The Mercury2006 web site will remain active as we continue to share information about the conference. Check back periodically as we continue to post information on various aspects of the conference. You can now:

READ THE CONFERENCE DECLARATION  –  The major conclusions from the plenary panels are included in the Conference Declaration that addressed key, policy-relevant questions concerning four topics: atmospheric sources of mercury, methylmercury exposure and its effects on humans and wildlife, socioeconomic consequences of mercury use and pollution, and recovery of mercury-contaminated fisheries. The Declaration was unanimously endorsed by all the expert panelists, and strong overall agreement was expressed by the conferees who participated in the plenary assessment process. Also read the press release.
