From: migrant_health_research@yahoogroups.com [mailto:migrant_health_research@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Josh Shepherd Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 10:14 AM To: migrant_health_research@yahoogroups.com Subject: [migrant_health_research] Question
Hello Everyone,
I recent received the following request and I am hoping some of you may be able to point me in the right direction.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm looking for information about exposure to mercury among migrant populations in Oregon. Do you have any resources on this or have suggestions for where I might find information? I understand that some Latino populations have been known to use mercury for medicinal and religious purposes. Any help you could provide on this topic would be much appreciated. Thanks."
