		Mercury waste management has become more complex as more mercury is collected from a greater variety of sources, including gas filtering products, sludges from the chlor-alkali industry, ashes, slags, and inert mineral residues, as well as used fluorescent tubes, batteries and other products that are often not recycled.
		Mercury emissions due to trace contamination of raw materials or feedstocks such as in the cement, mining and metallurgical industries may be reduced by end-of-pipe controls, and sometimes by selecting a raw material or feedstock with lower trace contamination, if possible.
		Mercury emissions from dental amalgams during cremation may only be reduced by removing the amalgams before cremation, which is not a common practice, or by filtering the gaseous emissions when the practice takes place in a crematorium.

	Mercury Program
		Mercury Atlas 2 was a sub-orbital test vehicle that was launched to check the maximum heating and its effects during the worst reentry design conditions.
		Mercury Redstone 2 was the third attempted flight of the Mercury/Redstone launch configuration and the first to include a living organism, a 17 kg chimpanzee named Ham (in honor of Holloman Aerospace Medical Center).
		Mercury Redstone 3 was the first flight of an American rocket with a human on board, occurring twenty-three days after Yuri Gagarin's orbital flight of Vostok 1.

		Dental clinics remain largely unregulated for mercury disposal and extracted amalgam materials are often rinsed down the drain, usually to a municipal wastewater system (or septic system), deposited in biomedical waste containers destined for waste incineration, or placed in trash disposed in a municipal waste landfill or incinerator.
		Mercury is a persistent, bioaccumulative toxin that poses a risk to human health, wildlife and the environment.
		While mercury is a naturally occurring metallic element, numerous human activities- including the use of dental fillings-contribute 70 percent of emissions into the environment.

	National Mercury Curriculum
		Mercury may have been used historically in a school's laboratory, and the laboratory may still have containers of mercury or mercury compounds in storage.
		If mercury is used in experiments, often it is possible to use other chemicals to illustrate the same chemistry principles, or do microscale experiments to reduce the amount of materials necessary and reduce the need to have large quantities of mercury at the school.
		Mercury vapors are readily absorbed into the bloodstream from the lungs, and the human central nervous system, which is still developing during the first few years of life, may be damaged.

	Document 14.5 - Safe Handling of Mercury and Mercury Compounds
		Mercury is a liquid metal that is environmentally persistent and bioaccumulates in the food chain.
		Avoid using mercury or mercury compounds in operations that could generate mercury wastestreams contaminated with radionuclides since it is expensive or impossible to dispose of this type of mixed wastestream.
		Metal objects are weaker after contamination with mercury and may be unsuitable for further use; those soiled by spilled mercury often cannot be decontaminated and, therefore, may have to be disposed of as mercury waste (see Section 3.2.8).

	Mercury in Schools - U.S. EPA Region 8
		Mercury is a potent neurotoxin, meaning that it interferes with the way nerve cells function.
		Mercury has been found in Region 8 schools and programs are in place to minimize potential health impacts to schoolchildren.
		It is designed to help educate teachers and administrators about the different kinds of mercury spills that have occurred in schools and to encourage elimination of the use of mercury in schools, promote proper management and disposal of mercury and mercury containing products, and prevent mercury spills.

	Mercury : 8. Conclusions
		As part of the implementation of Governing Council decision 21/5, UNEP established a Working Group to assist it in preparing for the Governing Council’s discussions on the issue at its session in February 2003.
		While it was important to have a better understanding of the issue, the Working Group emphasized that it was not necessary to have full consensus or complete evidence in order to take action and therefore potentially significant global adverse impacts should also be addressed.
		The options include measures such as reducing or eliminating the production, consumption and releases of mercury, substituting other products and processes, launching negotiations for a legally-binding treaty, establishing a non-binding global programme of action, and strengthening cooperation amongst governments on information-sharing, risk communication, assessment and related activities.

	SPACE MEDICINE IN PROJECT MERCURY - Chapter 8
		The Wiesner report was also critical of the Atlas launch vehicle which was to orbit the Mercury astronaut in space, stating that it was "marginal." Indeed, it was concluded that because the U.S.S.R. possessed larger launch vehicles, the United States would not be the first to orbit a man in space.
		The assessment of the Mercury biomedical program which was to take place in March 1961 would be formalized in a report of the President in April.
		On April 12, she was one of the group from the Office of the Surgeon General, USAF, which was visiting Cape Canaveral for a Mercury briefing and a staff visit to Grand Bahama Island, where the prefabricated surgical hospital and debriefing unit had been recently built.

		Clear the Air is pressing the EPA to set tougher mercury emissions standards for coal-fired power plants than the current federal administration wants.
		EPA defended its findings, believing mercury to be a serious public health issue and that's why they are working with the FDA to provide warnings to consumers about fish consumption and mercury.
		Earlier this year, both agencies issued a joint warning that advised women in their child-bearing years and children not to eat shark, swordfish and king mackerel, fish known to have high levels of mercury.

	New Study Shows Impact of Mercury Pollution: $8.7 Billion Lost Annually Due to Poisoning in the Womb
		Mercury emitted from power plants is absorbed by fish and eaten by women is passed onto their children in utero.
		The EPA has identified coal-fired power plants as the largest industrial emitters of mercury, producing more than one third of all mercury pollution in the U.S. Coal-fired power plants emit thousands of pounds of toxic mercury into our nation's air every year-about 91,000 pounds in 2001-but they never have been regulated.
		By March 15, 2005, the EPA is required to issue mercury limits for power plants, but these rules are expected to delay significant mercury reductions for at least 13 years.
