Both organic and elemental mercury create a wide spectrum of ecological and human health concerns. Statewide advisories for mercury levels in fish exist in dozens of states across the United States. Mercury spills cost public and private entities millions of dollars a year in cleanup and health care costs. This course addresses concerns mercury causes by providing participants with a foundation in the science of environmental mercury and presents solutions for mitigating the impacts of this ubiquitous contaminant.
