Mercury: The Poison That’s Right Under Our Nose

Mercury really is the poison that’s right under our nose – it’s everywhere and few are aware of its toxic properties. This dangerous combination leads to thousands of Americans unnecessarily exposing themselves and others to this poison. In addition, people usually throw away products containing mercury, which eventually finds its way into our air and water and leads to additional poisoning.

This website offers the tools necessary for you to reduce mercury poisoning in your state, including sample bills talking points, press clips, a fact pack, research, and other background information.
