North Bay Mercury Pollution Prevention Outreach Materials

The Mercury Pollution Prevention Program is an ongoing program focusing on the development of outreach materials and implementing strategies intended to minimize release of mercury into San Francisco and San Pablo bays from different sources:

Dental Offices - NBWA worked with
the Marin County Dental Society and Redwood Empire Dental society to develop a “Set a Shining Example” flyer for the North Bay region. The flyer has been distributed to dentists in the North Bay region with a survey.

Fluorescent Lamps - While mercury lamps save energy, they contain mer-
cury and therefore must be disposed of properly. NBWA member agencies have developed a residential mercury lamp flyer and a mercury lamp recycling sticker for small business with information about proper fluorescent
lamp disposal and recycling practices.
