August 21, 2009 by USFWS
Scientists detected mercury contamination in every fish sampled in 291 streams across the country, according to a U.S. Geological Survey study. "This study shows just how widespread mercury pollution has become in our air, watersheds and many of our fish in freshwater streams," said Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. "This science sends a clear message that our country must continue to confront pollution, restore our nation's waterways and protect the public from potential health dangers."
