I worked for Dartmouth College where Karen Wetterhahn was killed by mercury poisoning. I never received any industry recognized training in handling mercury systems and also ended up with nasty mercury poisoning.

While handling mercury systems in the employment of Columbia University and Dartmouth College, I have no recollection of receiving industry recognized health and safety training for the workplace hazards present.

It is probably a good thing that Karen Wetterhahn died from mercury poisoning, as if she had survived, she would have discovered the horrible Dartmouth College workers compensation experience for occupational disease.

In the space of less than a year, mercury poisoning took me from being sponsored for an exceptional ability green card by Dartmouth College to being shown the door.

Like Karen Wetterhahn, I was mercury poisoned in the employment of Dartmouth College. Unlike Karen Wetterhahn, I survived the extremely sickening mercury poisoning.

The Ivy League is developing a sad history of preventable mercury poisoned employees that has led to death in at least one case.
