The
report about heath / safety (SCENIHR) haw been worked out by an engineer
(chairman),
4 dentists, a Chemists / toxicolog and 2 veterinarians (a Danish
Veterinarian
Ole Ladefoged (My remark: Ole Ladefoged has not an remarkable
knowledge
about Heavy Metals. I have had been in a contact with him by phone
once.)
There is not just one doctor (in the expert-group) or one with
special
knowledge of Mercury. Prof. Williams as
(strong) contacts to the
industry.
See

A
few months back the EU issued the SCENIHR-report on dental amalgam
http://ec.europa.eu/health/ph_risk/committees/04_scenihr/docs/scenihr_o_016.pdf
I believe this made the head-lines in the
US also.
Earlier I have told you that I found a CV for the chairman Prof. David F.
Williams. It showed considerable industrial contacts.
He has now written an article on lessons learned from the work on dental
amalgam, http://www.devicelink.com/mdt/archive/08/09/003.html
In the presentation of Prof. Williams to the right i
interesting. It says that he is "Managing Partner of Morgan &
Masterson LLC"
I almost fell off the chair when I found out what they are working with! The
dental industry must have been overexcited with joy when they found out who
was going to chair the SCENIHR-committee. Prof. Williams firm is working
with:
"Opinions on critical scientific issues that underpin corporate policy
Expert testimony in product liability and patent litigation
Due diligence and assessment of commercial strategy
Guidance on scientific strategy for regulatory submissions
Advice on major crisis management
Representation of corporate interests
Staging of international industry/scientific fora
Independent advice as non-executive Director or member of Scientific
Advisory Boards
Information retrieval service"
