YOur assuming its trace amounts, but published papers already show
that is not the case. Your false assumption drives your conclusion.

Amalgam is already on average the largest source of elemental
Hg, not counting corrosion. This was recently published in the NEJM.
Your lack of research in the area shows. Furthermore, now we are
getting in the realm of solid state a far , cry from circuit theory.
It's actually very clear that amalgam is not a stable substance at all,
nor is it even well understood. When you can set an upper limit on
amalgam corrosion under all conditions or even write an equation for
basic processes like Hg vapor emission or spontaneous surface Hg
droplet formation on the newer high copper fillings or even
characterise the internal phase changes in amalgam over a long period
of time let me know.

Until then I would "can" the uniformed ADA tuna analogies.
