Scientists issue warning over global mercury contamination of fish: NewsTarget.com

An international group of scientists has released the Madison Declaration on Mercury Pollution, warning that mercury exposure is now a public health problem in almost every part of the world and that the problem of mercury pollution is only getting more severe.

The Madison Declaration presents 33 key findings of four panels of mercury experts from the past year. The declaration has been endorsed by more than 1,000 scientists. One of the most important findings was that three times more mercury is falling from the sky today than 200 years ago, before the Industrial Revolution. The primary source of this mercury is coal burning and solid waste incineration.
