Mercury

Mercury is a naturally occurring element found in the air, soil, and water. Human activity can also contribute to the amount of Mercury in the atmosphere. Inorganic mercury is converted into organic methylmercury by bacteria. Methylmercury is a more toxic form of mercury that is most often digested by humans through consumption of contaminated fish. Exposure to mercury can affect the human nervous system and harm the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs, and immune system. See the brochure below, and learn the facts to protect yourself!
