Minamata Convention COP-6 agrees to end the use of dental amalgam by 2034, marking a historic milestone in reducing mercury pollution.

UNEP Minamata Convention on Mercury | November 07, 2025

The sixth Conference of the Parties (COP-6) to the Minamata Convention on Mercury, held in Geneva in November 2025, resulted in a landmark agreement to phase out dental amalgam by 2034. The meeting brought together over 1,000 participants and adopted 22 decisions aimed at reducing global mercury use and emissions.  

This decision reflects a broader global shift away from mercury-dependent systems in both healthcare and industrial applications. Mercury exposure remains a persistent risk due to its toxicity, bioaccumulation, and long-term environmental impact.  

Despite international agreements, mercury use remains prevalent in artisanal mining regions, particularly where illegal gold mining continues and enforcement is limited →

System Context

This article is part of the Botanical Systems Formulations™ research series developed by Bruce A. Cosgrove →

Rather than examining individual foods or botanicals in isolation, this framework explores how multiple plant-derived compounds interact through biochemical synergy, bioavailability, and delivery principles to support healthy aging, metabolic resilience, gut function, cardiovascular health, and inflammation modulation.

Each article examines one component of these integrated systems while contributing to a broader evidence-based approach to Applied Botanical Chemistry.
