Survey Report: Mercury Vapor Levels in Dental Treatment Rooms.

Abstract

Three dental treatment rooms (DTRs) at Brooks AFB TX were surveyed for mercury vapor levels. These DTRs are being used by the Dental Investigation Service, USAFSAM/NGD, in a protocol to determine the relationship between the use of precapsulated dental amalgam, type of floor covering and mercury vapor levels. This preliminary survey shows mercury vapor levels in each room to be below the lowest detectable level (.001 mg/cu m). These results will serve as a baseline for the semiannual surveys to be taken over the next two years. (Author)
