Yes, they're a mercury/silver/tin/copper/zinc amalgam. There's been
a "scare" about it for years.

There was a Dispatches, or Horizon, or similar on this probably
some 15 or more years ago. My recollection is that mercury
release to the environment from crematoria chimneys is actually
quite significant, at around 3g per person.

That's why the flue is fitted with an expensive "scrubber" (ooh-er!).

Apart from in Britain, of course...

So there are no strictures? Emission of mercury vapour (etc.)
is legitimate? *I think not*.
