The proposed regulations would ban the sale of thermometers, thermostats and

batteries containing mercury and would also set limits on the amount of mercury

in some products exempted from the ban such as fluorescent lamps, mercury vapor

lamps and automobile headlamps.

AMALGAM FILLINGS have NOT been included in the proposal!! (The mercury content

of vaccines wasn't mentioned either!!).

The public has until May 12 to comment on the proposed rules.
