Coal-burning electric generation, etc ---> mercury!

Depending on many factors including combination with oral and gut bacteria many people get much more exposure than that by many factors. But for arguments sake use that as an average. That is a lot of mercury! multiply that by 360 days per year times 30 years, keeping in mind that half a gram of mercury can contaminate a lake. What right does the ADA have to expose a kid to that without telling them?
Well, this will have to wind down the posting, I can't argue with this group forever, however i do have one actual question which is:
I noticed on my old x-ray that many of my previous fillings was really jagged on all surfaces including the surface inside the tooth. What would cause this, poor workmanship? x-ray was 90 degrees to the fillings, bitewing I think. Most fillings I see on the net have a few edges and some ripples but are much smoother. Why are some fillings smoother than others? Could extreme jaggedness be an indication of good workmanship???
