the omnipresent mercury

Environmental poisons never follow rules. When the world thinks it has discovered everything it takes to control them, they come back to attack. When we remove lead from gasoline, it reappears in aging pipelines. When toxins and waste are buried in landfills, they contaminate the water table. But at least we thought we knew mercury well. For all its toxic power, as long as we avoided certain species of fish where the level of contamination is particularly high, we would be fine. […].

But mercury is famous for its ability to go unnoticed. A number of recent studies suggest that the potentially deadly metal is everywhere — and more dangerous than most people believe.
