Bill 1011/2023, which establishes a National Policy for the Prevention of Exposure to Mercury, prepared by the team at the UFPA Pharmacology Laboratory in partnership with the Human Rights Clinics at UFPA, UFOPA, UEA and UNIFAP, received the sponsorship of Senator Randolfe Rodrigues on March 7, 2023 and was filed with the Senate.

This is an initiative that aims to establish the monitoring of mercury levels as a form of prevention before a diagnosis of mercury poisoning is made (as is already done in a similar way, for example, to prevent diabetes through routine blood glucose measurement). Another important difference is that it will allow existing data from Universities and Educational/Research Institutions to gain visibility and be used by public policy managers.

Come and be part of history by voting YES in the Senate's public consultation:
