Demystify: 

Certainly do remember it.  I wrote a couple articles myself at the time, And I was impressed that Ed Movitz got that OSHA citation so fast.  Nice work.

Jillian,

In addition to Edward Movitz' attachment, I'm sure you are aware the C&EN had published two articles about Karen Wetterhahn as reference in Wikipedia:


In the meantime and although it did not relate to (CH3)2Hg but rather just Hg, I was tangentially involved with the Pymm Thermometer Company and OSHA back in 1981 in New York City.  There is still plenty of documentation in the literature on it.  I'm sure that Monona Rossol surely remembers this case too!

Good Luck!

All My Best,
