Here are useful forms and resources for all dental offices that must comply with the permit requirements:

• March 2008 Amalgam Separator List
  As part of its mercury source control effort, the City of San Francisco has maintained a list of pre-apporved dental office pretreatment units.  These units, know as amalgam separators, had each passed an internationally-accepted laboratory performance standard (ISO-11143).

Although San Francisco dental offices have all installed amalgam separators, many other agencies in the Bay continue to need a list of these units. Therefore, BACWA has taken on the role of maintaining this list.

• Several ADA articles on amalgam separators (located under the Special Reports heading) address issues such as laboratory evaluations of separators, and purchasing, installing and operating separators.
  
  
• Amalgam Separator Installation Report Form
  This form must be submitted to the City and County, along with the documentation indicated on the form, in order to verify that an office has installed a separator.
