Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 This was posted on another group I belong to. They need about 2,000 more samples for this huge study. Unfortunately, it is not free, but it is for a very good cause. (No personal vested interest.)

How many fetuses are at risk of poisoning? We don't know exactly who might have weakened defenses against the harmful effects of mercury, but we can do something to protect ourselves and our children: get tested for mercury exposure. >Get tested here: ><http://www.care2.com/go/z/25407>http://www.care2.com/go/z/25407 > >We're working with Greenpeace so you can take send in a small sample of your hair and receive confidential information about your own mercury exposure and how to reduce your mercury levels. And, as part of the largest national study of mercury exposure, your participation will help fight mercury pollution nationwide. Publication of the results will be a wakeup call to the public and help to hold governments accountable.
