Abstract / Excerpt:

“Most aspects of the mercury life cycle are addressed in the Community Strategy Concerning Mercury which key aim is to reduce mercury levels both in relation to human exposure and the environment. Pursuant to Action 6 of the Strategy, the use of dental amalgam should be evaluated with a view to considering whether additional regulatory measures are appropriate.”
