What does the Richardson study say about the contribution of dental amalgam to the human body burden of mercury?
The study is consistent with a number of other studies in suggesting that the contribution of dental amalgam to the human body burden is in the neighbourhood of three millionths of a gram per day. The Richardson analysis and review of scientific literature has gone a step further in attempting to estimate a total daily intake from all sources and to calculate a tolerable daily intake (TDI).
