Free Testing For Mercury

The EPA has released information about mercury levels in fish across the United States. As many as 1 in 6 women of childbearing age already has enough mercury in her body to put a baby at risk of developmental problems. The Sierra Club and Boom Swagger Salon,in Missoula, have teamed up to host a mercury hair-testing awareness event. Representative for the Sierra Club Bob Clark says if you are concerned that you might be at risk the answer is one hair clip away. 

Clark says by snipping a small bundle of hair and sending it for testing you will know exactly how much mercury is in your body and what you can do about it. The testing will take place on aril 6th from noon to 2:00 p.m, on a first serve basis for up to 40 tests.
