Guest guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 I was so intrested in finding answers I was researching this morning. Mercury is no longer used in the production of felt, It seems to be government regulated now because felt hat makers were getting very sick.. This was an older practiced used in making hats. It is however still used in a ton of stuff, very intresting. USES a.. Barometers b.. Catalysts And Pigments c.. Cells for Caustic Soda and Chlorine Production d.. Dental Amalgams e.. Electrical Instruments f.. Fungicides/Preservatives (most uses now banned) g.. Investment Casting h.. Laboratory Reagent i.. Manometers j.. Medicines k.. Mercury Vapor Lamps l.. Metal Plating m.. Photography n.. Synthetic Silk o.. Solder p.. Tanning and Dyeing q.. Textile Production r.. Thermometers s.. Use In Boilers/Turbines For Electricity Generation HISTORICAL USES a.. Felt Hat Manufacturing b.. Paints c.. Pesticides I find this entire thing really intresting. I always knew about the Mercury in vaccines and questioned that but it looks as if we are exposed with many products. I'm just glad to know it's not the toys my kids are playing with. Does anyone have links related to Autism that I can look at? Thanks --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
