Mercury in the Environment
Mercury is a highly toxic element that is found both naturally and as an introduced contaminant in the environment. Although its potential for toxicity in highly contaminated areas such as Minamata Bay Japan in the 1950 s and 1960 s is well documented research has shown that mercury can be a threat to the health of people and wildlife in many environments that are not obviously polluted.
