Mercury in our water supply is a serious problem. And waste amalgam (which contains about 50% mercury) is a major source of mercury in our wastewater. Toxic in any form, mercury can have wide-ranging effects on a variety of bodily systems. As awareness increases, more and more states and municipalities are mandating that dental offices install amalgam collection devices. Along with this increase in legislation, a commensurate increase in enforcement is sure to follow. Visit www.airtechniques.com for more details.
