dental amalgam is composed of about 50% by liquid mercury which becomes better when mixed with other elements such as tin amalgam, silver, copper and zinc. Despite the reassurances about the safety of this material, it was proved that it releases mercury vapor when you chew or consume hot liquids.
The mercury content of amalgam fillings can be transformed into organic and inorganic forms of mercury and may always be absorbed into the body through breathing and saliva. Mercury vapor can reach the digestive tract, lungs, and then to the blood and can accumulate in various parts of the body (kidneys, liver, stomach, brain, bones, muscles, fatty tissues, prostate, testis, etc.)..
As the World Health Organization stated in its Policy Paper of 2005 on Mercury in the health field that the "Mercury is very toxic (...) and also can be fatal if inhaled or absorbed through skin;
Since about 80% of inhaled mercury vapor is absorbed into the bloodstream through the lungs and can cause harmful effects to the nervous system, digestive, respiratory, immune and kidney, as well as damage to the lungs
Since the adverse effects of mercury exposure can be: tremors, loss of sight , hearing, paralysis, insonnnia, emotional instability, developmental deficits during fetal gestation, attention deficit and developmental delays in childhood
Since recent studies suggest that mercury may not have limits security below which no adverse effects occur;
Given that in 1991 the World Health Organization Health has confirmed that the mercury content nell'amalgama is the main source of exposure to mercury in non-industrial, exposing the concerned population to mercury levels significantly exceeding those set for food and air;
Since the greatest risk occurs during the installation and removal of fillings;
Given that there are alternatives on the market containing less toxic, made of composite plastics without bisphenol A;
Since the Food and Drug Administration has accepted the risks of dental amalgam may lead to some people;
Since several studies suggest a correlation between exposure to dental amalgam and the beginning or aggravation of various diseases including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome , Fibromyalgia, Chronic Candidiasis Syndrome and other neurological diseases, immune, skin, allergy, mental, digestive, renal, ENT-laryngology, etc.
As the use of mercury in dental fillings is a preventable form of environmental pollution (pollution is through the human body fluids, through the cremation through the disposal of dental apparatus without separation, etc.).
Despite the lack of scientific consensus on the dangers of amalgam;
Under the precautionary principle invoked by the European Parliament September 4, 2008 with the interim evaluation of the European Action Plan for Environment and Health 2004-2010;
The petitioners demand that the use of dental amalgam is banned by law in Europe and which promotes the training of dental amalgam removal for proper protocol to quadruple protection (oxygen mask, disincastonamento drill low-speed, rubber dam, strong suction) and that imposing a strict law, the use of amalgam separators in dental practices.
All such request should be considered in light of the revision of the European Strategy on Mercury European Union that is in progress. We expect that the new European Strategy on Mercury European Union includes significant actions for the banning of dental amalgam fillings.
