better options than amalgam for fillings, its time to ban or greatly limit amalgam use- like other countries with modern health systems do. And to immediately require all dental offices to install amalgam separators.
