CARL W. SVARE 1, CLYDE W. FRANK 1, and KAI CHIU CHAN 1

The rate of mercury vapor emission from setting dental amalgam was measured by use of an ultraviolet light absorption technique under nondiffusion-controlled conditions. An average of 0.3 x 10-6 gm mercury per square centimeter was emitted at the experimental temperature. At 37°C, this amount was estimated to be 1.2 x 10-6 gm/cm2.
