People do not realize how much land filled batteries leach mercury into the soil. People do not understand how mining operations use and waste mercury. The presence of mercury in all fresh water fish exceeds the EPA safety ratings which means it was at a poisonous level a long time ago because EPA standards are so loosely written.

Batteries leach mercury into our water and oceans. I wonder if people realize how much.

Thankyou Tom, well every raindrop consists of mercury and as it floats in the ocean it turns into a higher toxin called methylmercury, and has caused damage to people of the Faroese Islands and Minamata Bay in Japan, this sickness from eating contaminate whale meat is called Minamata disease...plus mercury, PCB's, and dioxins also pour into the oceans making the fish highly toxic, yet the Japanese government in their blind wisdom are promoting whalemeat as a health food, selling it in restaurants and schools, and on the other hand they advertise warnings on supermarket canned whalemeat advising pregnant women not to ingest it, also in Iceland...HUH???

This was around way back in the late 1950's, but I am sure it is nothing like it is now...

Truly this comes as NO surprise to me, with all of the dumping in the streams, lakes, rivers, everything is becoming so toxic.

Wasn't it just a couple of years ago that all the Carp died at the Salton Sea, don't know what that was from. This Mercury is so dangerous to pregnant women, children especially, we are truly killing Mankind in addition to all of the fish, land etc.

Thanks Tom

One of the largest sources of mercury is from burning coal for power.. When we do not use green power, and just buy electricity from our power suppliers, we are poisoning the planet, slowly but surely..

CO2 coming out of the stacks and acid byproducts also poison not only the air but the soil and oceans... All carbon fuels have this effect, so the sooner we switch to hydrogen, solar or wind, the better, as it is all slowly but surely killing us and future generations.
