Florida Mercury Workshop

[Carol Meeds WPB 407-433-2650 x 113 <MEEDS_C@wpb1.dep.state.fl.us>]

    Hello Friends:
    
    Once again, Florida citizen activists have organized a Mercury 
    Conference for the purpose of educating citizens and health 
    professionals about the effects of Mercury in the Environment.  
    
    Many of you know my friend, Bonnie Barnes-Kelley from the Dioxin 
    and Environmental Health Conferences.  Please help her by 
    forwarding information about this conference to anyone who might 
    be interested and attend if you can.
