The World
Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the
typical absorbed dose of mercury from amalgams is one to twenty - two micrograms per day, with most values in the range of one to five micrograms per day.16 Various factors, including gum chewing
and bruxism, can increase these exposures to an upper range of about one hundred micrograms per day.7 Preliminary evidence also suggests that certain types of electromagnetic radiation, including EMR from mobile phones
and from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may increase the release of mercury vapor from
dental amalgams.17
Some of the
typical benefit options school leavers
and graduates could be offered in their first year include private
health cover
and dental insurance, subsidised gym membership, bonuses
and relocation expense reimbursement.
