Facts and figures about mercury:

• Mercury is the most toxic non-radioactive metal in the world.
• A large posterior filling can have up to 0.5g of mercury in the mixture
• 0.5g of mercury in a 10 acre lake would result in an advisory warning not to eat fish from that lake due to the levels of mercury.
• According to the World Health Organisation (WHO 1991, advisory paper), the exposure to mercury from dental fillings is greater than all other sources combined (including eating fish).
• Mercury is transported via the trigeminal nerve through the blood brain barrier to the brain.
• Mercury targets tissue of high metabolic rate such as the Heart, Lungs, Kidney, Liver and Brain.
