Nyheter ifrån Nairobi!
TF är en del av World Alliance for Mercury-Free Dentistry som sänder ut följande meddelande ifrån INC3 i Nairobi vid vilken man vill komma fram till slutet för kvicksilveranvändningen och därmed amalgam!
“World Alliance for Mercury-Free Dentistry supported
development of a legally-binding instrument on mercury.
The World Dental Federation supported a phase-down
approach to the use of mercury in dental restoration. The
International Association for Dental Research highlighted a
WHO report concluding that existing alternatives to dental
amalgam are not ideal and called for further research.
The World Alliance for Mercury-Free Dentistry called for an
end to the ?amalgam era? of dentistry, saying that contrary to
WHO claims, economically viable alternatives for developing
countries are available.”
“Emphasizing that 70% of consumers do not know thatamalgam contains mercury, the World Alliance for Mercury-Free
Dentistry appealed for the instrument to prioritize information
exchange and public education on this issue. Zero Mercury
Working Group highlighted the need to involve civil society
organizations in information exchange and monitoring. The
International Association for Dental Research highlighted the
need for information on effective mercury-free alternatives and
called for further research in this area.”
