The dental facility has a unique discharge issue; mercury.  The discharge of mercury into the environment for a dental facility is twofold. Mercury amalgam is the primary source of both solid and vapor mercury in the dental office.  Mercury vapor can be controlled by assuring the amalgam is properly stored and disposed.  Mercury solid from the removal or placement of amalgam is controlled in the office by the vacuum and proper operation of the system.  However, the solids that are and trapped by a filter trap or amalgam separator create an environmental hazard in the waste water system.  The amalgam slowly dissolves in water creating a dissolved mercury that is far more hazardous and difficult to remove than the solid amalgam. An audit of a dental office and resolution of the mercury discharge issue is critical.  Pending US EPA regulations regarding separators and dental office discharges will create some issues and myths that will confuse the implementation process.  Packs Solutions is the leading expert in mercury and mercury issues.  We are ahead of all suppliers and service companies in the field regarding the regulation and the best practices available to reduce the dental office discharge into the environment.  Our studies on effective mercury reduction are above anyone in the industry.
