What is the origin of mercury pollution?
Natural sources of mercury include volcanic eruptions and emissions from the ocean. Anthropogenic (human-caused) emissions include mercury that is released from fuels or raw materials, or from uses in products or industrial processes. Some of the mercury circulating through today's environment was released years ago.
What is the introduction of mercury pollution?
Several kinds of human activities release mercury into the environment. Mercury is present in fossil fuels, metal ores, and other minerals. When coal is burned, much of its mercury content enters the environment. Mining and refining metal ores and the manufacture of cement also release mercury into the environment.
How does most mercury pollution first enter the environment?
Sources of Mercury
Alkali and metal processing, incineration of coal, and medical and other waste, and mining of gold and mercury contribute greatly to mercury concentrations in some areas, but atmospheric deposition is the dominant source of mercury over most of the landscape.
Minamata disease is a methylmercury poisoning with neurological symptoms and caused by the daily consump- tion of large quantities of fish and shellfish that were heavily contaminated with the toxic chemical generated in chemical factories and then discharged into the sea.
