SMM HomeKeep Your Paws Off Mercury
Clancy the Mercury Detecting Dog, EPA, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency teamed up to create the Keep Your Paws Off Mercury campaign to teach students across the country about mercury and its dangers. The cornerstone of the Keep Your Paws Off Mercury campaign is an educational video that shows students where mercury can be found in schools and what to do if they see it. We have presented the video in two different formats:
NOTE: Download times for the videos may vary depending on the speed of your Web connection and other factors.
- WMV - clips play on the Windows Media Player, which is built into Windows – no plug-in needed.
- MOV - clips play on the QuickTime Player and require you to have the QuickTime Player
plug-in.
Poster of Clancy, the Mercury Detecting Dog - Keep Your Paws Off Mercury (PDF) (1 pg, 455K, About PDF) - will print out on 8 1/2" x 11" size paper
You can order copies of the video and/or poster free of charge from the National Service Center for Environmental Publications (NSCEP).
