Mercury in Dental Filling Disclosure and Prohibition Act.

Author: Watson D.

Source: Congressional Bill.

Year: 2001

Comment:

This bill to end the use of dental amalgam mercury was never passed, but when Congresswoman Diane Watson of California presented it, she noted the dangers dental mercury poses to pregnant women, children, the immune system, and dentists.

Abstract / Excerpt:

“In times like these, there are toxins that we don’t know much about — how to control them, their source, and their impact. But there are toxins that we DO know about — toxins that we know do not belong in our bodies, toxins that we can do something about. My bill addresses that very problem.”
