Commission calls on interested parties to submit scientific information on
mercury in dental amalgam
The Commission has
requested a scientific opinion from the Scientific Committee on Health and
Environmental Risks (SCHER) and the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly
Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) on possible risks associated with mercury in
dental amalgam and possible alternatives.
To ensure that the
two Committees elaborate their opinions on the basis of the most up to date scientific
information, the Commission has published today a call for scientific
information that will run until

The European
Commission uses expert advice on risk assessment from three non-food Scientific
Committees when preparing policies and proposals. These committees are made up
of external, independent scientists and provide authoritative scientific advice
in the fields of consumer safety, public health and the environment. The three
non-food Scientific Committees are - the Scientific Committee on Consumer
Products (SCCP), the Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks
(SCHER) and the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health
Risks (SCENIHR).
