Default Liberals "Just dump it in the ocean..." Mercury And PCB Levels Found In Californian Coastal Fish

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/226849.php

The presence of methylmercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in
Californian sport fish is widespread and a concern for human health, the
State Water Resources Control Board has announced. They specifically refer
to sport fish caught in urban coaster waters. 19% of the coastline was
found to have fish with levels of mercury much higher than the recommended
limits for women of childbearing age and children.

SWAMP (State Water Resources Control Board's Surface Water Ambient
Monitoring Program) has just released its findings on what it describes as
the largest statewide survey of contaminants in sports fish in coastal
waters ever made. They said that levels of PCBs and methylmercury in fish
is of great concern.

This report, part of a two-year survey, has details on the first year,
2009, and includes information for 42 locations, focusing on Los Angeles
and San Francisco.

California's greatest problem is the accumulation of methymercury. Of the
42 locations studied, 8 had at least one specimen with methylmercury
levels well above the OEHHA (Office of Environmental Health Hazard
Assessment) limit for women of childbearing age and children. Sharks were
the main fish to have excessive levels of mercury.

32 of the locations were found to have moderate levels of methylmercury
contamination.

Methylmercury has been linked to the nervous system developmental problems
in children and teenagers, the authors explained. Children with high
levels of mercury have a much higher risk of having learning disabilities.
This contamination in California probably comes from regional and global
emissions to the atmosphere, historic mining of gold, silver and mercury,
and industrial and urban wastewater and stormwater.

The PCB recommended threshold level for human consumption is zero. High
PCB levels were found in at least one specimen in 6 of the 42 locations.
The worst areas for PCB contamination were San Diego Bay and San Francisco
Bay.

31 of the 42 locations had moderate PCB contamination levels. Only five
areas were deemed as safe.

PCBs can damage the nerves, digestive tract and liver. They also raise the
risk of developing certain cancers. PCBs used to be used in industrial,
electrical and some other application - they are now banned.

Low levels of other contaminants were also found, including selenium,
chlordanes, DDT and dieldrin.

I guess you missed the part where Hussein wants to make an end run around
the constitution and use the EPA to gut the US economy.

Why do you hate America and the constitution?

Oh, that's right. Socialist, redistributist loser.

Soon we will have to wear masks to whisk away the awful pollutant CO2
from our breath.

I can't wait for them to end carbonated beverages such as Pepsi Cola,
Coca Cola, and especially Budweiser.

And fire extinguishers!!!

Can you imagine a device that's designed to put CO2 into the
environment as part of its proper operation???

Talk about a design flaw. No more fire extinguishers.
