[QUOTE="Gregyem, post: 657803, member: 23249"] Okay thanks Goldierocks, point taken, no more catch and release. But removing tiny amounts of amalgam some possibly with methylated molecules and taking back home kinda sounds risky. I assume methyl mercury was the Minimata culprit in Japan. Don't really want to put myself or my family at risk and there is the question of safe disposal. This mercury business reminds me of a time on the coast when on a lovely rock platform I came across a high school teacher with his students measuring pH, DO and temperature of the tidal pools. Teenagers with inadequate WHS and big mercury thermometers in Rocky environments is not a good mix. Mercury contaminated rock pools all over the place!!! [/QUOTE]
