Read about our Mercury Reduction efforts
In the US, the EPA estimates that up to six hundred thousand
(600,000) newborns each year are born with excessive mercury levels in their
bodies – at
risk for learning disabilities, as well as neurological and physical problems.
Everything possible must be done to reduce mercury emissions from Coal-Fired Power Plants, Chlorine Plants that utilize Mercury, all other sources of Mercury contamination, including that from other countries by legislation,regulation, incentives, negotiation or treaty.
