U.S. Mercury Demand • Between 1980 and 2001, annual mercury use in the U.S. decreased from 2,225 to 271 metric tons. More recently, the <strong>US</strong> is estimated to consume 100 metric tons per year. • Reductions largely due to: – Limits on mercury use in batteries. – EPA cancellation of pesticide registrations for the use of mercury in paint. – Closure or conversion of mercury cell chlor-alkali production facilities. – Reductions in multiple products. 3
