One other quick note. I just noticed the date on the sheet. It was printed in 2006. That was around the time that the ROHS (Restrictions on Hazardous Substances) regulations went into effect in Europe. This EU directive banned the use of certain materials used in manufacturing, especially electronics. ROHS banned the use of lead and cadmium.

Certain industries, such as medical, military, aerospace, and certain industrial applications were exempted. Otherwise, lead and cadmium were banned for general and consumer use. It was actually targeted toward consumer electronics such as TVs, VCRs, DVDs, and cell phones which were filling up the landfills and leaching into the groundwater.

It looks like this item was caught up in this somehow.

"... It was actually targeted toward consumer electronics such as TVs, VCRs, DVDs, and cell phones which were filling up the landfills and leaching into the groundwater..." I concur with what Red6 said...

Rather than posts the famous image of a poisoned child from toxic dumping of methylmercury into Kumamoto Prefecture Minamata Bay and Shiranui Sea in Japan by chemical company Chisso Corp. I will simply state what those in denial may not want to here.

From the EPA "Highest allowable average mercury concentration in fish per serving when eating 1 serving per week = 0.46 µg/g. Any fish with an average mercury concentration greater than 0.23 µg/g up to 0.46 µg/g was placed in the “good choices – eat 1 serving a week” category."

methylmercury is an increasing and ever present concern.
btw, mercury is readily converted to methylmercury by microbes

That said it appears to me that UHH may be overrun with aging males who seem to have little concern for women of childbearing age. Some of the insensitive post in this thread tend to corroborate this inference...

I for one applaud the mission of those charged with the responsibility of protecting those who may be in harms way owing to corporate obsession to generate maximum revenue without meaningful regard for the consequences of same.

Be wise, even tho you like to crunch things, this filter is not a good choice... stick to potato chips [air baked low salt of course]

Thomas902 knows his stuff... the fish contaminated with MM were disastrous. Old story ... Alice in Wonderland guess what happened to make the Mad Hatter .. crazy ...

Mad hatter’s disease is caused by chronic mercury poisoning. It is characterized by emotional, mental, and behavioral changes, among other symptoms. A doctor may describe the neurological changes as erethism or mercurial erethism. In this article, we explore the causes, symptoms, and treatments of mercury poisoning. We also briefly look into the history of the saying “mad as a hatter.”

Daguerreotype ... First commercially successful photographic process, invented by L. Daguerre in 1839: a silver-plated copper sheet is treated to make light-sensitive, exposed in a camera, developed with mercury vapor, treated to remove light-sensitivity, gilt, sealed.
