Guest guest Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Exposure to Mercury From Dental Fillings Exceeds Safe Levels CHAMPIONSGATE, Fla., Nov. 24, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new risk assessment report submitted by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology this month to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns that mercury from dental fillings is estimated to cause 67.2 million Americans to exceed the Reference Exposure Level (REL) of 0.3 ug/m3 established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) in 1995. If the more protective REL of 0.03 ug/m3 established in 2008 by the California Environmental Protection Agency is used, then the current safe-dose is probably exceeded by 122.3 million Americans. Dental fillings referred to by dentists as " amalgam " or " silver " are actually 50% mercury. A 2006 Zogby poll indicated that 76% of Americans were not aware that silver fillings are half mercury. full article here <http://www.theoneclickgroup.co.uk/news.php?start=4200 & end=4220 & view=yes & id=5598\ #newspost> I just love the One Click Newsletter!
