Mercury in Fish


I just saw an article on Mercury in FISH. I was wondering how mercury got into fish and its all from coal power plants and dumping into water. Here is some stats quote " An estimated two-thirds of human-generated mercury comes from stationary combustion, mostly of coal. Other important human-generated sources include gold production, non-ferrous metal production, cement,production, waste disposal,, crematoria, caustic soda production, pig iron and steel production, mercury production (mostly for batteries), and biomass burning. It basically comes down to pollution. The Western Hemisphere was the most beautiful place in the Universe and now Neanderthals are poisoning the water and fish. We need more scrubbers and better technology to take responsibility of every waste. Its interesting to note that Chief Martin had talked about how their Tribal Nation invented the scrubber to clean the environment while at a AISES conference.We need to live in a more cleaner world.
