Mercury in Amalgam Fillings Amalgam is the name of the material that dentists use to place a “silver” filling in a tooth. It is composed of approximately 57-46% powder containing silver, tin, and copper and sometimes zinc, palladium, or indium in smaller quantities. This alloy powder is dissolved in approximately 43-54% elemental liquid mercury (United States 1993). Amalgam has been used in the field of dentistry for over 100 years (in varying concentrations). There are approximately 22 million amalgam fillings placed in the teeth of the English and the Welsh per year. In the United States, there are more than 160 million amalgams placed per year. It is used in about 75% of all fillings in these countries (Eley 2001). Amalgam is a self-hardening mixture that once set, must be removed by a high-speed drill. Today, it is mainly used in posterior teeth, usually on occlusal surfaces, as an economical, long-lasting, and durable alternative to tooth-colored filling materials such as composites and porcelain. Amalgam undergoes an initial degradation to form an oxide layer that seals the tooth-restoration interface and prevents bacterial leakage that could infect the pulp of the tooth and lead to its extraction (United States 1993).

Division of Toxicology Medical Management Guidelines (MMGs) for Mercury (Hg) CAS# UN# 2024 (liquid compounds) Synonyms include colloidal mercury, quicksilver, liquid silver, metallic mercury, and hydrargyrum. Persons exposed to elemental mercury vapor do not pose a significant risk of secondary contamination to response personnel outside the Hot Zone. Persons whose skin or clothing is contaminated with liquid mercury can contaminate response personnel by direct contact or off-gassing vapor and can also contaminate equipment leading to a risk of chronic exposure for response personnel. Elemental mercury is a heavy, shiny, silver-white, odorless liquid. It is nonflammable, but releases toxic vapor, especially when heated. Odor does not provide any warning of hazardous concentrations.

How Mercury Slid by the E.P.A. From The Nation - America's Longest Running Weekly Magazine. How Mercury Slid by the E.P.A. by Holloway, Marguerite Open the article in The Nation Digital Archive Abstract: Last summer a Detroit-area family painted the interior of their home. Ten days later, their 4-year-old son became irritable and shunned light. He suffered uncontrollable tremors, he lost his ability to walk, his fingers and toes turned pink and his skin sloughed off. The boy was diagnosed as having mercury poisoning, also called acrodynia or pink disease. The Michigan Department of Public Health traced the mercury to a house paint called Ultra Latex, produced by the aptly named Mercury Paint Co. of Detroit. The family has filed suit against the company.
