Humans are exposed to mercury primarily through consumption of fish that contain high levels of mercury from deposition of atmospheric mercury released by power plants.
Entitled Mercury in Perspective: Fact and Fiction About the Debate Over Mercury, the paper outlines federally and privately sponsored research, highlighting their findings that U.S. power plants account for less than 1% of global mercury emissions, and that no direct connection has been proven between U.S. power plant emissions and mercury accumulation in fish.
The report primarily aims to correct the public perception that mercury is an increasing threat, emphasizing that mercury emissions in the U.S. have declined since 1990 due to strict regulations of waste combusters and mining operations, deeming controls on coal-fired power plants less necessary.
