To Reduce Mercury in Fish, Coal-Fired Power Plants Must Close or Clean Up

"We agree that mercury is a serious public health issue, and that's why we're working with the Food and Drug Administration to provide consumers with clear guidance about the benefits and risks of fish consumption. And more importantly, coal-fired power plants, which are the largest domestic source of mercury emissions, must be cleaned up." excerpt from Cathy Milbourn, an EPA spokeswoman; quote appeared in article at http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/news/state/040804mercury.shtml
