Yes Dave, Here is another drift for the thread. Most mercury in US rivers comes from decaying amalgam fillings when folks brush their teeth... mercury is actually the most damaging metal with regard
Check with your local State EPA... that is where I heard it. I didn't say mercury in the environment I said water! Doesn't matter much anyway does it... no one is gong to fix it regardless of the rat
