Check with your local State EPA... that is where I heard it. I didn't say
mercury in the environment I said water! Doesn't matter much anyway does
it... no one is gong to fix it regardless of the rating.

Subject: [TowerTalk] mercury in waterways
The statement that most mercury found in the environment is the result of
people brushing teeth is not correct according to my research. Rather it is
the product of fallout from the air, especially from coal burning power
plants according to the USGS and EPA. This is somewhat off topic for this
reflector but a popular misconception.

Not an environmental expert and I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn Express
either.
