| Abstract |
The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Emergency and Remedial Response (OERR) convened the Task Force on Ritualistic Uses of Mercury in January 1999 to recommend an appropriate course of action regarding the use of elemental mercury as part of certain spiritual practices and folk traditions. In forming the multi-agency task force, EPA hoped to gain a better understanding of these practices and traditions and their potential public health and environmental impacts. This report summarizes the Task Force activities, provides an overview of what is known about cultural and spiritual mercury use, and makes recommendations for further investigation, outreach, and action. |
