What happens to mercury and other heavy metals that would reach nutrient farms?

0

The primary source of mercury in our rivers and streams is rainfall carrying airborne mercury that is released from coal combustion and in connection with other industrial processes. Once in the waterways, mercury and other heavy metals generally find their way to the bottom of our rivers, streams, and wetlands. The U. S. EPA and others are sponsoring research to learn more about what this means for our water supply. Obviously, the best way to attack this problem is through better air pollution control and enforcement measures.
