[sSRI-Research] " Protect our Kids from Mercury "

 

[-- What a good idea to put mercury in vaccines and our teeth! It's costing me a

small fortune - or rather... a fortune... to have the mercury removed from my

mouth... Didn't I pay to have it put in too???? ]

 

 

Protect our Kids from Mercury

 

Dear friend,

 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 4.9 million women

of childbearing age in the U.S. -- that's 8 percent -- have mercury levels in

their blood that are unsafe. Exposure to unsafe levels of mercury can cause

damage to a child's brain, delaying walking and talking, and even lowering a

child's intelligence. The biggest source of mercury pollution in the U.S. is

emissions from power plants.

 

Will you join me in helping prevent mercury pollution? The EPA is now accepting

public comments on mercury controls, at:

The EPA is trying to back away from strict safeguards against mercury pollution

from power plants, despite the advice of its own experts and advisory panels. In

December, the EPA announced a mercury plan that will expose our children to far

more mercury, for far longer, than what the agency has said is achievable and

cost-effective.

 

This should trouble all of us. The EPA's job should be to protect kids and the

rest of us from dangerous pollution.

 

Please join me in speaking up on this. You can send the EPA your comments here:

Thanks.
