HOW DOES MERCURY OCCUR IN THE ENVIRONMENT?
Mercury is a naturally occurring element that can be found throughout
the environment. Human activities such as burning coal and using
mercury to manufacture certain products, have increased the amount of
mercury that is currently cycling in the atmosphere, in soils, and in lakes,
streams and the oceans.
WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST SOURCES OF MERCURY AIR EMISSIONS?
According to EPA's 1999 National Emissions Inventory, coal-fired
electric power plants are the largest source of human-caused mercury
air emissions in the U.S. These power plants account for about 40% of
total U.S. manmade mercury emissions. Other large sources are
industrial boilers (about 10% of U.S. mercury emissions), burning
hazardous waste (about 5%), and chlorine production (also about 5%).
Burning municipal waste and medical waste was once a large source of
emissions but today, in response to EPA and State regulations and
reductions in mercury use, these sources are much less important.
Municipal waste combustors (MWCs) and medical waste incinerators
(MWIs) were major sources of mercury air emissions in 1990, but
implementation of EPA’s maximum achievable control technology
(MACT) standards has reduced emissions from each of these source
categories to less than 5 percent of U.S. mercury emissions.
The EPA researchers apparently were unaware of another pollution
source: dental mercury. Each year in the U.S. an estimated 40 tons of
mercury are used to prepare mercury-amalgam dental restorations.
Scientific studies have concluded that the amalgam is the source for
more than two thirds of the mercury in our human population. Each
amalgam, which is commonly called a "silver filling" by its installers,
daily releases on the order of 10 micrograms of mercury into the body.
This mercury either accumulates in the body or gets excreted via urine
and feces into our wastewater systems. After a person dies, the mercury
that has accumulated in the body is released to the environment via
either cremation or burial.
Another source of mercury pollution is dental office disposal. Most
dental offices without a metal separator dispose of their waste mercury
into municipal wastewater systems. Municipal treatment plant
processing separates wastewater into water and sludge. Mercury does
not disappear during this processing. Both treated water that is
discharged into waterways and sludge that is land-farmed contain
mercury. Mercury is also contained in air discharged from dental offices
into the atmosphere. The wastewater, sludge and dental office air are
another source of mercury pollution.
HOW DO PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE BECOME EXPOSED TO MERCURY?
Mercury that is emitted to the air falls to the ground either very close to
the source or many miles away. When mercury is deposited into the
water, or runs off the ground into the water, microorganisms convert
some portion to methyl mercury, a highly toxic form of mercury. Small
organisms take this up as they feed. As animals higher up the food
chain eat those small organisms, they also take in methyl mercury. The
process, known as bioaccumulation, continues with levels of mercury
increasing as it moves up the food chain. Fish that are higher in the food
chain, such as sharks and swordfish, have much higher mercury
concentration than fish that are lower on the food chain. Humans
become exposed when they eat fish that are contaminated with mercury.
THE SYMPTOMS OF MERCURY POISONING
In general, people who suffer from mercury poisoning may have an
undiagnosed condition such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, nervous
disorders, neurological or psychological disturbances, or just a general
feeling of malaise.
Malaise (mă-lāz') pronunciation
1. A vague feeling of bodily discomfort, as at the beginning of an illness.
2. A general sense of depression or unease:
Here is a list of the Symptoms of Mercury Poisoning according to the
Environmental Protection Agency
• Impairment of the peripheral vision
• Disturbances in sensations ("pins and needles" feelings,
numbness) usually in the hands feet and sometimes around the mouth
• Lack of coordination of movements, such as writing
• Impairment of speech, hearing, walking;

