Is this tested for mercury?
880487
That's a darn good question, and I don't know the answer to it. It would be a good thing to know considering high levels of mercury reported accumulating in some fish over the last several years. I would also like to know if mercury actually settles in the "oil" that is extracted for human consumption, or does it accumulate in other fish body structures and fluids, leaving the fish oil we humans use mercury free, or at least relatively mercury free. The manufacturer claims their oil comes from deep, clear, clean, cold contaminate free Norwegian fiords...or something like that....but I don't recall if they mentioned that they tested for mercury. I have read the box, and some on their website, in the past. I will check into their testing for mercury, and I would also like to know more about mercury contamination in fish-where it accumulates in fish, and where in the world geographically, it seems to be a bigger problem. Anyone, that has information on the above, please let me know. Thanks for your time.

I'm thinking they contain mercury. Here is a document I found online. http://www.zendergroup.org/docs/battery_household.pdf

I would recommend you write down your serial number then check online with Mercury web site and see what filter it requires.

Potassium Iodide 225 mcg 150% of daily. Other ingredients hypo-allergenic plant fiber, vegetable capsule. I see nothing about mercury or bromine. I did some research on this company and they seem to have the purest products on the market for the money. I got these as back-up for radiation poison.

Yes, Chickadee, the bulb contains Mercury I think. I said "I think" because the bulb should be disposed of in a special way, not just thrown in the trash. You can take it to almost any electronic store, and some hardware stores dispose of them for you. The bulb should last you for a long time though. Dee

You will need the EZ-4 replacement filter to remove mercury. The EZ-1 removes little more than visible floaties.

Hello Yuki,The Aquasana AQ-5300 filter system effectively removes mercury, lead, and asbestos. The company does not test for other heavy metals. The filters do not remove potassium, calcium, or magnesium. The system's carbon filter also removes many organic compounds, which are listed in their literature. Please see their web site for more details: http://www.aquasana.com/product_detail.php?product_id=51We like our filter, which we purchased to improve the flavor of our morning coffee. This system does not replace a water softener.Sincerely,Robert Ashton, MD, PhD Hello Yuki,The Aquasana AQ-5300 filter system effectively removes mercury, lead, and asbestos.

Yes, every single batch of our fish oil is inspected. Our fish oil is molecularly distilled, mercury free, PCB free, and tested for over 258 contaminants.

This product has been tested by an independent watchdog firm (labdoor dot com) and it has only trace amounts of mercury (1 PPB). All the products tested contained at least trace amounts of mercury.

I don't think so I just looked it up and it just says that it is free of potentially high levels of mercury but does not say mercury free. I do know the Natures Way brand are mercury free. Hope that helps.

Checked the ingredients on all my Boots No7 products and I do not see any mercury.

No. The packaging indicates that they contain both mercury and lead, and that they should not be disposed of with regular trash.

In fine print it states: It is tested to be free of harmful levels of contaminants (ie mercury, heavy metals, PCB's, dioxine and other contaminants).

All florescent bulbs contain mercury. They are all considered hazardous waste if broken, and should not be cleaned up with your bare hands.

I do not know if they contain Mercury, there is no Mercury listed on any of the packaging!! They are called "Zinc-Air Batteries" by the Manufacturer!!!

I contacted Optimox to inquire and was told that it does not contain mercury, and that they test the product for metals. If it is contaminated, it gets tossed. It is manufactured in California.
