Reducing Ocean Mercury Levels Requires Reducing Atmospheric Mercury Emissions
- This unprecedented USGS study is critically important to the health and safety of the American people and our wildlife because it helps us understand the relationship between atmospheric emissions of mercury and concentrations of mercury in marine fish, said Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. We have always known that mercury can pose a risk, now we need to reduce the mercury emissions so that we can reduce the ocean mercury levels. - excerpt from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's email newsletter Water News from May 1, 2009.
