15 The Effects of Mercury Emissions in the Ocean Dayana Smoot – Muna Sultan – Mariana Juarez – Anson North Nearby anthropogenic sources, such as coal burning and mining of iron, can contaminate water sources with methylmercury, which is efficiently absorbed in the bodies of fish. Through the process of biomagnification, mercury levels in each successive predatory stage increase. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_in_fish#/m edia/File:MercuryFoodChain.svg

18 The Effects of Mercury Emissions in the Ocean Dayana Smoot – Muna Sultan – Mariana Juarez – Anson North Methylmercury concentrations were about 1 million times higher in predator fish than in stream water. [Note logarithmic scale of y-axis. The top and bottom of each circle represent the range of measured methylmercury concentrations. Data are for streams in Oregon, Wisconsin, and Florida sampled during 2002–2006 https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1395/pdf/circ1395.pdf

25 The Effects of Mercury Emissions in the Ocean Dayana Smoot – Muna Sultan – Mariana Juarez – Anson North The United States contributed the third largest amount of mercury to worldwide emissions from human activities during 2005. Burning coal and other fossil fuels was the single largest component of anthropogenic mercury emissions in the United States, accounting for slightly more than one-half of the total. https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1395/pdf/circ1395.pdf
