Add new law requiring dentists to control mercury waste from dental fillings
In Plain English
Dental amalgam fillings contain mercury that can pollute water when improperly disposed. The new law requires dental offices to install special equipment to capture mercury before it enters the sewer system. This protects local water quality and helps the city comply with federal environmental regulations.