AUTISM & MERCURY POISONING
Autism is a syndrome characterized by impairments in social
relatedness, language and communication, a need for routine and
sameness, abnormal movements, and sensory dysfunction. Mercury
(Hg) is a toxic metal that can exist as a pure element or in a variety of
inorganic and organic forms and can cause immune, sensory,
neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions similar to traits
defining or associated with autism. Thimerosal, a preservative
frequently added to childhood vaccines, has become a major source of
Hg in human infants and toddlers. According to the FDA and the
American Academy of Pediatricians, fully vaccinated children now
receive, within their first two years, Hg levels that exceed safety limits
established by the FDA and other supervisory agencies. A thorough
review of medical literature and U.S. government data indicates (i) that
many and perhaps most cases of idiopathic autism, in which an
extended period of developmental normalcy is followed by an
emergence of symptoms, are induced by early exposure to Hg; (ii) that
this type of autism represents a unique form of Hg poisoning (HgP); (iii)
that excessive Hg exposure from thimerosal in vaccine injections is an
etiological mechanism for causing the traits of autism; (iv) that certain
genetic and non-genetic factors establish a predisposition whereby
thimerosal's adverse effects occur only in some children; and (v) that
vaccinal Hg in thimerosal is causing a heretofore unrecognized
mercurial syndrome.
SYNOPSIS
A review of medical literature indicates that the characteristics of autism
and of mercury poisoning (HgP) are strikingly similar. Traits defining or
associated with both disorders are summarized in Table A immediately
following the Table of Contents and are discussed and cited in the body
of this document. The parallels between the two diseases are so
thorough as to suggest, based on total Hg injected into U.S. children,
that many cases of autism are a form of mercury poisoning.
For these children, the exposure route is childhood vaccines, most of
which contain thimerosal, a preservative which is 49.6% ethylmercury by
weight. The amount of mercury a typical child under two years receives
from vaccinations equates to 237.5 micrograms, or 3.53 x 1017
molecules (353,000,000,000,000,000 molecules). Most such vaccinal
Hg may not be excreted and instead migrates to the brain.
The total amount injected into infants and toddlers (i) is known to exceed
Federal safety standards, (ii) is officially considered to be a “low” level;
whereby (iii) only a small percentage of exposed individuals exhibit
symptoms of toxicity. In fact, children who develop Hg-related autism are
likely to have had a predisposition derived from genetic and non-genetic
factors.
Importantly, the timings of vaccinal Hg-exposure and its latency period
coincide with the emergence of autistic-symptoms in specific children.
Moreover, excessive mercury has been detected in urine, hair, and blood
samples from autistic children; and parental reports, though limited at
this date, indicate significant improvement in symptoms subsequent to
heavy-metal chelation therapy.
The HgP phenotype is diverse and depends upon a number of factors -
including type of Hg, route of entry into the body, rate and level of dose,
individual genotype, and the age and immune status of the patient.
Historically, variation among these factors has caused slightly different
manifestations of mercurialism; Mad Hatter’s disease, Minamata
disease, acrodynia, and industrial exposures provide examples.
The pathology arising from the mercury-related variables involved in
autism - intermittent bolus doses of ethylmercury injected into
susceptible infants and toddlers - is heretofore undescribed in medical
literature. Therefore, in accord with existing HgP data and HgP’s ability
to induce virtually all the traits defining or associated with autism
spectrum disorders, we hypothesize that many and perhaps most
cases of autism represent a unique form of mercury poisoning.
This conclusion and its supporting data have important implications for
the affected population of autistic individuals and their families, for other
unexplained disorders with symptoms similar to those of heavy metal
intoxication, for vaccine content, and for childhood vaccination programs.
Due to its high potential for neurotoxicity, thimerosal should be removed
immediately from all vaccine products designated for infants and
toddlers.

mercury to manufacture certain products, have increased the amount of

Excerpts from www.mercury-poison.com
Silver Fillings
A "silver filling" is a euphemism for an amalgam restoration, which a
dentist places in a patient's tooth after a cavity is created by drilling out
decay. Amalgam restorations consist of mercury, silver, tin, copper,
and a trace amount of zinc. The dental amalgam has two fundamental
flaws that adversely affect a patient's health. The first fundamental flaw
is that all amalgam metals are cations. The net result of the tendency
for covalent, ionic and metallic bonding and van der Waals forces
between amalgam cations is a weak repulsion. So there is a
sustained release of mercury and other metals from the amalgam into
the body. Researchers have measured a daily release of mercury on
the order of 10 micrograms from the amalgam into the body. Mercury
is a toxic metal; the most minute amount damages cells.
The second fundamental flaw is that there are five dissimilar metals in
the amalgam. Galvanic action between these metals in inevitable (the
dissimilar metals form a battery). Galvanism produces electricity that
flows through the body. The electric currents produced by the
amalgam typically are between 0.1 and 10 microamps, compared to
the body's natural electric current of 3 microamps.
The mercury challenges systemic functions of every individual and of
developing fetuses, so it can lead to health problems and fetal
malformations. Mercury leakage and its subsequent pathophysiologic
effects are most often slow, insidious processes. So health problems
caused by dental mercury poisoning are perceived many years after
the amalgams are placed.
Arthur Schopenhauer, 19th Century Philosopher ..."All truth passes
through three stages: first it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed,
and third it is accepted as self-evident."
