A Filipino congressman reveals some dentists are selling mercury to miners who use the chemical for gold processing.
In a statement, Cagayan de Oro 2nd District Rep. Rufus Rodriguez said
he filed House Resolution 1590 urging the House Committee on Health to
conduct an inquiry into this illegal practice of some dentists in the
country.
Rodriguez said Filipino dentists who are still allowed to use mercury
as dental amalgam in their profession are selling mercury to miners for
P18,000 to P30,000 per kilo.
