On Tap this month:
The cost of our everyday exposure to the most
lethal of metals
Graham George
Mercury is acknowledged to be the
most toxic non-radioactive metal, yet we
are exposed to it on a daily basis from a
number of sources. I plan to discuss how
a detailed understanding obtained using
synchrotron light has allowed us to
understand the risks of our daily
exposure to mercury
