WASHINGTON – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today announced it intends to propose a rule to reduce mercury waste from dental offices. Dental amalgams, or fillings containing mercury, account for 3.7 tons of mercury discharged from dental offices each year. The mercury waste results when old mercury fillings are replaced with new ones. The mercury in dental fillings is flushed into chair-side drains and enters the wastewater systems, making its way into the environment through discharges to rivers and lakes, incineration or land application of sewage sludge. Mercury released through amalgam discharges can be easily managed and prevented.
EPA expects to propose a rule next year and finalize it in 2012. Dental offices will be able to use existing technology to meet the proposed requirements. Amalgam separators can separate out 95 percent of the mercury normally discharged to the local waste treatment plant. The separator captures the mercury, which is then recycled and reused.
Until the rule is final, EPA encourages dental offices to voluntarily install amalgam separators. Twelve states and several municipalities already require the installation of amalgam separators in dental offices.
Approximately 50 percent of mercury entering local waste treatment plants comes from dental amalgam waste. Once deposited, certain microorganisms can change elemental mercury into methylmercury, a highly toxic form that builds up in fish, shellfish and animals that eat fish.
Fish and shellfish are the main sources of methylmercury exposure to humans. Methylmercury can damage children’s developing brains and nervous systems even before they are born.

Tea Party Patriots (OH) issue statement on ODP Chairman Chris Redfern
From the Tea Party Patriots (OH) --
For Immediate Release
September 25, 2010
This is in response to Ohio Democrat Party Chairman Chris Redfern’s uncomplimentary description of the Tea Party movement in Ohio (Click for Video) and Governor Strickland’s recent Howard Dean-like anti-Tea Party tirade (Click for Video).
First, we would like to thank them both for acknowledging the hard work of the Tea Party movement in educating Ohio voters on the failed policies of the Strickland Administration, and of Redfern's reign as Chairman of the Ohio Democrat Party. In describing the Tea Party movement in Ohio as, “F***ers,” the ODP Chairman has publicly called what many state party chairmen, Democrat & Republican alike, have been whispering under their breath about the Tea Party movement for over a year now.
While we do not agree with ODP Chairman Redfern's locker room behavior and potty-mouthed insults, we understand his frustration with the Tea Party as he tries in a fairy tale-like manner to spin "straw," i.e., four years of failed policies, into "gold." He has nothing to spin but wet straw from a state budget deficit of $8 billion, one of the least business-friendly states in the U.S., an unemployment rate of 10.1% , and job losses reaching over 380,000. Furthermore, over 75% of Ohioans think that Strickland's top priority, fixing school funding, has likewise been a failure.
Chairman Redfern's frustration ultimately comes from a more informed electorate, thanks to the Tea Party Patriots movement in Ohio. He reinforced that fact when he responded to calls for apologies from around the state. Rather than apologize for his outburst, he did what those with nothing but a record of failures do – he became even more juvenile in his response by issuing a fund raising letter with the following:
Unlike some calling for discussions or requesting an apology from ODP Chairman Redfern for his remarks, the Tea Party Patriot groups in Ohio feel there is nothing to discuss and we will speak loudly with our actions on November 2nd. As for requesting an apology – we figure he owes that to the residents of Ohio.
Thank You,

Ohio ILLEGAL immigration watchdog group awards Ohio Rep. Courtney Combs
From Grassroots Rally Team --
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Several Founding Members of The Grassroots Rally Team of Ohio, which has been actively combating ILLEGAL immigration in Ohio (www.grassrootsrallyteam.org) since May 2007, traveled to Columbus on Sept 22 to present the first Award of Appreciation from the Rally Team to Ohio State Representative Courtney Combs (R-Oh 54 district, Butler County) for his sponsoring legislation in Ohio that would protect Ohioans from the adverse effects of ILLEGAL immigration.
Of particular note is Ohio HB 184 which Representative Combs sponsored in May of 2009 and would require all Ohio employers to use the E-Verify system to check the legal status of employees. The bill has not moved out of committee since that time, and will expire at the end of this 128th Ohio General Assembly. Representative Combs told the Rally Team that he would be reintroducing this bill in January 2011.
Representative Combs also told the 6 assembled Rally Team members (Below) that he continues to work on legislation for Ohio which will be comparable to the Arizona SB 1070 bill.
