Clancy, the mercury-detecting dog, wants everyone to "keep their paws
off mercury!"

 Clancy, who was trained to sniff out mercury in schools
and other buildings, teamed up with the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to help teach kids
about mercury's harmful effects.

EPA recently distributed the video, which shows kids what to do if there
is a mercury spill, to more than 17,000 public school district across
the country. Schools can just pop in the DVD, teach from the information
on the inside cover, and follow the safety tips included in the video.
The information will help keep school staff, students, and the
environment safer from mercury spills.

For more information on mercury and to order additional copies of the
video, please visit <<br> http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer /hazwaste/mercury/videos.htm>. EPA also
developed a Keep Your Paws Off Mercury poster, which can also be
downloaded and ordered from the same site.
