Clearly unbiased info from the ACS...

...

Feel free to note the epa's distribution of warnings and compare that to the USGS survey of airborne methyl mercury...

Also note the last paragraph...

That research is on tuna in hawaii...Hrrrrm vulcanism is the primary volatilizer of mercury in nature...

I'm not saying it's true or not... I just remember reading it last year and posted it.

Yerp the research is accurate...but look at

1) Isolation of hawaii from coal-fired energy sources

2) The comparative volumes of water the methylmercury bearing bacteria are dispersed in...

Sure methylmercury occurs in nature...but typically not in the concentrations we are seeing except in areas of strong vulcanism...
