We appreciate it very much that we're getting new rules that are more in the public interest! It's trending in the right direction and that's great. We'd like to get coal ash and coal plant pollution cleaned up right immediately, and put a complete stop to mountain top removal permanently. Thanks much!! Please continue all the good work!

They aren't safeguarding you from mercury in light bulbs or vaccines though....or even mercury fillings in you teeth. When the dentist removes a filing it's hazardous waste....but when it's in your mouth it isn't.

So much for the EPA.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_(element)#Fish

{{{Fish and shellfish have a natural tendency to concentrate mercury in their bodies, often in the form of methylmercury, a highly toxic organic compound of mercury. Species of fish that are high on the food chain, such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel, albacore tuna, and tilefish contain higher concentrations of mercury than others. As mercury and methylmercury are fat soluble, they primarily accumulate in the viscera, although they are also found throughout the muscle tissue. When this fish is consumed by a predator, the mercury level is accumulated. Since fish are less efficient at depurating than accumulating methylmercury, fish-tissue concentrations increase over time. Thus species that are high on the food chain amass body burdens of mercury that can be ten times higher than the species they consume. This process is called biomagnification. Mercury poisoning happened this way in Minamata, Japan, now called Minamata disease. As a result, those consuming high levels of fish should be aware of the symptoms of mercury poisoning.[89]}}}
