Re: Mercury - not topic drift

Dave:
I think, actually, that it is NOT water vapor but I will explain my logic.
The video is shot in a room with somebody holding the tooth for study.
There is a hand holding a tool. Consider the volume of air in even a tiny room,
As the room contains a person, reason says there is air in there, too.

Consider now, even if the humidity were as low as 10 %, not likely so low,
but using that low a number, compare the ratio of this huge volume of air
with existing water vapor as compared to what could possibly come from the
tooth under study and still have such a strong darker signature on the screen,
while the rest of the screen remains lighted without such shadowing.

Then there is the distance from the UV light to the screen and the distance
from the UV light to the tooth, to the screen. The light has in general the same 
distance. Considering that the UV has to pass through water vapor in the air
of much greater volume than the tooth can contain at room pressure.

This shows me more reasons why it can not be water vapor. In a spark gap,
while we may see some metal vapors in shadow, I do not think the  UV
shows water vapor. Burning electrodes, yes, water vapor, no.

Actually, what you are probably seeing is water vapor and not Mercury.
(And yes, I know about the PDF file that touts the absorption spectrum
of water and claims that it is practically transparent at 254nm -- they
cherry picked the chart in that PDF.)

A properly made amalgam has no "free" Mercury. Another amalgam in common
use is Concrete.  One of the ingredients (slaked Lime) is horribly
caustic and will cause skin damage if not washed off completely.

People are using Concrete for kitchen countertops and eating off it.
Kids play on it outside.  You simply do not hear about skin irritation
with concrete. Concrete contains a toxic component but a properly made
amalgam will bind all ingredients together permanently.

Unfortunately, there is a very broad "grey zone" in health-care where
unsubstantiated claims can be made without fear of the FDA knocking on
your door.  The wonderful people at The International Academy of Oral
Medicine & Toxicology fit solidly into that grey zone.


We now return to the Topic...
