KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Amalgam separators offer an economical means to capture amalgam. They are an easy solution to capture mercury, where it is concentrated and where it can then be recycled.
• Many municipalities and states have implemented guidelines on the cleaning of vacuum lines with an appropriate cleaner after every patient.
• Gaining fast access to your records will go a long way to preventing fines and potential closure simply by staying organized.

By separating amalgam out before it reaches POTWs, dentists can greatly reduce the negative impact potential on our health and the environment. In order to remain compliant with the EPA rule, dental practices must not only install the appropriate equipment, but they must also perform maintenance and document their efforts accordingly.

This eBook explains what to do and where to go for updated information.
